Noordwijkse Golfclub Top 100 Review

Noordwijkse Golfclub is an 18-hole championship golf course located near Noordwijk in the Netherlands, situated on 68 hectares within the Natura 2000-protected Kennemerland-Zuid dune area. The current course was designed by Paul de Jong and British architect Ken Cotton, opening in 1972 after the original 1913-established course required relocation due to urban development.

The layout features scenic coastal views and challenging architecture integrated with high-value dune nature, including rare dune grasslands. The course spans approximately 5 kilometers north of the Noordwijk lighthouse and is characterized by its beautiful setting along natural dune terrain.

Notably, Noordwijkse Golfclub hosted the Dutch Open professional tournament nine times between 1978 and 2001, attracting world-class competitors including Seve Ballesteros, Bernard Langer, Payne Stewart, and Graham Marsh. The course is recognized as one of the finest in the Netherlands, designed to be experienced by players of all levels as fair, beautiful, and challenging while maintaining commitment to natural habitat preservation and environmental stewardship within its protected setting.
