Golfpark De Purmer
Purmerend
Golfpark De Purmer is a flexible multi-loop venue in the North Holland polder landscape near Purmerend. The main course comprises three nine-hole loops—red, white and yellow—which can be paired in any of three 18-hole combinations. A separate nine-hole par-three course adds a compact option for beginners, short-game practice or groups wanting a lighter session. This format makes the venue particularly useful for a short break because two rounds need not follow exactly the same route.
Open views and long sightlines define the setting. The red loop uses broad fairways, water hazards and the scale of the surrounding landscape to create a round that appears generous but still asks for sensible positioning. The white loop continues the open theme with wide landing areas and changing perspectives, while the yellow nine brings further water, large greens and its own sequence of decisions. Pairing the loops changes the rhythm of the round and allows organisers to match the itinerary to tee-time availability.
Wind is an important part of golf on exposed polder ground. When it rises, club selection and control of ball flight become more significant, and water can exert a stronger influence than the yardage suggests. In calmer conditions the width makes the venue welcoming for mixed handicaps, although players still need to choose the correct line into spacious greens. The par-three course offers a useful alternative for newcomers or an informal team competition after the main round.
Changing the loop order can also alter which holes are played into the prevailing breeze late in the round, so the same venue can feel noticeably different on consecutive days.
Golfers can use the driving range, putting green and chipping and practice zones, with lessons available through the Hollandsche Golfschool. The clubhouse brasserie welcomes golfers and non-golfers for coffee, lunch, drinks or dinner. Visitors should book tee times in advance and confirm which loop combination is operating, as well as buggy, club-hire and range arrangements. Published reception, course and catering hours can change with the season or maintenance programme.
The course can also form part of a self-drive itinerary with another North Holland venue or an Amsterdam city stay. It best suits sociable groups seeking accessible golf, different loop combinations and the freedom to balance full rounds with sightseeing around Purmerend, Edam and Volendam.

About The Area
Purmerend is a handy Dutch golf base just north of Amsterdam, offering easy access to countryside golf, historic towns and classic North Holland scenery. It sits within Laag Holland, an area known for polders, waterways, traditional villages and wide-open landscapes immediately above the capital. Laag Holland tourism describes the region as “real Holland” just north of Amsterdam, with villages such as Edam, Volendam, Marken and Purmerend surrounded by lowland countryside and water.
The key golf venue is Golfpark De Purmer / BurgGolf Purmerend, located on the edge of the town. The course is set in the open North Holland polder landscape and offers a 27-hole championship course plus a 9-hole par-3 course, with water features, bunkers, wide fairways and practice facilities. It is a very useful setup for golf groups because the different 9-hole loops can be combined into varied 18-hole rounds, while the short course works well for beginners, warm-ups or a lighter arrival-day round.
Golf here is generally parkland/polder-style rather than links: open views, water hazards and relatively flat walking conditions. The best time to visit is April to October, with May to September giving the most comfortable weather and longer daylight.
Off the course, Purmerend is well placed for proper Dutch day trips. Amsterdam is close enough for evenings out, museums and canal-side dining, while Edam, Volendam, Marken and the Beemster polder give you windmills, cheese, fishing villages and classic countryside scenery without long transfers. Purmerend itself has a relaxed local feel, with town-centre cafés, restaurants and historic market-square atmosphere.
For golfers seeking easy Amsterdam access, flexible golf facilities and a quieter North Holland base, Purmerend is a practical and enjoyable Dutch golf escape.
