Hague Golf & Country Club
The Hague
Located in the dunes at Wassenaar, just north of The Hague, Royal Hague Golf & Country Club is the oldest golf club in the Netherlands and one of continental Europe’s most highly regarded classic courses. Founded in 1893, the club is known locally as “The Old Lady”, with its current 18-hole course set in the beautiful dune landscape of Meijendel.
The course is a true dune-land layout, sitting around 3.5 km from the coast, with natural elevation changes, firm turf, sandy soil, heather, pines and exposed winds shaping the round. It has a strong links/heathland feel rather than a flat Dutch parkland style, so golfers need creativity, accuracy and good course management rather than just power.
Royal Hague is widely considered one of the finest championship courses in the Netherlands. The routing makes full use of the natural dune terrain, with uneven lies, raised greens and strategic bunkering creating a proper test from start to finish. It is a course for golfers who appreciate traditional architecture, natural landscapes and a more exclusive private-club atmosphere.
For Netherlands golf holidays, Royal Hague works brilliantly as a premium addition to an Amsterdam, The Hague or Dutch coast itinerary. It pairs especially well with other standout coastal courses such as Kennemer and Noordwijkse, giving golfers a strong taste of classic Dutch dune golf.

About The Area
The Hague is one of the Netherlands’ best city-and-coast golf bases, combining refined culture, North Sea beaches and access to some of the country’s strongest courses. It feels more relaxed than Amsterdam but still offers brilliant restaurants, museums, shopping and seaside atmosphere, making it a smart choice for golfers who want more than just the round.
The standout nearby venue is Koninklijke Haagsche Golf & Country Club, often known as Royal Hague, located in the dunes at Wassenaar. Founded in 1893, it is the oldest golf club in the Netherlands and sits among natural dune terrain, giving it a classic Dutch links-style feel. The course is widely regarded as one of the country’s finest, with firm fairways, elevation changes, heather, dunes and wind all shaping the challenge.
Closer to the city, Haagse Golfvereniging Leeuwenbergh offers an 18-hole course with good practice facilities, including a covered and illuminated driving range, short-game areas and putting greens. It gives golfers a more accessible local option while still providing a proper test.
Golf around The Hague is best from April to October, with late spring through early autumn giving the most reliable weather and longer daylight. Coastal winds can play a big part, especially on dune and seaside layouts, so controlled ball flight and course management matter.
Off the course, The Hague is excellent. The city is home to the Mauritshuis, the Binnenhof area and easy access to Scheveningen Beach, giving you art, history and beach life in one trip. The Mauritshuis also positions The Hague as a strong day-trip city with shopping, terraces, nature and culture all close together.
For golfers seeking elite Dutch golf, coastal scenery and a polished city-break feel, The Hague is one of the Netherlands’ most complete and enjoyable golf destinations.
