About The Area
Zandvoort is one of the Netherlands’ classic seaside destinations, combining North Sea beach life with one of the country’s most historic golf clubs. It works brilliantly for golfers who want a coastal break with easy access to Amsterdam, Haarlem and the wider Dutch dune landscape. Visit Zandvoort describes the town as offering beach pavilions, watersports, wild nature and a charming town centre, so there is plenty going on beyond the golf.
The standout venue is Kennemer Golf & Country Club, located in Zandvoort itself. The club has 27 holes split across the Van Hengel, Pennink and Colt nines, giving golfers good variety across a classic seaside layout. Kennemer is one of the Netherlands’ great tournament venues too, having hosted many national and international events, with the Dutch Open played there numerous times. The course is shaped by heavy rough, a unique design and the prevailing south-westerly wind, so it rewards control, strategy and patience rather than simply hitting it miles.
Golf in Zandvoort is best from April to October, with May to September usually offering the most comfortable weather and longer daylight. Coastal wind is part of the experience, especially on exposed holes, so links-style shot-making comes in handy.
Off the course, Zandvoort is all about the beach. The sandy coastline stretches for around 9 kilometres, with space for walking, watersports, beach clubs, food and drink. The town also has the famous Circuit Zandvoort, adding a motorsport twist to the destination. Amsterdam and Haarlem are close enough for easy day trips, so golfers can pair seaside golf with museums, canals, restaurants and nightlife.
For golfers seeking classic Dutch coastal golf, beach atmosphere and easy city access, Zandvoort is one of the Netherlands’ most enjoyable and practical golf destinations.
