Doornse Golf Club

The Doornse Golf Club lies in the central Dutch town of Doorn, which belongs to the municipality of Utrechtse Heuvelbrug in the province of Utrecht. It runs along a hilly sand area with dense forests, the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, in which the forest pool of Doorn was once located. After its closing, the Doornse Golf Club took over the area, which can be reached in four minutes via the N227 and the Oude Arnhemse Bovenweg from Dorn. Just five minutes from the golf course, one encounters the Doorn house, a little castle in which the abdicated German emperor William II. lived in exile from 1920. The Doornse Golf Club was established in 1993 and initially owned just a 6-hole par 18 course. In 1996, the current 9-hole course with par 54 was set up. It has a length of 1544 meters and is defined by narrow fairways surrounded by forest. Deep bunkers and many water hazards increase the course’s difficulty, which is assessed as easy. Beginners can play it well, but also experienced golfers will enjoy some of the course’s refinements. Aside from its golf course, the golf club offers golfers a practice area with a driving range containing eight covered tees, and a putting green to practice pitching and putting.
