Golfclub Erve Braakman

The Golfclub Erve Braakman can be found in the small village of Hoge Hexel in the municipality of Wierden, which is located in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It lies to the east of Hoge Hexel, embedded in a former agricultural landscape in the region of Twente, on an area of 5 hectares that belongs to the residence of the Braakman family. From the closest town of Almelo, the Golfclub Erve Braakman can be reached in 15 minutes via the Aadorpweg. It was founded in 2006 and opened an 18-hole pitch & putt course with par 54, for which the company Vos Ruinerwold supplied the design according to geo norms. The park of the discreetly integrated par 3 course runs along the terrain of former corn fields that have been filled with earth. The greens were set up on sand. A large pond, connected to water ditches, and old oak trees stem from the original surroundings, which was topped up with deciduous trees such as birch trees, black alders, and dense hedges. Golfclub Erve Braakman’s 250-meter-long driving range is particularly interesting. It is located on the pond and provides six covered, lit tees. Golfers can practice with floating balls here, since they have to hit them above the pond. Additionally, there is a practice area in the club with a putting green as well as a chipping area with practice bunkers.
