Hooge Graven Golf & Country Club

The Hooge Graven Golf & Country Club is located in the northern municipality of Ommen in the small hamlet of Arriën in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is situated on an area of more than 70 hectares in a forest that merges into heathland with sand areas. Although located in a rural area, the Hooge Graven Golf & Country Club still provides good transport links to the nearest larger city of Zwolle. From there, the golf course can be comfortably reached in 30 minutes via the Hessenweg. The cub was established in 1987, but did not open a 9-hole course and a 9-hole compact course until 1993, for which the golf course architects Eschauzier and Tate supplied the design. In 2002, the 9-hole course was finally expanded to an 18-hole woodland/heathland course with par 72. 13 fairways in the park run through forests, the remaining five on open ground. The undulating fairways and greens are flanked by deciduous and coniferous trees. The course is shaped by many bunkers, wasteland, and sandy areas with heather. There are few water hazards. Due to its location, the 18-hole course in the Golfclub Hooge Graven Golf & Country Club belongs to one of the most forested courses in the Netherlands. The 9-hole pitch & putt course with par 27 also lies in the middle of the forest. The club’s practice area is home to a covered driving range, a putting green, a chipping green, and a practice bunker.
