Golfbaan Kasteel Engelenburg

The Golfbaan Kasteel Engelenburg is situated in the town of Brummen, which lies in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is the Engelenburg Golf & Country Club’s house course and stretches across the area of the former moated castle Kasteel Engelenburg, which was torn down in the 19th century and replaced by a new castle. The Golfbaan Kasteel Engelenpark runs through its castle park, hidden between old oak trees in the valley of the river Ijssel, and allows picturesque views of the castle. The course is comfortable to reach from the nearby towns of Zutphen, Apeldoorn, and Arnheim in 20 to 30 minutes. It was opened in 1988 and based on a design by the famous English golf course architect Donald Steel. He created a 9-hole parkland course with par 72 and a length of 5852 meters which can be played as an 18-hole course through tee-offs. The Golfbaan Kasteel Engelenburg features long, rather narrow fairways, fast, undulating greens, doglegs, bunkers, and very many water hazards. Hole 2 offers a view of the back of the castle, while tee of hole 3 is situated by a 400-year-old ice cellar. Hole 6 has an elevated tee from which one can also catch a glimpse of the castle. Hole 7 presents a double dogleg and hole 9 requires a tee shot over water.
