Golfclub de Kurenpolder

The Golfclub de Kurenpolder is located in the Dutch village of Hank, which belongs to the municipality of Werkendam in the province of Nordbrabant. It lies on an area of 90 hectares at the edge of the Nationaal Park de Brabantse Biesbosch, a former swamp that is now dry. The terrain belonging to the Golfclub de Kurenpolder winds through the Bergschen Maas, an artificially created part of the river Maas, and the leisure pool in the Biesboschpark. The club was founded in 1991 and features a 9-hole course with par 68 as well as a 9-hole junior pitch & putt course with par 27. Landscape architect Alan Rijks was responsible for the design of the course. He designed a slightly hilly course with extended fairways, lined by long rows of trees, many water hazards, bunkers, and doglegs. The course is considered to be challenging and tactically demanding, but can easily be mastered by both golf beginners and advanced golfers. It has gained A status as a championship course and can therefore host tournaments. The junior course in the Golfclub de Kurenpolder also has numerous water hazards that turn the short game into a challenge on the course. In the club’s practice area, a double decker driving range with 30 tees, 24 of which are covered, a chipping area, and a putting green await training golfers.
