Visitor information
Welcome
Welcome to the Kennemer Golf & Country Club. Founded on December 11, 1910, the Kennemer Golf & Country Club moved to its present location in 1928, to the course newly designed by Harry Colt. Since then, additions have been made based on Colt’s design principles, leading to the present 27 holes. The course has an open character so wind is an important factor. Whether amateur or professional, you will be challenged by the unique design, the heavy rough and the prevailing south-westerly wind, all features of this, the oldest seaside course in the country. The Kennemer Golf & Country Club has hosted many national and international amateur and professional tournaments. The Dutch Open has been played here on numerous occasions. In recent years we faced the challenge of presenting a top-quality course without the use of pesticides or other artificial substances. We are proud of the results so far and are confident that the quality of our tees and greens will improve further. A bunker renovation programme is ongoing and if you happen to face a bunker shot, you will experience the improvements to our bunkers. We also welcome you to visit our historic clubhouse, also built in 1928, offering stunning views over the course. Our colleagues in the restaurant look forward to welcoming you for drinks, lunch or dinner. We hope that you will fondly remember your visit to the Kennemer Golf & Country Club.
