WITH NO LESS THAN 420,000 GOLFERS AND 275 GOLF COURSES, GOLF IS THE FOURTH MOST POPULAR SPORT IN THE NETHERLANDS AND THIS NUMBER IS STILL GROWING.
The mild maritime Dutch climate means golf can be played year-round. Golf in the Netherlands is accessible and affordable for everyone, partly thanks to a diverse offering and a high percentage of ‘small courses’ such as par-3 courses and pitch & putt courses.
The Netherlands has a large number of golf courses that fall high in international course lists and are among the world's best. Amongst these are the Solheim Cup 2026 venue, Bernardus Golf, along with Golf Club De Pan in Utrecht (a traditional Colt classic) and The Kennemer Golf & Country Club in Zandvoort (the oldest links course in the Netherlands).
The Royal Dutch Golf Federation (NGF) is immensely proud to be hosting the 2026 Solheim Cup. It believes the event and everything leading up to it will have a very positive impact on its strategic goals to attracting more young players, women in particular, to the sport.
The Netherlands may be a small country, but it is determined to deliver the greatest Solheim Cup ever!
