Toxandria — a North Brabant classic from the Colt school, restored with restraint
Geography & setting
The course is located in Molenschot, set amidst a landscape of woods, heathland, and gently rolling terrain. Pines, deciduous trees, and clearings define an environment typical of Brabant.
History
Toxandria was founded on July 5, 1928, by Charles Stulemeijer. The initial nine-hole course was designed by John Morrison, working within the firm Colt, Alison & Morrison, with direct input from Harry Colt. The course was subsequently expanded to eighteen holes and adapted by Joan Dudok van Heel, then more recently restored by Frank Pont.
Architecture
The diagonal lines, discreet bunkers, and greens defended by the natural contours of the land are reminiscent of the Colt school. Recent interventions have aimed to open up angles and restore strategic width.
The course in detail
Toxandria is easy to walk but demands consistent precision. The holes do not strive for spectacular effect; their strength lies in the repetition of choices.
Club experience
The club maintains a historic, sporting, and relatively discreet atmosphere, with a strong tradition in junior and amateur golf.
Highlights
Club founded in 1928; initial nine holes by John Morrison and Harry Colt; subsequent expansions by Joan Dudok van Heel; restoration by Frank Pont.
