International Golf Maastricht

: a compact but complete nine-hole course designed for a sub-two-hour round on the Dousberg.

The Limburg Course opened in April 2016 to complement the Championship Course. It is not a simple par-three layout: it includes one par five, six par fours and two par threes. It was created for shorter rounds, beginners and experienced players seeking a technical format. The loop shares the Dousberg landscape: elevation, Meuse valley views, wind and rolling terrain. Its smaller footprint brings holes closer together while preserving a genuine sense of place. Dutch Limburg occupies a unique place in the country’s golf geography. Its hills, valleys and varied soils create sightlines and ball flights that are impossible on northern polder courses. The region’s proximity to Belgium and Germany also gives its clubs a naturally cross-border membership and visitor culture.

The design uses slightly shorter holes with readable hazards and greens sufficiently defended to interest stronger players. Higher-handicap golfers retain accessible lines. The relationship between tee, landing area and green is therefore more important than apparent width. Architects use slopes to create uphill, downhill and uneven-lie shots without making every hole depend on raw length. At par 35, the loop can be played in under two hours. Its mix of par values gives it genuine course status. Wind and elevation prevent it from feeling automatically easy.

The Limburg Course uses the same practice, dining and accommodation facilities as the Championship Course. It is particularly suitable for short events, introductions and late-day rounds. Local hospitality—terraces, dining, accommodation and access to historic towns—extends the day beyond the final green. A visit can easily form part of a multi-day stay in the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion. Opened in April 2016; nine holes, par 35; one par five, six par fours and two par threes; designed for a sub-two-hour round.
