At a glance
Kennemer — Harry Colt’s great three-loop dune course above Zandvoort
Geography & setting
The course occupies a vast system of coastal dunes near the North Sea and the Zandvoort circuit. Fairways wind between sandy valleys, parabolic dunes, marram grass, and more open areas where the wind becomes the primary element.
History
Founded in 1910, the club moved to Zandvoort in 1928, where Harry Colt designed a new eighteen-hole course. A further nine was later added in keeping with his principles.
Architecture
Natural dune valleys, diagonal angles and integrated bunkering create strategic width rather than automatic comfort.
The course in detail
The A Course combination traverses constantly changing dune terrain. Lies are rarely perfectly flat, views are sometimes partially obscured, and greens often appear smaller from the fairway valleys.
Club experience
Twenty-seven holes, the 1928 cottage-style clubhouse and a strong Dutch Open history define the experience.
Highlights
Club founded in 1910; moved to Zandvoort in 1928; main course by Harry Colt; twenty-seven holes; hosted several Dutch Opens.
Competitions & records
Dutch Open / KLM Open; compétitions nationales et internationales amateurs et professionnelles
