Kennemer Golf & Country Club

Kennemer Golf & Country Club is one of the Netherlands’ historic links-style golf courses, founded in 1910 and moved in 1928 to a layout designed by Harry Colt. The club now offers 27 holes across three courses — Van Hengel Course (A), Pennink Course (B) and Colt Course (C) — in an open dune landscape where wind is a constant factor. Firm fairways, heavy rough and the seaside setting create a classic, demanding round that rewards smart course management. With a clubhouse dating from 1928 and a strong tournament pedigree, including multiple Dutch Open events, Kennemer combines tradition with an atmospheric playing experience. Colt’s design principles and later refinements remain visible throughout the course, while ongoing bunker improvements and modern course care help preserve its distinctive character.
