About Golfpark De Loonsche Duynen

Golfpark De Loonsche Duynen is an 18-hole public golf course at Kaatsheuvel in North Brabant. It opened in 1995 as Efteling Golfpark after its driving range opened the previous year. British architect Donald Steel designed the course across a large natural site between the Loonse en Drunense Duinen and the Huis ter Heide estate.

Contemporary descriptions distinguish an open, links-like section from more wooded parkland holes. The principal White tees measure 6,269 yards at par 72, with a 74.0 course rating and slope of 132; several shorter tees are also rated. Efteling ended its direct operation of the course and, from January 2021, the Hollandsche Golfbaan Exploitatiemaatschappij assumed management and renamed it Golfpark De Loonsche Duynen.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,269 yards. Designed by Donald Steel, the course originally opened in 1995. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Practice Facilities, Short Course, Brasserie, Restaurant, Terrace.

Origins

The course was developed in the 1990s as Efteling Golfpark. Donald Steel was engaged to design the golf course, with the driving range opening in 1994 and the 18-hole course following in 1995.

Did You Know?
The driving range opened a year before the regulation course, in 1994.

Design Philosophy

Steel's routing deliberately uses two contrasting landscape characters. Part of the course crosses more open ground with links-like qualities, while another section enters existing woodland and has a stronger parkland character.

Development

Efteling decided in 2019 that operating a golf course no longer fit its long-term strategic focus. From 1 January 2021, Hollandsche Golfbaan Exploitatiemaatschappij assumed operations and the property became Golfpark De Loonsche Duynen. A separate nine-hole short course was subsequently added.

Today

The property forms part of the Hollandsche Golfclub network. Green-fee play remains available, with online reservations, a driving range, practice areas, short course and brasserie.
