Links along the Amstel
Golf Amsteldijk is a 9-hole course in Amstelveen, laid out along the river Amstel. The club opened in 2012 to a design by Allen Rijks and, on its own website, calls it a 20-hectare inland-links layout — open fairways running beside the water, with the Nesserlaan on one side. Par is 34 over about 2,600 metres, and the nine can be played as two loops when you want a longer round.
Golfers give it a warm reception. On LeadingCourses it holds 7.1 out of 10 from 399 ratings, which for a young pay-and-play course is a friendly, dependable score.
Getting on the course is simple. It is pay-and-play, visitors are welcome, and you book your tee time online at the club’s site. A round of nine costs €33.50, or €63 if you go round twice for a full eighteen. It stays open year-round, so a bright winter morning is as open to you as a summer evening.
Suits: this is a lovely place to begin, or to keep your game ticking over. The club runs a junior programme and a golf academy, keeps club rental on hand, and welcomes new golfers warmly — so a first-timer, a family, or an improver looking for relaxed, honest holes will feel right at home. Stronger players enjoy it too, as a quick, well-kept nine when time is short.
Practice before you play
The practice side here is genuinely good. The club lists a covered, floodlit driving range, a putting green, a short-game area and practice bunkers — everything you need to warm up properly or to spend a session fixing one part of your game. A restaurant, bar and terrace round off the day, and buggies are there if you would rather ride.

Marina's note for learners
Before a links-style round on open fairways I encourage students to spend time at the short-game area and covered range — ball control and tee placement matter far more than distance when the wind has room to work.

Open links-style fairways beside the Amstel give the wind room to work, so this nine rewards a controlled, repeatable ball flight over raw power. Good placement off the tee and a tidy short game keep your score honest here. That is the part I most enjoy helping a golfer build before a round like this.
Good to know
Do I need a handicap or GVB to play here?
Yes — you need a valid GVB card or handicap certificate to play at Golf Amsteldijk. No membership is required, however: it is a pay-and-play course, so visitors can book directly once they have their GVB.
How much does a round cost?
A 9-hole round costs €33.50, or €63.00 if you play two loops for a full eighteen. The course is open year-round, so you can plan your visit whenever suits you.
Can I book a tee time online?
Yes, online tee-time booking is available directly through amsteldijk.nl — quick and easy, no phone call needed.
Is Golf Amsteldijk suitable for beginners and juniors?
Very much so. The club runs a junior programme and welcomes new golfers warmly. Club rental is available on site, and the compact 9-hole layout along the Amstel is manageable and enjoyable at any level.
What practice facilities are there?
There is a covered, floodlit driving range, a putting green, a short-game area, and practice bunkers — a full set-up for warming up before your round or working on a specific part of your game.
Can I take a lesson with Marina Romanik here?
Marina Romanik teaches at Chi Chi Golf in Utrecht and Golfschool Hoenderdaal in Driebergen, not at Golf Amsteldijk. A lesson with her before your round is a great way to sharpen your ball control and tee placement — exactly what the open, links-style fairways here reward. The club also has its own golf academy with lessons available on site.
