Pennink parkland by the water
Golfclub Broekpolder sits in the polders of Vlaardingen, in Zuid-Holland. It is an 18-hole parkland course, par 72, laid out over about 6,007 metres. The routing began with the Dutch architect J.J. Frank Pennink, was reworked by Gerard Jol, and had a fresh renovation in 2021/2022 by Frank Pont — so the course you play today is a well-tended, modern version of a classic design.
The character comes from water. Open fairways run between ponds and channels edged with tall reeds, with the low, wide Midden-Delfland landscape opening around you. The club even took the frog as its own little symbol, a nod to all that water and reed. It gives Broekpolder a friendly, unmistakable identity.
Golfers rate it warmly. On LeadingCourses it holds 7.5 out of 10 from 174 ratings, and on Hole19 it scores 4.5 out of 5 across 53 golfers (checked 26 September 2026). Those are steady, happy numbers for a course that asks you to think.
Suits: this is a course with a bit of bite, so stronger players who enjoy placing the ball will feel at home first. But the fairways are open and generous, which also makes it a fair, rewarding place for players who are building their game and want room to swing.
Play it as a visitor
Broekpolder is pay-and-play, and visitors are welcome. You can book your tee time online, and the 18-hole green fee is around €85. For practice there is a driving range, a putting green and a short-game area, plus a golf academy on site, a pro shop, buggy rental and a clubhouse restaurant for after your round.
For a learner, that mix is ideal: warm up, work on your short game, then take on the water holes with a plan.

Marina's note for learners
Water-lined parkland like Broekpolder is where accurate shotmaking and calm course management really count — the skills I most enjoy helping players build. Book a lesson and we can prepare you for exactly that kind of challenge.

What this course asks
The water is the story here. Reeds line the fairways and ponds guard the approaches, so Broekpolder rewards a repeatable swing and smart course management far more than raw distance. That balance of accuracy and calm decision-making under a little pressure is exactly the kind of golf I most enjoy helping players build.
