Polder and park, two loops
Golfclub Westerpark sits in Zoetermeer, in the green belt between The Hague and Rotterdam. From the club’s own description, it is a parkland course laid out as two nine-hole loops — 18 holes, par 71, around 5,474 metres — with open fairways, water in play and gentle elevation changes across polder and park land. For the middle of the busy Randstad, it stays green and quiet.
Golfers rate it warmly. On LeadingCourses it holds 6.8 out of 10 from 611 ratings, and on Hole19 4.1 out of 5 from 166 ratings (checked 26 September 2026) — steady scores for a course people come back to.
Who does it suit? New golfers and improvers first. The two loops mean you can play just nine holes while you are still building your game, and the open, walkable layout keeps the pressure low. Families and social groups fit easily here too, and there is a dedicated ladies programme for women who want to start or play regularly with others.
Play first, no handicap needed
Westerpark is a pay-and-play course, and this is its friendliest feature: no handicap card, no GVB, no membership. You book a tee time online and you play. A green fee is €75 for 18 holes and €37.50 for nine, so a shorter round is an easy, low-cost way to begin.
Practice is a real strength. There is a covered driving range, a putting green and a short-game area, plus an on-site academy — so you can warm up your full swing, roll a few putts and sharpen your chipping before you tee off. A restaurant and a bar with a terrace round out the day, whether you come for nine holes or a full round with friends.

Marina's note for learners
Two loops and no handicap barrier make this a course I would point a newer player toward — start with nine holes, warm up on the covered range, and let those water-flanked approach shots teach you the value of a repeatable, controlled swing.

Water rewards a soft touch
Westerpark asks for control more than raw power — with water in play and two gentle loops, a confident short game and a steady approach shot save more strokes here than a long drive. That is exactly the part of the game I most enjoy teaching a newer player: a repeatable swing, a calm putting stroke, and the confidence to enjoy every hole.
Good to know
Do I need a handicap card or GVB to play at Golfclub Westerpark?
No — Westerpark is a pay-and-play course and no handicap card or GVB is required. Book a tee time online and you are ready to go, no membership needed either.
How much is the green fee, and can I book online?
A full 18-hole round costs €75; nine holes is €37.50. You can book your tee time directly on the official website at hollandschegolfclub.nl.
Is Golfclub Westerpark suitable for beginners?
Yes. The course is laid out as two nine-hole loops on open, walkable parkland, so you can start with just nine holes while you build confidence. There is also an on-site academy, a covered driving range, a putting green and a short-game area — everything you need to warm up properly before you tee off.
Is there a ladies programme at Westerpark?
Yes. The club runs a dedicated ladies programme, making it a welcoming and social choice for women who are new to golf or want to play regularly with others.
Is there a restaurant or somewhere to eat after the round?
Yes — the club has a restaurant and a bar with a terrace, a relaxed spot to sit down before or after your round.
Can I take a lesson with Marina Romanik before playing here?
Marina Romanik teaches at Chi Chi Golf in Utrecht and at Golfschool Hoenderdaal in Driebergen — not at Westerpark itself. A lesson with her is a great way to build the short-game and approach skills that save the most strokes on a course like this. Book online, send a WhatsApp or give her a call.
