Review by Marina Romanik

Hi, I’m Marina Romanik, a PGA-certified golf instructor, and I believe golf should feel friendly from your very first swing. I teach children and adults, complete beginners and players who want to sharpen their game. Dutch, English, Ukrainian or Russian — we will find the words together, and we will have fun while you improve.
The Eindhovensche Golf in Valkenswaard is one of those courses that golfers talk about with a warm smile. It is a full 18-hole course laid out on heathland — the open, sandy landscape with heather and pine that gives a round here its calm, natural beauty. The course was designed by Harry S. Colt, one of the most respected names in golf architecture, and his thoughtful hand is felt on every hole.
The land is shaped into two loops, so the round flows naturally and brings you back near the clubhouse. From the clubhouse and its terrace you look out over holes 1, 9, 16 and 18, and over the lovely Galgenven lake, which is part of the course itself. It is a beautiful place to sit with a coffee and watch golf, or to rest after your round and talk about the shots you played.
This is a course that rewards thinking, not just power. Every hole asks you a gentle question — where to place your ball, which club to choose, how to read the ground. That is exactly what makes a Colt heathland course so satisfying: you do not need to hit it far to play well, you need to play with a plan. For a golfer who is learning to improve, there is no better teacher than a course that rewards smart, steady play.
Best for players who love classic golf and a peaceful natural setting, and for anyone who enjoys a course with real history and character. If you are working on your game, the kind of thoughtful, position-based golf this course asks for is a wonderful goal to aim toward.

A course like the Eindhovensche is most enjoyable when you trust your swing and have a simple plan for each hole. That is where a few lessons make all the difference. Together we work on the basics that matter most — a calm setup, a smooth rhythm, and smart course management — so that classic, thoughtful courses become a joy instead of a worry.
Wherever you love to play, a few lessons with me will sharpen your game and grow your confidence. I teach at Chi Chi Golf in Utrecht and at Golfschool Hoenderdaal in Driebergen, and I welcome every age and every level with the same patience and good humour.
