Golf beside the Biesbosch
Golf & Country Club Crayestein sits on the edge of Dordrecht in Zuid-Holland, tucked against the beautiful Hollandse Biesbosch. Water is everywhere here — the course is framed by the Wantij, the Spaarbekken reservoir and the wide Merwede — so you play surrounded by green and a real sense of nature, just south of Rotterdam.
It is a parkland course of 18 holes, par 71, measuring about 4,734 metres. Parkland means soft, tree-lined fairways and a gentle, walkable feel — the kind of layout that rewards a steady, well-placed shot more than raw power. That makes it a lovely round for players of every level, whether you are finding your rhythm or sharpening your scoring.
There is plenty to enjoy before and after your game, too. A covered, floodlit driving range lets you warm up in any weather, and a putting green, short-game area and practice bunkers give you everything you need to find your touch. On site there’s a golf academy for lessons, a pro shop, and a comfortable restaurant with a bar and terrace — so you can finish your round with a relaxed drink looking back over the course.
Crayestein has also welcomed the professionals: it has hosted the European Senior Tour more than once. That is a quiet badge of quality — a course in good condition, set up to be both fair and fun.
Best for: beginners and improving players who want a relaxed, complete day out — easy walking, great practice facilities, an on-site academy, and a warm clubhouse to finish in. Because it is a pay-and-play course, it is also wonderfully simple to visit.

Play it with more confidence
A pretty course like Crayestein is even more fun when your swing feels reliable. A few focused lessons can do more than hours of guessing on your own — better contact, straighter drives, a short game that saves you shots, and the calm confidence to enjoy every hole.
I’m Marina Romanik, and I teach golfers of all ages and levels — beginners taking their very first swing, juniors, and experienced players who want to go lower. I speak Dutch, English, Ukrainian and Russian, so everyone feels at home in a lesson. I coach at Chi Chi Golf in Utrecht and at Golfschool Hoenderdaal in Driebergen, and I love helping people discover how rewarding this game can be.
Wherever you play your next round, a little coaching makes it more enjoyable. Book a lesson with me — online, by WhatsApp, or just give me a call — and let’s make your golf simpler, smoother, and a lot more fun.
