Golf Club Leeuwenbergh (Den Haag)

A parkland gem in Den Haag

Golf Club Leeuwenbergh sits on the Elzenlaan in Den Haag and has been welcoming golfers since 1988. The 18-hole, par-71 course was designed by the respected Dutch architect Gerard Jol, who shaped it into a gentle parkland layout — tree-lined fairways, soft greens and a calm, green setting that feels like a small escape from the city.

At around 5,534 metres, the course rewards smart, accurate golf rather than raw power. That makes it a real pleasure to play: every hole asks you to think, place your ball, and enjoy the walk. The mood here is friendly and relaxed, and it shows — Leeuwenbergh was even nominated as Sports Venue of the Year 2026 (Sportaccommodatie van het jaar), a lovely sign of how much care goes into this place.

The facilities are a big part of the charm. There is a covered and floodlit driving range, so you can practise comfortably whatever the season or the weather. A putting green, a short-game area and practice bunkers let you sharpen every part of your game. Add a welcoming clubhouse with a restaurant and a terrace, a pro shop, buggies for hire, and step-free access for wheelchair users, and you have a club that truly takes care of its visitors.

Best for: beginners and improving players. Leeuwenbergh is a pay-and-play course that warmly welcomes visitors, with online tee-time booking and play all year round. It is genuinely beginner-friendly, has a junior programme for young golfers, and an academy on site. For expats and newcomers to the Netherlands, that friendly, easy-going feel makes it a wonderful place to grow into the game.

Play it better with a few lessons

A course as thoughtful as Leeuwenbergh comes alive when your swing feels reliable. Those tree-lined fairways and well-kept greens are far more fun when you can place your tee shot, control your distance, and roll in a few putts with confidence. That is exactly where a few lessons make all the difference.

I teach at Chi Chi Golf in Utrecht and at Golfschool Hoenderdaal in Driebergen, and I would love to help you get ready for rounds anywhere — including a relaxed day out at Leeuwenbergh. Together we will build a swing you can trust, work on your short game, and make sure every visit to the course feels rewarding. Wherever you play, a handful of friendly lessons sharpens your game and grows your confidence fast.

If you are just starting out, or coming back to golf after a break, do not worry — I will meet you exactly where you are, with patience and a smile. Book a lesson with me online, send me a WhatsApp, or simply give me a call. Let’s get you out on the course and enjoying your golf. See you soon! ⛳
