Hi, I am Marina Romanik, a PGA-certified golf instructor. I love helping people fall for this game, one happy swing at a time. Whether you have never held a club or you already play and want to get sharper, I make every lesson clear, relaxed and fun. Golf should feel like a joy, not a test.
Golf & Country Club De Tongelreep sits in Eindhoven, in the province of Noord-Brabant, and has welcomed golfers since 1984. It is a 9-hole course, which makes it a wonderfully approachable place to play. Nine holes is friendly on your time and friendly on your energy — you can enjoy a full round without setting aside a whole day, then relax afterward.
There is a real warmth to a club like this. You get a driving range to warm up and work on your swing, a golf academy for learning and improving, and a restaurant where you can sit down after your round and enjoy the company. It is the kind of place where golf feels social and welcoming, not stiff.
What I love most about De Tongelreep is how well it fits people who are growing into the game. There is a short course, which is gold for building confidence and learning the touch shots that lower your scores. Juniors are genuinely welcome here, with a junior program to bring young players along. Lessons are available on site, and the club hosts group events too — perfect for friends, families or a fun day out with colleagues.
So who will enjoy it most? Beginners who want a gentle, encouraging place to start. Improving players who want to sharpen their short game on the practice areas. Parents who want their children to learn in a supportive club. And anyone who simply loves the easy pleasure of nine holes in the Brabant green. Visitors are welcome and you can book your tee time online, so it is easy to come and play.

A beautiful 9-hole course like De Tongelreep is even more fun when your swing feels reliable. The short holes reward good touch and smart thinking, and that is exactly what we build together in a lesson — a calm, repeatable swing and a short game that saves you shots around the green.
I am Marina Romanik, and I teach players of every age and level — children, adults, beginners and seasoned golfers. I teach in Dutch, English, Ukrainian and Russian, so you can learn in the language that feels most natural to you. My lessons are upbeat, simple and built around you. Wherever you choose to play, a few good lessons make every round more enjoyable.
