Golfclub De Scherpenbergh (Lieren)

Review by Marina Romanik

Golfclub De Scherpenbergh

Where good golf begins

Hi, I’m Marina Romanik, a PGA-certified golf instructor with a simple belief: golf should feel like fun, not homework. I teach players of every age and level, and I love that first moment when a new student watches the ball fly clean and far. Whether you are just starting or chasing a lower handicap, my goal is the same — to help you enjoy this beautiful game more.

A course in the woods

Golfclub De Scherpenbergh sits near Lieren, tucked into the green heart of the Veluwe. This is woodland golf at its best: tall trees frame the fairways, water hazards catch the eye, and the land rolls gently up and down so no two holes feel the same. The natural setting is part of the pleasure — you play golf and breathe in real Dutch nature at the same time.

It is an 18-hole course with a championship character, which means it rewards a thoughtful round. Good shot-making matters here, and that is exactly what makes a strong day so satisfying. There is also a shorter course on site, so you can warm up, practice your short game, or enjoy a relaxed lap when you want something gentler.

De Scherpenbergh is welcoming to visitors and easy to plan: it is pay-and-play with online booking, open year-round, and NGF-affiliated. A driving range lets you loosen up before you tee off, and the restaurant is a warm place to share the round afterwards. With its own academy, group events, and a ladies program, it is a club that genuinely loves to help golfers grow.

Best for improving players who want a real test among the trees, and for groups, ladies’ days, and anyone who enjoys golf wrapped in nature.

Play it with confidence

A course like this gives back as much as you put in. The trees and water ask for accuracy, and a little smart guidance turns those challenges into the most rewarding shots of your day. A few lessons can sharpen your aim, settle your swing, and help you read a rolling, wooded layout with calm and confidence.

Wherever you choose to play, I would love to help you enjoy your golf even more. Book a lesson with me, Marina Romanik, and let’s work on the parts of your game that make every round more fun. I teach in a friendly, simple way — in English, Dutch, Ukrainian or Russian — so you always feel at ease. Come and play your best golf with a smile.

Good to know

Do I need a handicap to play at Golfclub De Scherpenbergh?

Yes, a valid handicap (NGF/GVB card or equivalent) is required to play the main 18-hole course. The club is NGF-affiliated, so any recognised golf handicap is accepted. A shorter course is also available on site, which is a great option if you are still building your game.

Can I book a tee time online?

Yes. De Scherpenbergh is a pay-and-play club and offers online tee-time booking directly through their website at descherpenbergh.nl. No membership is required — just pick a time and show up.

How much does a green fee cost?

Green fees at De Scherpenbergh fall in the mid-range (€€) for the Netherlands. Check the current rates on their website or call them on 055 505 12 62, as prices can vary by day and season.

Is the course suitable for beginners?

The main 18-hole layout has a championship character — it rewards accurate shot-making and is best enjoyed once you have a handicap. There is a shorter course on site that is perfect for building confidence, and the academy offers lessons to help you progress at any level.

Is there a driving range and a place to eat?

Yes to both. A driving range lets you warm up properly before your round, and the clubhouse restaurant is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the Veluwe surroundings afterwards. The course is open year-round.

Can Marina Romanik give me lessons to prepare for a course like this?

Absolutely. A championship woodland course like De Scherpenbergh rewards accuracy and smart course management — exactly the skills Marina focuses on in her lessons. Book a lesson with Marina and arrive at Scherpenbergh ready to play your best round.
