Veenstra and Bergsma’s par 60
Golfclub De Vlietlanden sits in Wervershoof, in the green heart of Noord-Holland. It is a parkland course laid out by Lambert Veenstra and Aart Bergsma, and the club’s own website lists a full 18-hole round played to par 60 across roughly 2,620 metres. That par-60 shape tells you what kind of golf you get here: a layout built around precise iron play and a sure touch around the greens, where finding the right line matters more than raw power off the tee.
Golfers rate it warmly. On LeadingCourses it holds 7.4 out of 10 from 130 ratings, and on Hole19 it earns 4.5 out of 5 from 17 golfers — steady, positive scores from people who play here regularly.
De Vlietlanden is a public course, and this is one of the nicest things about it. You do not need a handicap card (GVB) to play. Visitors are welcome all year round, beginners and casual players just as much as seasoned golfers, and you can book your starting time online at golfbaandevlietlanden.nl. An 18-hole round costs around €30, which makes a full day out on the course very easy on the wallet.
Practice, then play
The club backs up the course with a real practice setup. There is a driving range, a putting green, a dedicated short-game area and practice bunkers, so you can warm up properly or spend an hour on one part of your game before you tee off. An on-site academy, a pro shop and a restaurant round out the day — somewhere to get advice, somewhere to grab what you forgot, and somewhere to sit down after the round.
Who suits it best? Beginners and juniors first. The club runs its own junior programme and opens its doors to new golfers of every age, and the accuracy-first character of a par-60 layout is a gentle, encouraging place to learn what a good golf shot feels like. Families who want to play a complete 18 holes together, without anyone needing a handicap, will feel right at home too.

Marina's note for learners
A par-60 layout rewards exactly the skills I love to teach — clean contact, reliable irons and a confident short game. A few lessons will make De Vlietlanden a very satisfying place to play.

The game a par 60 rewards
A course like De Vlietlanden asks for clean contact and confident irons more than a big drive — the ball has to land where you aim it, again and again. That repeatable, honest ball-striking is the exact part of the game Marina Romanik most loves to teach. A few sessions on the fundamentals, and a par-60 layout like this one becomes a genuinely satisfying place to test your progress.

Marina teaches at Chi Chi Golf in Utrecht and Golfschool Hoenderdaal in Driebergen — not at De Vlietlanden itself. You can book a lesson with her online, and a few sessions are a great way to get the most out of a par-60 course like this one.
