Green golf in Helmond
The Helmondse Golfclub ‘Overbrug’ sits on the edge of Helmond in Noord-Brabant, founded back in 1989. What makes it lovely is its setting: the course borders a nature area and follows the little river Schevelingseloop, so you play surrounded by greenery and quiet water. It’s a peaceful, natural spot to spend a few hours.
This is a 9-hole course, and that is one of its real charms. Nine holes is friendly. You can play a full, satisfying loop without giving up your whole day, and you can walk the same holes a second time to make a longer round. For learners that rhythm is a gift — you see the same shots again, and you feel yourself improving in real time.
The club is well set up to help you grow. There’s a covered driving range, so you can practice your swing whatever the weather, plus a putting green and a short-game area to sharpen the parts of the game that save the most strokes. There’s a golf academy on site, a clubhouse with a restaurant and a bar terrace to relax afterwards, and buggies and trolleys to rent if you’d like a lighter walk.
Best of all, ‘Overbrug’ is genuinely welcoming. Visitors are welcome, you can book your tee time online, and the club runs a junior program — a sign of a place that truly cares about new and young golfers. Beginners and families will feel right at home here, and that makes it an ideal course to build confidence on.

Play happier, learn with me
A relaxed, green 9-hole course like this is exactly where good lessons pay off. When your swing feels reliable and your short game is sharp, every loop becomes more fun — fewer lost balls, more good shots, more smiles.
I teach golfers of all ages and levels, and I speak Dutch, English, Ukrainian and Russian, so we’ll always understand each other easily. Wherever you choose to play, a few friendly lessons will sharpen your game and help you enjoy your time on the course even more.
