Review by Marina Romanik
Hi, I’m Marina Romanik, a PGA-certified golf instructor. I love helping people fall for this game — beginners taking their very first swing, juniors full of energy, and players who simply want to get better. Golf should feel relaxed and fun, and a few good lessons can change everything about how you play.
Golf De Gulbergen sits on the highest point of Noord-Brabant — locals call it “Het dak van Brabant”, the roof of Brabant. From up here you get wide, sweeping views over the rolling countryside, and that gentle height gives the whole course a special, airy feel. It is a real treat to play golf with a horizon like that around you.
This is a generous parkland course with 27 holes. That number is the secret to its charm: the holes are arranged as flexible loops, so you can choose a calm 9-hole walk or a longer day out, and the mix always feels a little different. At par 70 and around 5,655 metres, it stays friendly and very playable while still giving you plenty to enjoy.
The setting is open and rolling, with mature trees and soft green fairways. It is the kind of place where a beginner feels welcome and an experienced player still finds something to think about. There is a real golf academy on site, a covered and floodlit driving range, a putting green, a short-game area and practice bunkers — everything you need to warm up or to truly work on your game.
Best for: beginners who want a beautiful, encouraging place to start, improving players who love variety, and anyone — Dutch or expat — who enjoys golf with a view and a warm welcome.

A view this good deserves your best golf. When your swing feels solid and your short game is sharp, every round here becomes more fun — fewer worries, more enjoyment, and those panoramas to soak up between shots.
That is where I can help. I teach all ages and levels — children, adults, beginners and players who already know the game — in Dutch, English, Ukrainian or Russian, always in a relaxed and positive way. Together we build the simple, repeatable habits that make golf feel easy and fun.
Wherever you choose to play, a few lessons with me sharpen your game fast and grow your confidence. Book a lesson online, send me a WhatsApp, or just call me — and let’s get you playing your best, with a smile.
Yes, Golf De Gulbergen is a members-with-introduction club and requires a valid handicap (GVB) to play. If you are still working towards yours, the on-site golf academy is a great place to start — and a few lessons with Marina Romanik are a fast way to build the skills and confidence you need.
A 9-hole round is €44. For current 18-hole and weekend rates, check the tarieven page at golfdegulbergen.nl or call the club on 0492-592455.

Absolutely. The open, rolling parkland layout is welcoming and very playable, and there is a full golf academy on site with a covered driving range, putting green, and short-game area. Booking a lesson with Marina Romanik before your first round is a great way to feel confident from hole one.
Yes — the clubhouse has a full restaurant, a bar, and a terrace where you can unwind with those wide Noord-Brabant panoramas still fresh in your mind.
The course is at Heiderschoor 26, 5731 RG Mierlo in Noord-Brabant — roughly an 80-minute drive from Utrecht. It sits on the highest point of the region, so the approach itself is scenic. Full directions are on golfdegulbergen.nl.
