Golfclub 't Naarderbos (Naarden)

Review by Marina Romanik

Golf with a smile

Hi, I’m Marina Romanik, a PGA-certified golf teacher based in Utrecht. I believe golf should feel light, happy and full of small wins — that little click when the ball flies the way you pictured it. Whether you are brand new to the game or chasing a lower score, I love helping people enjoy every step.

A leafy escape in Naarden

Golfclub ’t Naarderbos opened in 2003 and has grown into a lovely woodland course on the edge of Naarden. It sits right beside the Gooimeer lake, with a large, modern clubhouse of 6,000 m² where you can relax before or after your round. The setting is what makes this place so special: an ecological corridor links the famous Naardermeer nature reserve to the randmeren, so the course is alive with greenery and birdsong. On a quiet day you might even spot an otter or a beaver near the water — a real treat while you play.

The course has 18 holes, par 72, laid out as two loops through the trees. The tree-lined fairways and natural surroundings keep every round calm and enjoyable, and the relaxed mood means you never feel rushed. Best of all, ’t Naarderbos is pay-and-play: you do not need a handicap or GVB card, you can simply book a tee time online and go. That makes it a wonderful place to take your first full round, or to enjoy easy, friendly golf if you already play. With a driving range, putting green and an academy on site, there is space to warm up and improve too. For golfers around Utrecht it is an easy outing — about 24 minutes by car.

Play it better with me

A round through these leafy fairways is even more fun when your swing feels reliable. A few lessons can do wonders — better contact, smoother putting, and the confidence to enjoy a tree-lined course like ’t Naarderbos without worry. I teach all ages and levels, in Dutch, English, Ukrainian or Russian, always with patience and a smile.

I give lessons at Chi Chi Golf in Utrecht and at Golfschool Hoenderdaal in Driebergen. Come and learn with me first, then take your sharper game out to Naarden and enjoy every hole. Book online, send me a WhatsApp, or give me a call — I’d love to help you play your best golf. See you on the green!
