Review by Marina Romanik
Hi, I’m Marina Romanik, a PGA-certified golf instructor. I love helping people fall in love with this game — whether you have never held a club or you are chasing a lower handicap. My golf is friendly, simple, and fun, and I teach all ages in Dutch, English, Ukrainian and Russian.
Golfclub Welschap sits on the western edge of Eindhoven, tucked neatly between the A2 motorway and the Beatrixkanaal. It was once part of a Philips estate, and you can still feel that history today in the old oak avenues that line the holes. Founded in 1993, it has grown into a warm, welcoming club where families come to play and improve together.
The 18-hole parkland layout, par 71, gives you a lovely mix to enjoy. Some holes wind through mature woodland, where tall oaks frame the fairway and ask for a thoughtful tee shot. Others open up into wider, sunnier fairways with water features that add a little sparkle — and a fun challenge — to your round. It is a course that rewards good thinking as much as good swinging, which makes it a joy to learn on.
What I love most about Welschap is its real coaching heart. There is a full 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 and sharpen your skills. The club runs a dedicated junior programme, so young players are genuinely welcomed and encouraged. For beginners, juniors, and anyone keen to grow their game, this is a friendly and supportive place to be.
After your round, the clubhouse restaurant and terrace are perfect for relaxing with friends. Welschap is the kind of family-friendly club where golf feels like a day out, not just a game.
