A links course by the sea
Noordwijkse Golfclub sits right on the North Sea coast, inside the protected Natura 2000 dune landscape of Kennemerland-Zuid. This is real dune golf: rolling sandy hills, soft dune grasses, and wide open views that stretch toward the water. The club was founded in 1915, so it carries more than a century of golfing history with quiet pride.
The 18-hole course was shaped by Frank Pennink, of the famous design firm Cotton, Pennink, Lawrie & Co, with later work by Paul de Jong. They used the natural land beautifully. The fairways flow between the dunes, and every hole feels like part of the landscape, not built on top of it. This is why golfers speak of Noordwijk with so much respect.
It is also a course with a big reputation. Noordwijkse hosted the Dutch Open nine times between 1978 and 2001 — a true championship test that has welcomed the best players in the country. When you walk these fairways, you are walking where champions once played.
Best for golfers who already have their handicap and want to feel the magic of classic links golf. Juniors are warmly welcome here too, with a junior program that helps young players grow. If you dream of playing this kind of course one day, a little preparation makes the experience so much sweeter.

Play it with confidence
A dune course by the sea is a fine experiences in golf — and also among the more honest. The wind, the firm fairways, and the natural shapes ask you to think and to trust your swing. That is exactly where a few lessons make a real difference.
Together we can work on the skills that links golf rewards: a steady, repeatable swing, smart shots that stay low under the wind, clean contact from firm ground, and a confident short game around the greens. When you feel ready, a course like Noordwijk becomes pure joy instead of a worry.
I teach all ages and levels — beginners, juniors, and players who want to sharpen up before a special round. I speak Dutch, English, Ukrainian and Russian, so you can always learn in the language that feels easiest for you. My home is at Chi Chi Golf in Utrecht and Golfschool Hoenderdaal in Driebergen, where we build your game step by step in a relaxed, friendly way.
Come and learn with me, and let’s get you ready to enjoy the coast, the dunes, and the game you love. Book a lesson with Marina Romanik today — and let’s make your golf more fun.
