The Heuvelrug (Hillside) and Heide (Heather) nines – also known as the B & C loops – form the course of first choice at Golf Club Anderstein but the Vallei (Valley) nine should not be dismissed at this impressive 27-hole facility outside the small town of Maarn.

Anderstein (B & C)
Golfclub Anderstein was formed in 1986 and the 27-hole golf facility is set out across 250 acres of the Anderstein estate (owned by the Van Beuningen family), located half an hour’s drive to the east of Utrecht.
The club came about when Brothers Hein and Frederik Van Beuningen decided to redevelop some farmland on their property and build a 9-hole golf course. A small shack served as a clubhouse before the old farm with cow sheds was renovated into the current attractive clubhouse.
The original layout consisted of some holes in the forest and some on the meadows and most of these holes can still be found in the current Valley (A) loop. In 1992, an additional nine holes were added to the design of Jol and Roel Van Aalderen.
Three years later, the layout expanded again with a third nine opening on 15th May 2005 and this is the premier 18-hole course that’s in operation today, offering a pleasant mix of woodland and parkland golf. The B & C loops extend to just over 6,400 metres, playing to a par of 73.
