Het Rijk van Nunspeet (North & East)
Nunspeet, Gelderland
- AddressPlesmanlaan 30, 8072 PT Nunspeet, Netherlands
Golf architect Paul Rolin has, over many years, created plenty of new courses in his native Belgium and neighbouring France, including Royal Waterloo (Le Lion) and Hardelot (Les Dunes). He’s also credited with several Dutch designs, the best of which is the 27-hole layout here at Nunspeet.
It’s one of four golf complexes in the Netherlands that operate under the banner of “The Empire” (along with the 45 holes at Nijmegen, 18 holes in Margraten and 27 holes at Sybrook) and its tight, tree-lined holes are laid out within woodland to the south of the small market town of Nunspeet.
The facility opened at the end of the 1980s, once three 9-hole circuits had been carved from the forested landscape, and it’s generally accepted that the North and East nines comprise the premier 18-hole layout, with each of those loops ending on a large double green beside the clubhouse.
Don’t dismiss the South nine out of hand, though – especially if it’s only because you think some of the holes might be a little noisier due to their proximity to the A28 motorway – as it has its fair share of outstanding holes, none more so than the closing par five which has water in play all the way up the right side of the fairway.
