Golfbaan Waterland Amsterdam

Golfbaan Waterland lies in Amsterdam-Noord, on the Buikslotermeerdijk. Ten minutes from the city centre you are in a different world: the course is within Amsterdam, but in rural country between waterways and nature areas. By bike it is under half an hour from the centre.

The course

The Championship Course is an 18-hole A-status course that winds between the waterways: tricky holes along the water, good greens and testing approaches. The name Waterland refers to the area, but according to the club the course stays dry, which makes it one of the few in the region that can stay open almost all year. Since July 2021 it has had a new owner, whose aim is to make it the finest and friendliest golf course in Amsterdam.

Par 3 course and clubhouse

The 9-hole par 3 course has been qualifying since 2014. All you need is a local course permit, not a proficiency certificate or handicap 54. Don't underestimate it: the holes range from 60 to 145 metres. Members and non-members are both welcome, and there are early-bird and twilight rates. The clubhouse has a terrace overlooking the course and stays open in the evening.
