One of the best in the Netherlands 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 16, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

* Teepads, baskets and fairways are all really well defined
* All baskets had a "next tee" arrow that was pretty accurate
* Course is relatively easy to follow (transition from 3-4 was a bit hard, and #8 to #9)
* Near the city center and the Zuidplein metro. About ~15 min walk to hole # 1 from the mtro, or you can start at hole #4 and it is ~8min (600m)
* Park was pretty empty, only had to wait on a few people with dogs (played on a Thursday morning)
* Holes were long enough for some challenge
* Good use of what little elevation there is in the park.
* O.B. and Mandos are clearly marked on the tee signs
* Plenty of parking if you bring a car or bike
* Hole #12 ends really close to #1

Cons:

* Only 12 holes
* Course doubles back on itself once or twice
* Transition from Hole #3 to #4 (across the water) was a bit confusing
* Hole #11 really needs to be trimmed a bit. Very easy to lose a disc on that hole.

Other Thoughts:

Super happy there is another course in the Netherlands and in Rotterdam where I live. I love Roel Langerak Park, but it is just too busy when the sun is shining.

This course clearly has had a lot of time and effort put into it. I'd say this is my favorite one that I have played in the Netherlands so far.

Update Oct 23rd: The park has trimmed up hole 11 significantly and it is much more accessible now. #8 has been trimmed as well and that has lowered the difficulty on that hole. Could also be the difference between playing in August and now end of October but it looked like there were quite a few bushes/trees taken down.
