Culturally interesting and charming, It is ALWAYS a great idea to try something new, somewhere new. You won’t be disappointed.

Southern Holland

There are plenty of reasons why you should go off-the-beaten path and play amazing golf courses in the Netherlands. The city of Eindhoven is one of them. You’d actually be surprised but Eindhoven is one of the oldest cities in the country, yet, probably the most modern, artistic and forward thinking city of all. The architectural contrast between the old and the new world is quite impressive. Eindhoven boasts many restaurants with cute outdoor terraces, shops and shopping malls, museums and a large football stadium. You could check out the Santa Catarina Church and/or visit some of the best breweries in town.

Another attraction in southern Holland is Nuenen, a charming village located near Eindhoven and former home to Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh. The artist was actually very active as a painter during his stay in Nuenen and this led to his first masterpiece, the Potato Eaters. The Van Gogh Museum in Nuenen is a destination on its own and a perfect day trip for art lovers. Explore the museum, check-out the fabulous statues dedicated to the artist and consider a roadtrip in search of the famous Van Gogh windmills and watermills. They still exist today and are now official Van Gogh monuments. Situated just north of Nuenen, De Roosdonck windmill can be seen in many of Vincent’s paintings and drawings, while the century-old watermills are located on the Dutch section of the River Dommel. The perfect cultural immersion in the Netherlands to us. For golf lovers, Southern Holland is home to Bernardus GC, a Kyle Philips’s masterpiece and future host of the 2026 Solheim Cup as well as the noteworthy Eindhovensche GC.
