Today, under a clear blue sky with a temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius, we played in Delft at Golfbaan Delfland. Just next to Rotterdam, so very easy for me to drive to, there is an oases rest and nice green fields. It is so close to Rotterdam, that, when you are on the driving range or on some holes, you can see the beautiful skyline of this amazing city.

The famous dutch golfcourse arcitect Gerard Jol made this beautiful 18 holes par 72 of 5835 meters. It has 4 holes par 5, 10 holes par 4 and 4 holes par 3. There is a lot of water and some bunkers here and there, but overall it is not a difficult course to play. Only the wind can play tricks with your ball if you don't watch out. Ok, we are high handicapers, but still i think that low handicapers won't find this course to exciting. So is it a waist of money to play here? Well no. The genaral atmosphere and holes combined make it a nice place to visit. And than you have hole 14. This is a long par 4 of 362 meters with a dogleg to the right. It is not really a dogleg but just a big water hazzard, so if you are a big hitter you can try to go for the flag. I tried it once and my ball took some swimming lessons. So i will play it safe and just except a few extra strokes.

I lost my ball! I hope she didn't make a mistakes.

What is also different is the driving range. It is for the most part a big lake so it is easy to se where your ball lands. I for sure won't hit my ball to the other side. There are in totall 56 spots, 28 on the 1st floor and 28 on the second. Two entances make it ease to find a free spot and for only € 2,- you get enough ball to warm up the muscles.

So all thing considered, Golfbaan Delfland is a nice place to visit if you stay in Rotterdam or The Hague. The greenfee's are normal, so are the prices in the restaurant. The service in the resaurant is outstanding.
