About this course
Golfclub De Dommel is located in St. Michielgestel in the Noord-Brabant province of the southern Netherlands, approximately fifteen kilometers northeast of Tilburg. The course takes its name from the Dommel River, which flows through this region of sandy soils and mixed woodland characteristic of the Brabant landscape. The club was established in the mid-1980s during a period of golf course development in the Netherlands, and the layout reflects the natural terrain of the area with its modest elevation changes and forested corridors. The course routing works through pine and deciduous woodland, with fairways carved from the forest and several holes playing along more open stretches. Water features appear on multiple holes, typical of Dutch course design where drainage and water management shape the playing characteristics. The sandy subsoil provides good drainage and allows for firm conditions during dry periods, while the tree-lined nature of many holes demands accuracy from the tee. De Dommel serves as a regional facility for golfers in Noord-Brabant, offering a parkland experience distinct from the links-style courses found along the Dutch coast. The club maintains a membership base drawn from the surrounding towns and villages of the Brabant region. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to a range of abilities, with the wooded setting and water hazards creating the primary strategic considerations for players navigating the layout.
