Lochemse Course
Lochemse Golfclub
About this course
Lochemse Golfclub sits in the wooded countryside of Gelderland in the eastern Netherlands, near the town of Lochem. The course occupies terrain characteristic of this region, where rolling topography and mature forest create a parkland setting distinct from the links-style layouts found along the Dutch coast. The club was established in the mid-20th century and has developed into a well-regarded facility within the Netherlands' inland golfing landscape. The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and tree-lined corridors that define the property. Holes move through a mix of open and forested areas, with doglegs and strategic bunkering that reward accurate placement over pure distance. The design requires thoughtful club selection and course management, particularly where trees narrow landing zones or frame approach shots to elevated or contoured greens. Lochemse serves as a traditional member club with a focus on recreational golf within the regional community. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that reflects the understated character common to Dutch golf clubs outside the major championship venues. The course provides a representative example of parkland golf in the eastern Netherlands, where the emphasis remains on playability within a natural woodland setting rather than dramatic architectural features or tournament pedigree.
