Eindhovensche Golf was inaugurated in 1930 and the great Harry S. Colt routed the course through a dense forest a few kilometres to the south of Eindhoven.
The club was the brainchild of a certain Dr. Philips who was the brother of the founder of the Philips Electrical Company. Eindhoven has more than the forest as a hazard with plenty of water in the shape of streams and ponds and enough strategically placed bunkers. In many ways, Eindhoven is reminiscent of Surrey’s heath and heather courses, which is high praise indeed.
Holes are laid out in two huge clockwise loops that each return to the clubhouse – and what a charming building it is. With its thatched roof, it is one of the most picturesque clubhouses in European golf.
Host to many top championships, including six Dutch Opens between 1947 and 1970 and, more recently, the Dutch Ladies Open (2006-2009), Eindhovensche is a course for the connoisseur.
