The original 9-hole course at Geijsteren Golf and Country Club was a Donald Steel and Frank Pennink production that made its golfing debut in 1974. When more land became available, the layout was extended in two phases to a full 18 holes.
Four new holes were added in 1983, followed by an additional “five water holes” when the course extension was completed two years later. In more recent times, Michiel van der Vaart of Jol Golf Design has been engaged in renovation work here.
Routed through woodland, the holes at Geijsteren are handsomely framed by mature trees lining either side of the playing corridors and that fairway definition holds true until the 14th, where water hazards then present the greatest challenge for the remainder of the round.
The course played an important part in the development of professional golf in the Netherlands, hosting the first national match play championships in 1988, as all tournaments in the country had been held as stroke play events until then.
