If you are looking for a golf hotel Amsterdam golfers can reach without a long trip, the new Spaarnwoude Park Hotel is the obvious place to start. This four-star hotel sits in the middle of the Spaarnwoude recreation area, at a golf complex with 54 holes, so you sleep right next to the course. Its wellness area opened in October, as Golfers Magazine reports.
Golf hotel Amsterdam: what is new at Spaarnwoude
For a long time, Spaarnwoude was a place where you played a round and then drove home. With the opening of the Spaarnwoude Park Hotel, you can now turn a visit to the course into a longer stay.
The hotel has 137 rooms and is set in the heart of the recreation area. That makes it a good fit for a weekend with friends, a trip with your regular fourball, or a few days of walking to the first tee every morning instead of sitting in traffic.
One detail you might not expect: the hotel is gas-free. It runs on solar panels and its own energy system.
Why Spaarnwoude works for a golf break
The complex has 54 holes and ranks among the largest golf destinations in Europe. For a stay of several days, that is exactly what you want: enough golf that you are not playing the same loop over and over.
Spaarnwoude is often called the cradle of Dutch golf. Plenty of Dutch golfers hit their first balls there, and according to Golfers Magazine the course celebrates its fiftieth anniversary next year.
The clubhouse stays open to visitors as before. You do not need to be a hotel guest to have a drink at the course after your round. Staying at the hotel simply gives you more options.
Wellness and dining after your round
The wellness area opened in October and includes a heated indoor pool, a Finnish sauna, a steam room and a relaxation room. After eighteen holes in a stiff breeze, that is more than a nice extra.
From the wellness area you look out over the driving range, so you can watch other golfers grind on their swing while you let your own muscles recover.
For food, the hotel has two restaurants. The Brasserie covers lunch, drinks and dinner, while The MainCourse is built around shared dining. That second option suits groups well: you order together and settle who should have holed that short putt.
How to plan a multi-day golf trip near Amsterdam
A few days of golf and an overnight stay go most smoothly when you plan your tee times and your room together. A practical order:
- Pick your dates first and check which tee times are available.
- Book your room once your tee times are confirmed.
- Check what the course asks of visitors, such as a handicap or a dress code.
- In the winter months, keep frost in mind. It can close a course temporarily, so check on the morning itself whether your round is going ahead.
