Overview
Rosendaelsche Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs in the Netherlands (formed in 1895) and its members
originally played between the Rosendael manor and the Velpse Geërfden grounds in the neighbourhood of
Emmapiramide. In 1908, the club moved to Arnhem but, despite the relocation, the name of Rosendaelsche
Golf Club was retained.
The landowner was Mr A.A. Delcourt van Krimpen and his course was described in 1939 as being laid out “on
beautifully undulating terrain with high rising trees and soft green fairways.” It is indeed a wonderful woodland
setting within Valkenhuizen Forest, on the fringe of the De Hoge Veluwe National Park.
English architect Frank Pennink extended the course in the mid70s to an 18hole layout, a few years before
the new clubhouse was built. Shortly after that, Bernard Langer established a course record that still stands
on his way to winning the Dutch Open in 1984.

The club motto of ‘qui va adroit ne manque’ translates to English as “who goes straight doesn’t miss” – very
appropriate for a course where beech, birch and pine treelined fairways have to be negotiated from start to
finish!
Rosendaelsche is heathland golf at its very best, played over gently undulating forested terrain with heatherclad
ridges creating the odd semiblind tee shot or approach shot. The holes seem to get stronger as the
round progresses, particularly so between the long, tight, par four 14th and the downhill, par three 16th.
