I write
major because I suspect Colt was proud of this course, even if it isn't very well known-a hidden gem . The few reports on GCA have been very positive and so next time I'm in across the pond, I think a trip to Holland and Belgium is in order.
Jeroen Pit posted a link to these photos some time ago, I've just enlarged them and brought them over to GCA:
Beautifully contoured but subtle green at the 1st.
Par 3 3rd
4th green complex
General view at the 5th.
Lump in middle of 5th fairway. Would this survive today?
5th Green
Blind tee shot at 6th.
The landing area for the drive on the 6th. It appears to be an Alps type hole with only a drive down the right seeing past that "Alps" mound. Nice roll in the terrain! A bit like 10th at St Georges Hill?
Looking back from the 6th green (heavy zoom)
The 7th green complex
9th green
10th tee shot, an unusual quirky hole that could probably do with some tree trimming and added length?
Closer up on the 10th
10th green
11th
11th again
Great 13th. Interesting bunker placement.
The 15th
Closer up at 15th.
Raised 17th green.
Looks a fine, natural course to me. I want to see Colt's other heathland Dutch course Eindhoven, too.
PS
Asking anyone who's Dutch: is there a difference between Holland and The Netherlands? Something to do with Holland being a part of The Netherlands??
