Reader: Amsterdam's Waterlandse Golf Club a Dutch treat

Waterlandse Golf Club was a very hard golf course. I have played here only twice in six years. The first time it was in poor condition but the second time, which was recently, it was in great condition. I can't believe its par of 70, as I am a 3 handicap and I got nowhere near my playing handicap - and I played well that day. The course layout is a real test of golf!

Let me give you some advice if you're playing here for the first time: Take plenty of golf balls! Water comes into play on every hole! This is a real hidden gem, as it so close to the Amsterdam city center and it was quiet. I had no problems booking a tee time, and the staff were friendly. Overall rating 8/10. Next time I am in Holland i will be back to play this one again!
