About Bernardus

Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, North Brabant, is an 18-hole, par-72 heathland course designed by the American golf architect Kyle Phillips.

Kyle Phillips, whose other designs include Kingsbarns in Scotland and Yas Links in Abu Dhabi, laid out Bernardus Golf on an ancient sandy plain. Dunes, heather and gorse form the backdrop. The bunkers stand out: large and ragged-edged, they are cut into low ridges along the fairways and around the greens.

Water comes into play on several holes at Bernardus Golf, above all on the front nine, where lakes feature on the 2nd, 7th and 8th. The 2nd is a 395-metre par 4 from the black tees and stroke index 1, the hardest hole on the card. The 7th is a 530-metre par 5, and the 8th a par 3 of 79 to 146 metres.

Bernardus Golf lies on the Deutersestraat in Cromvoirt, south-west of 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). The Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park begins just west of the course.

Bernardus Golf opened in 2018, and from 2021 to 2023 it hosted the Dutch national open three times: as the Dutch Open in 2021 and 2022, and as the KLM Open in 2023. In September 2026 Europe and the United States played the Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf, and earlier that week the course staged the PING Junior Solheim Cup.

Bernardus Golf has four par 3s, ten par 4s and four par 5s. It plays 6,440 metres from the white tees and 5,996 metres from the yellow tees. Men face a course rating of 77.3 and a slope of 153 from the black tees, the longest on the course, and 72.9 and 139 from the yellow tees. Women playing from the red tees have a course rating of 74.1 and a slope of 141. The front nine can also be played on its own as a par-36 loop.

Can visitors play Bernardus Golf? Yes. Green fee players are welcome with a Day Membership, which allows unlimited golf for a full day and access to all the facilities. Book your first tee time in advance.
