About Golf & Country Club Lauswolt

Golf & Country Club Lauswolt in Beetsterzwaag, Friesland, is an 18-hole, par-73 woodland and stream-valley course by Frank Pennink and Donald Steel.

Golf & Country Club Lauswolt was the first Frisian golf club. Frank Pennink designed the original nine holes, which opened in 1966, and Donald Steel extended Lauswolt to 18 holes in the 1990s. Martin Ebert of Mackenzie & Ebert later updated the course.

Lauswolt lies on the estate of the same name, on the Van Harinxmaweg in Beetsterzwaag, just south of Drachten, and covers about 100 hectares of Frisian woodland. The club describes its landscape as parkland, heathy birch woods and a stream valley. Where Lauswolt borders the Koningsdiep, the outer holes open up and bring water into play; at holes 4 and 5 the meadow beyond the Koningsdiep is out of bounds.

Lauswolt's 18 holes form two loops of nine, each returning to the clubhouse: the first nine is par 36, the second par 37. The par of 73 is made up of nine par 4s, five par 5s and four par 3s, and a full round is a walk of about 10 kilometres. The 1st is a 461-metre par 5 from the white tees, and the club describes its opening tee shot, to a relatively narrow fairway, as always intimidating.

How demanding is Lauswolt? From the white tees the course measures 6,239 metres, with a men's course rating of 74.5 and a slope of 140. From the yellow tees (5,895 metres) men play to a rating of 72.6 and a slope of 130. Women playing the red tees (4,902 metres) have a course rating of 72.7 and a slope of 123. The stroke index ranks the 3rd and 13th as the hardest holes: par 4s of 408 and 410 metres from the whites.
