Golfclub Sloten

Golfclub Sloten in Amsterdam, North Holland, is a 9-hole, par-29 golf course among water and trees, with narrow fairways at Sportpark Sloten.

Trees and ditches are the natural hazards at Golfbaan Sloten, and bunkers surround the greens. Water comes into play on almost every hole, and the narrow fairways at Golfclub Sloten reward accuracy rather than distance.

The round at Golfclub Sloten opens with a tee shot over water and between two trees on the 1st, then the 2nd plays back across the same water to a bunkered green. The 5th is the first of the dyke holes, with water to the left and right of the fairway. On the 6th, a 158-metre par 4, you first carry the water onto the dyke. The 7th, a 208-metre par 4, is the longest hole on the course. The 9th, a 154-metre par 3, is stroke index 1: trees make the flag hard to see from the men's tee, and it is the only hole with a separate ladies' tee.

Golfclub Sloten plays to par 29 over seven par 3s and two par 4s, measuring 1,371 metres from the yellow tees.
