Hosting Course

Royal Hague Golf & Country Club

The current course was designed in 1938, by the famous golf course architects Harry colt and C.H. Alison. Although Alison was responsible for most of the design, as evidenced by the slightly larger bunkers and more extreme nature, the course is still counted as one of the finest Colt designed courses in Europe.

The course was laid by Copijn of Groenekan.

History

The European Amateur Championship, established in 1986, is a prestigious annual 4-round stroke play event for elite male amateur golfers, held at various European venues each June. Attracting top global talent, it is highly regarded by the World Amateur Golf Ranking. 

 

The winner receives an invitation to The Open Championship, and top-5 finishers traditionally gain entry to The Open Final Qualifying. In 2023, it served as a final qualifier for the inaugural Open Amateur Series. José Luis Ballester won the 2023 championship with a record 21-under-par, becoming the first Spanish champion since Sergio Garcia in 1995.
