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.
