Golfbaan Catharinenburg

What Golfbaan Catharinenburg does

Golfbaan Catharinenburg operates an 18-hole and par-3 golf facility on Goeree-Overflakkee island in the Netherlands, located in Melissant. The venue spans approximately 30 hectares and comprises a driving range, putting and chipping greens, a clubhouse with restaurant, golf shop, and on-site B&B (B&B Catharinenburg). It serves local members, regional green-fee players, second-home owners, tourists, corporate and group event bookings, and stay-over lodging guests.

The club generates revenue across multiple streams: green fees, annual play-rights and subscriptions (including the Ver 65 tier targeting second-home owners aged 65+), food and beverage, retail pro-shop sales, lessons delivered through affiliated golf professionals, corporate and private events, equipment rental, and B&B lodging. It is family-owned, operated as a for-profit private company with 11-50 employees, and has operational linkages via membership in the SGNL network and an associated-club relationship with Golfclub Roxenisse.

The business model is that of a destination regional golf course, combining recurring membership/play-right revenue with seasonal green-fee traffic and ancillary hospitality income. There is no public disclosure of revenue, funding, M&A activity, or AI/digital capabilities, and the operation presents as a stable, mature small business with a multi-decade operating history.
