Golfbaan Bentwoud

What Golfbaan Bentwoud does

Golfbaan Bentwoud is a privately held Dutch golf facility operator founded in 2011, headquartered in Benthuizen, South Holland, Netherlands. The company operates a 36-hole golf course comprising four 9-hole loops — a qualifying Par 3/4 course and three championship lusses (A, B, C) — augmented by illuminated putting greens, a seasonal outdoor grass range, and the largest TrackMan driving range in the Netherlands (44 covered, lit bays across two floors, 300+ meters in length). The flagship TrackMan facility opened on 8 May 2026 after a five-month construction project and includes a 20x6-meter indoor putting green designed by course architect Michiel van de Vaart.

The business operates a multi-revenue-stream model spanning greenfees (€23–€85/round), prepaid round cards and annual unlimited play subscriptions (€450–€1,795), a Golf Academy staffed by 10 PGA-certified professionals delivering lessons and structured courses, club fitting and repair at the Fittingcenter, and ancillary real estate such as the Panoramazaal (up to 150 guests) and Boardroom meeting venues. Hospitality is delivered through Brasserie ROEST, operated under partnership by Vermaat Groep, serving up to 250 guests daily. A 130-member business club (ZakelijkBentwoud, from €895/year) anchors B2B revenue, supplemented by corporate golf events, the Paul&Paul BusinessCup series, the INTO business Golf Cup, and charity events such as the &BEEK fundraiser for Stichting Prinses Máxima Centrum.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company website, TeeControl and ProAgenda booking platforms, and a 365-day on-site reception (08:00–20:00). Marketing channels include ANWB Golf Premium Partner status, Leading Courses listing, GEO Certified sustainability credentials, email newsletters, and social media. The company also accommodates the first official croquet field in the Netherlands in partnership with Croquet Vereniging Nederland, and a pro-golf travel program (Islantilla, November 2026) extends the brand beyond its physical footprint. Customer concentration is broadly distributed across individual golfers, with a small but anchored B2B layer through the business club and corporate events.
