Golfbaan Stippelberg

What Golfbaan Stippelberg does

Golfbaan Stippelberg operates a 27-hole golf complex spanning over 90 hectares in Gemert-Bakel, North Brabant, Netherlands, founded in 2006 and fully operational since March 2011. The facility comprises an 18-hole Championship Course (6,088 meters, par-72 with four par-5s, nine par-4s, and five par-3s) and a 9-hole Executive Course (par-3/4, approximately 1,885 meters), plus driving range, two practice greens, two approach greens with bunker complexes, and a clubhouse with a seven-days-a-week brasserie. The course was designed by Michiel van der Vaart in collaboration with Gerard Jol and Philip Spogard of Jol Golf Design, featuring inland-links character with sand dunes ("stippels"), natural water hazards fed by the Snelle Loop and Esperloop streams, and indigenous vegetation.

The underlying technology stack is built around the E-Golf4U tee-time and member management platform with a proprietary teetime.golfbaan-stippelberg.com booking engine and World Handicap System (WHS) compliant scoring infrastructure integrated with NGF/Golf.nl digital systems. The property is governed by Beheerstichting Golfbaan Stippelberg (a management foundation), with a separate Golfclub Stippelberg association for member representation — a common dual-structure model for Dutch golf clubs. The facility serves approximately 1,466 registered members, recreational and competitive golfers, youth/juniors, business/corporate clients (28+ named business members), and international tournament professionals via the annual Stippelberg Open ProGolf Tour.

Revenue is generated across seven identified streams: annual memberships (A-membership €1,340, B-membership €670, youth €175, junior €480-720), greenfees (Championship 18 holes €82.50, Executive 18 holes €65), Golf & Eat packages (€92.50-€115), equipment rental (handicarts €11, buggies €8.50-€30), brasserie F&B, Business Club sponsorship and corporate membership, and outside/member-guest greenfee sales. Day-to-day operations are managed by a 14-employee team led by statutory director Dorine Daemen, with extensive volunteer committees (Matchplay, Strokeplay, Ladies, Seniors, NGF Competitie, Jeugd, etc.) supporting club activities.

Multiple tiers: A-membership (full 27-hole access, €1,340/year), B-membership (Executive Course focus, €670/year), Youth (ages 12-21, €175/year), Junior (ages 22-29, €480/year). Association fees and bar fees are additional recurring charges. This is the core recurring revenue base of the club.
3. Golf & Dining Packages: Bundled Golf & Eat packages ranging from Birdie (€92.50) to Albatross (€115) combining greenfee with food and beverage. Golf clinics are also offered from €25.75 per person (minimum 8 persons, 1 hour).
4. Equipment Rental: Rental of handicarts (€11 per round), Stippel buggies (€8.50-9.50), trollies (€4.50), and golf bags (€10-13) generates ancillary revenue from visiting players and members without their own equipment.
5. Brasserie / Restaurant: On-site brasserie operating 7 days per week, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a focus on local Brabant cuisine. The brasserie generates F&B revenue from members, day visitors, and event attendees. A proprietary coffee blend ('De koffie die nooit verveelt') is also sold.

Regional players

• Golfclub Niep: German reciprocal partner; comparable 18-hole golf club, but operating in a different national market with similar member-recognition and greenfee structure.
• Golf de Durbuy: Belgian reciprocal partner across the border; similar scale and resort-style golf operation, but serving a different primary geography while enabling reciprocal member play.

Others

• NGF (Nederlandse Golf Federatie): National federation and ecosystem partner rather than a competitor; relevant because it sets handicap, competition, and tournament infrastructure (WHS, NGF competitions, Dutch Swing) that anchors Stippelberg's value proposition.

Direct peers

• Goyer Golf & Country Club: Established Dutch golf club with similar membership and event-driven model; comparable in terms of NGF competition participation and brasserie-style clubhouse offering.
• Golfbaan de Swinkelsche: Third member of 'De Nieuwe Drie' Stay & Play partnership; similar Dutch golf facility offering comparable championship-course product and membership structure.
• Golfclub Haviksoord: Reciprocal greenfee partner; comparable Dutch golf facility with similar membership tiers and reciprocal pricing structure, providing direct substitution risk for local golfers.
• DGC de Gelpenberg: Third Dutch Swing Pro Golf Tour co-host; comparable Dutch golf course in scale, position, and membership/day-play hybrid model.
• Golfbaan Westwoud: Co-host of the Dutch Swing Pro Golf Tour alongside Stippelberg; similar Dutch pay-and-play / membership golf facility, making it a direct comparable in size, business model, and customer mix.
• Golfbaan het Woold: Part of 'De Nieuwe Drie' Stay & Play partnership with Stippelberg; comparable 18-hole Dutch course in Southeast Brabant serving a similar regional recreational and competitive golfer base.

Broad incumbents

• The Duke Club: Larger, more premium Dutch golf facility in North Brabant; broader and more upscale offering including high-end hospitality, competing for the same corporate and affluent golfer segment.
