Golfpark De Loonsche Duynen

What Golfpark De Loonsche Duynen does

Golfpark De Loonsche Duynen is one of 15 golf parks operated by Hollandsche Golfclub, the trading name of the Dutch private company Hollandsche Golfbaan Exploitatiemaatschappij (HGE), headquartered in Almkerk. The network spans 9-hole and 18-hole courses across the Netherlands (including Almkerk, Wijchen near Nijmegen, Voorst near Apeldoorn, and 's Hertogenbosch) and serves individual recreational golfers, beginners, corporate groups, and casual visitors. The company positions itself as an accessible, friendly alternative to traditional private Dutch golf clubs, with 'eerlijke tarieven' (fair rates) and a culture of 'gezelligheid' supported by more than 350 volunteers who organize club activities and competitions.

The core technology is the HGC Web App, a digital platform that lets members and greenfee players book start times, manage credit balances, and access club services across all 15 parks. Underpinning this is a credit-based play rights system in which members purchase credits (with volume discounts) usable at any park in the network, alongside local play rights for specific locations (Land van Thorn, De Breuninkhof). Driving ranges use third-party Toptracer technology for shot tracking, and the company maintains affiliations with PGA Holland, the Nederlandse Greenkeepers Associatie (NGA), and the Koninklijke Nederlandse Golf Federatie (NGF), enabling official handicap registration and standardized course quality.

The business model combines recurring subscription revenue (annual play rights, local and full-network tiers), transaction-based greenfee revenue, professional services revenue from the Golfschool (Golfstart beginner programs, themalessen, clinics, trial lessons), transaction fees from group arrangements and corporate events, and ancillary food and beverage revenue from on-site brasserie restaurants at each park. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the HGC Web App, website, phone, and on-site reception, supplemented by community-led engagement through volunteer-driven events, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and an email newsletter.

Direct peers

• BurgGolf: BurgGolf is a Dutch multi-course golf operator running several 9- and 18-hole courses. It is the closest direct peer to Hollandsche Golfclub in terms of operating a network of public-access Dutch golf parks with membership-style access.
• Golfclub Amelisweerd: Established Dutch golf club near Utrecht offering 18-hole course, clubhouse, and member services. Directly comparable to an HGC park in target market, member-style access, and Dutch leisure golfer customer profile.
• Golfclub Broekpolder: Dutch golf club in the Randstad region offering 18-hole course and member facilities. Comparable as a Dutch single-course competitor targeting the same recreational golfer, corporate event, and beginner segments.
• The Dutch (National Golf Club): Premium Dutch golf club designed by Colin Montgomerie near Amsterdam. Comparable to the upper end of the HGC network in terms of Dutch market positioning, while competing on brand prestige rather than multi-park network value.
• De Texelse Golfclub: A Dutch golf course operator on Texel offering 9- and 18-hole layouts with a clubhouse and F&B. Comparable to HGC's individual park products (e.g., Golfpark De Loonsche Duynen) in format and customer base, though operating as a single course rather than a network.
• Golf & Country Club Liemeer: Dutch country club operating an 18-hole course plus short course and practice facilities. Comparable to a single HGC park in scale and offering mix (course, F&B, lessons), competing for the same Dutch recreational golfer segment.

Broad incumbents

• Troon Golf: Global third-party golf course management and club operator with hundreds of facilities worldwide. Comparable as a multi-course operator with management contracts, F&B, and event-driven revenue, though at substantially larger scale and on a different ownership model.
• American Golf (UK): UK-based multi-course golf operator and retailer running a large network of golf clubs, ranges, and retail outlets. Comparable as a multi-course club-and-retail operator with subscription/access products, but at significantly larger scale and UK-focused.

Emerging players

• Topgolf: Entertainment-golf concept combining tech-enabled driving ranges with F&B and social venues. Comparable in its use of Toptracer-style range technology and F&B monetization, but differentiated by a tech-led entertainment positioning rather than traditional course play.

Others

• Greenfee365: Online tee-time booking and greenfee aggregator serving Dutch and European golfers. Comparable as an enabling technology/distribution layer in Dutch golf, overlapping with HGC's digital booking (HGC Web App) and greenfee channels.
