Leeuwarder / De Groene Ster

Overview: Located in the lush recreational heart of Friesland, Leeuwarder Golfclub De Groene Ster is a spirited and strategic parkland gem that celebrates the water-rich heritage of the north. Designed by Gerard Jol, the course snakes through the "De Groene Ster" nature area, characterized by its significant water hazards and a layout that demands tactical precision through its well-wooded corridors. With its par-72 championship test and a rhythm of play that prizes accuracy over raw power, the course offers a serene and nature-focused adventure that feels deeply rooted in the tranquil Frisian landscape.

Did You Know? True to its name ("The Green Star"), the club is an environmental leader in the region, maintaining a series of protected "nature pockets" on the property that support local owl and meadow-bird populations. The course was specifically designed to serve as an ecological bridge between the surrounding Frisian pastures and the larger recreation area, making every round a walk through a vibrant and high-quality biodiverse sanctuary.
