Semslanden Golf Club

Overview: Located in the rugged and wind-swept landscape of Gasselternijveen, Semslanden Golf Club is a spirited parkland course that captures the rustic charm of Drenthe. Originally designed by Eschauzier & Thate in 1989 and later expanded by Gerard Jol, the 18-hole championship layout is defined by its wide fairways, strategic water hazards, and large, undulating greens that require constant tactical adjustment. It offers a rhythmic and high-quality challenge that rewards power and confident navigation of the northern winds, providing a serene and community-focused environment that serves as a vital hub for golfers in the northern Netherlands.

Did You Know? The club is a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary" and has been a leader in the region for its "integrated pest management" program, which uses natural methods to maintain its fairways. This commitment to the soil of Drenthe has made Semslanden a model for sustainable golf in the north, where the fairways are home to a vibrant and healthy population of local insect and bird life.
