Ullerberg Golf Course
Leuvenum, Netherlands
The 2022 edition of the Dutch Open is scheduled again for the historic, private, family owned golf course – The Ullerberg. The competitors will play for the Waller trophy, a beautiful silver cup presented by the Waller family, who built and have owned the course since 1923.
The course is unique in the world. The playing surfaces are shortly mown heather with only the tees, greens and aprons being grass; the rough is thick unyielding heather that must be avoided at all costs.
Virtually unchanged since it was laid out by Dutch architect and former Dutch Open winner Gerry del Court van Krimpen, the course still has classic cross bunkers that are real hazards, unraked and rough looking; small greens and grass/heather bunkers close to the greens. To sum up, a perfect location for hickory golf. The course is set in beautiful woodland area that is dissected by heather fields. The area is a wildlife haven with deer and thousands of wild boar roaming over the course (only at night!).
The championship is organized by the Waller family and by Iain Forrester (hickoryclubs.eu).
