Nederlands Golfmuseum: the sport in historical perspective

The Nederlands Golfmuseum (Dutch Golf Museum) on Landgoed Bleijenbeek in Afferden covers the development of golf in the Low Countries. You do not need to be a golfer yourself to look at the sport as a subject of cultural history.

Plan your visit ↗

A familiar game, new questions

Start with the explanation of the origins and development of the game. Which changes does the collection make visible? Let the displays show the difference between a general tradition of play and a specific object or practice.

Museum and estate

The location next to a golf course makes a combination possible, but a museum visit and playing golf are separate activities. A tee time for the course must be arranged separately. The pavilion can offer a break if you want to extend your visit to the estate.

Reception first

Report to reception on arrival. Museum hours start early and end earlier than some other activities on the estate. Check current public holiday changes; an old closing date does not give a complete overview for the coming year.

Before you go

Report to reception and check current public holidays; book any golf tee time separately.
