Golf Course “De Hoge Dijk”
“De Hoge Dijk” is an 18-hole competition course (PAR 71, 5755 meters), designed by the renowned golf course architect Joan Dudok van Heel. The first nine holes were inaugurated in 1990; the second nine holes have been ready for play since 1995.
The golf course is open to all golfers against payment of a green fee providing he/she has an official handicap.
The facilities consist of a driving range with 32 tees, a large putting green, a chipping and pitching green and two practice bunkers. Use of these facilities is free.

Borchland Amstelborgh
Lots of pretty good squash courts, as well as in- and outdoor tennis. It's cool to hit some balls at the (golf) driving range behind behind the building before squashing!

Amstelborgh/Borchland B.V.
The golf course has several advantages that might be disadvantages for others: Amstelborgh/Borchland is very easy to reach, by car 10-15 min. from the city center into direction Utrecht. Or by public transport to the stadium (Arena).
Prices are modest, the driving range is free(!) and balls are cheap. There are several chipping and pitching greens, not very big and - esp. on the weekend - a bit crowded.
The course has 9 holes (par 3 - total length 863 meter) and is open to everybody, not only for members. Equipment can be hired but the choice is not really great,
Openbare Golfbaan Spaarnwoude
The golfcourse Spaarnwoude, 25 min by car from city center, is a public course, also open for non-members and partly open even for absolute beginners.
Even though the course can be overcrowded on weekend, the atmosphere is more relaxed than on many other courses.
Over all Spaarnwoude offers six 9-holes courses of which 3 are open for beginners. Even advanced players will find a challange on the championship courses.
