Now that the golf course access restrictions have changed it's easier to play if you aren't a member of a certain club. There are a number of golf courses in the Veluwe, click here for an overview.

 

Pitch&Putt

Pitch&Putt is an amateur sport, similar to golf but organized as an independent sport, played and developed mainly in Ireland since the 1940s. The maximum length of hole for international competitions is defined up to 90 metres (with a total length of maximum 1,200 metres) and the players may only use two irons and a putter. The game is played from raised artificial teeing surfaces using a tee and it has its own handicap system.

 

The distances are, in some cases, somewhat different in every country as far as local competitions are concerned. Nevertheless for international competitions, compromise rules apply as per the Definition section - International Pitch and Putt defined. In all cases Pitch and Putt has its own handicap system and applies the Rules of the Royal & Ancient St. Andrew's with the exceptions that are specifically approved in each country.
