Set to host the Solheim Cup in September—the first time this iconic event comes to the Netherlands—Bernardus Golf in Noord-Brabant offers The Bernardus Experience: a seamless fusion of championship golf, Michelin-starred dining, and boutique on-course lodging.

Here, every detail is designed to elevate a day on the course into a full luxury retreat.

Play uninterrupted on a Kyle Phillips-designed championship course, hone your game at world-class practice facilities, then step straight into Noble Kitchen, the venue’s Michelin-starred restaurant, for a refined six-course dinner.

Stay in the intimate Bernardus Lodge, where modern design, privacy, and immediate access to the first tee make your experience effortless.

Beyond golf, the estate’s wellness and leisure offerings—including a gym, sauna, hammam, tennis, and seasonal heated pool—ensure that non-golfing partners are equally indulged.

The serene natural setting, combined with proximity to cultural highlights and international airports, makes Bernardus a rare combination of accessibility and escape.

Why Bernardus is truly unique:
  • Complete “Play, Eat & Stay” immersion – everything on-site, perfectly integrated.
  • Exclusive on-course accommodation – wake up steps from the first tee in a private, boutique lodge.
  • Championship-standard golf and practice facilities – ideal for enthusiasts seeking elite-level conditioning.
  • Michelin-starred dining – precision and atmosphere extend from the course to the table.
  • Wellness and lifestyle amenities – leisure and indulgence for golfers and companions alike.
  • International prestige – host of the Solheim Cup and PING Junior Solheim Cup, a defining week in women’s golf.

The Bernardus Experience is for those who seek more than a round of golf—discerning travelers who value luxury, precision, and the seamless integration of sport, fine dining, and relaxation.

What makes Bernardus Experience stand out?

Bernardus Experience is not just a golf package—it is a luxury lifestyle destination. It combines:

True On-Course Immersion
  • Guests stay directly on the championship course at Bernardus Lodge, offering immediate access to the first tee—many competitors place accommodations off-site or a short drive away.
  • Staying on-course turns the golf day into a continuous, effortless experience, from morning tee-off to evening unwind.
Championship-Level Golf Facilities
  • Designed by Kyle Phillips, the course has hosted the DP World Tour Dutch Open multiple times and is the Solheim Cup venue, ensuring elite conditioning, presentation, and challenge.
  • Access to comprehensive practice facilities (driving range, short-game areas, premium teaching zones) is included, whereas many competitor packages offer only partial access.
Michelin-Star Dining On-Site
  • Noble Kitchen, the on-site Michelin-star restaurant, provides a six-course gourmet experience immediately after play, rather than requiring travel off-site or offering only casual dining.
  • The combination of course-to-table timing and high culinary standards is rare in similar “golf & stay” packages.

Integrated Luxury and Wellness
  • Bernardus Lodge offers boutique rooms with privacy and direct access to the course, paired with wellness facilities (gym, sauna, hammam, tennis, heated pool).
  • Non-golfing partners are fully catered for, with optional personalized experiences like massages or private golf lessons. Many competitor packages focus solely on golfers.
International Prestige and Timing
  • Bernardus is the first Dutch venue to host the Solheim Cup, also hosting the PING Junior Solheim Cup, giving guests a rare chance to experience a world-class golf event in situ.
  • This elevates the experience from a standard golf getaway to a globally significant, once-in-a-lifetime event destination.
Seamless Play-Eat-Stay Philosophy
  • Bernardus doesn’t just offer separate golf, lodging, and dining options; it orchestrates the day so the transition between each is effortless.
  • This creates a complete, immersive retreat where guests can focus entirely on relaxation, sport, and indulgence—a level of integration few competitors achieve.
