Why the Solheim Cup?
The Solheim Cup is one of the highlights of the golfing calendar. Mirroring the Ryder Cup format, it’s a biennial clash that has become the pinnacle of the women’s game: three days of match play drama that combine sporting rivalry with team spirit like no other. Every putt is magnified, every hole a battle, and the atmosphere is as passionate as anything in golf.
In 2026, the Netherlands will host the event for the very first time, with Bernardus Golf taking centre stage. It’s a historic occasion, bringing the world’s most prestigious women’s team competition to Dutch soil, and all within striking distance of one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals.
How to spectate
The golf comes first when it comes to the Solheim Cup, and at Bernardus Golf, a course peppered with perilous water hazards and challenging green complexes, you’ll see the very best take on one of the finest tracks in the Netherlands. Set among the dramatic sand dunes, forests and heathlands of the Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park, the course promises spectacular surroundings and an unmissable spectacle on a genuine Championship test.
For those seeking a more elevated experience, Bernardus is perfectly placed to provide hospitality within their Clubhouse, with Michelin-starred cuisine and curated drinks by Noble Kitchen. At the very heart of the event and complete with exceptional views of the 7th green, 16th green and 17th tee, this experience sees gastronomy blend seamlessly with golfing theatre, where wine is perfectly paired with watching the world’s best taking on some of the Netherlands’ most dramatic closing holes.

A more informal but equally immersive way to experience the Solheim Cup, The Tap Inn offers a dynamic hospitality alternative. Positioned on the 15th Green with sweeping views across the 16th Tee and 17th Green, this open-air venue combines high energy with elevated comfort. Guests enjoy all-inclusive hospitality throughout the day — from continental breakfast and gourmet lunch to afternoon snacks and a full bar service until the final putt drops. It’s a more relaxed setting, without compromising on access or atmosphere.
What to do
Away from the action, with Amsterdam on your doorstep, the opportunities for discovery are thoughtfully curated. Drift along the canals aboard a private salon boat, past gabled houses and centuries of maritime history; explore cultural landmarks such as the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum; or journey to Zaanse Schans, where windmills still turn and traditional Dutch craftsmanship endures.
For those inclined, the city’s culinary landscape offers remarkable possibilities, from sky-high dining at Ciel Bleu to the intimate elegance of Vinkeles, both holding two Michelin stars. Hosted experiences may include private cooking sessions with celebrated chefs, exclusive after-hours access to sold-out exhibitions, or a romantic carriage ride along the Vecht River, culminating in a six-course tasting menu at De Nederlanden.
Where to stay
Few addresses capture the spirit of Amsterdam quite like the five-star Rosewood Amsterdam, a celebration of Dutch excellence. Honouring the stories of its past, the former Palace of Justice is reborn, and situated right on UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals, it is an invitation to immerse yourself in the opportunities of the city beyond.
With its central location, guests are within easy reach of Amsterdam’s world-renowned dining scene and cultural treasures – an experience made all the more special during an event of this calibre.
Alternatively, The Dylan Amsterdam offers a more intimate retreat, set within a Golden-Age canal-side theatre on the Keizersgracht. With just forty rooms, each individually designed, it blends minimalist elegance with quiet historic character. From canal-view suites to the two-Michelin-starred Vinkeles and serene courtyard arrival, The Dylan is ideal for those seeking understated refinement in the heart of the city.
Where to play
The Dutch golf scene is richer than one might expect, boasting a wealth of courses that are well worth a visit for every golfer.
Utrecht Golf Club 'De Pan' is a prime example. Designed by Harry Colt in 1927, it’s a distinguished heathland layout set within the forests near Utrecht, where undulating fairways, strategic bunkering and vibrant purple heather create a setting both serene and exacting.
Not far away, Kennemer Golf & Country Club offers a different kind of challenge. Also a Colt design, established in 1910, its classic links routing winds through the coastal dunes of Zandvoort. With ever-shifting winds and natural contours, it rewards both shot-making and a certain degree of imagination.
