Another fan is Adam Lawrence, head editor of the influential Golf Architecture Magazine, for whom Royal Hague ranks as the best golf course on the continent together with iconic Morfontaine. He writes: "Kennemer and Noordwijk are both terrific, but Royal Hague has better terrain and greens and more interesting golf. And now, after an extensive renovation led by Dutch architect Frank Pont, it is better than ever." And: "The new 17th green typifies Pont’s work at Royal Hague: he has taken a masterpiece, and given it a subtle, sympathetic facelift, and made it better still. "

All this praise has also not gone unnoticed at Golf World, where in its latest Continental European rankings Royal Hague was the highest ranked Dutch course, listed in third spot, making a spectacular and unprecedented jump of 13 spots in the rankings.

After our succesful restoration of Royal Hague's greens and bunkers, we now continue with a multi-year program of improving the many tees of this beautiful links course. In past years the tees on 14 holes have been renovated, and in the next few years we hope to finish renovating the tees on the final 4 holes. We will also rebuild the greensurrounds of hole 18 during this period, bringing it more in line with the other green complexes.
