Netherlands Hosts 2026 Solheim Cup at Cleverly Designed Venue
The Netherlands is set to host the 2026 Solheim Cup, with the golfing action taking place at Bernardus Golf from the 7th to the 13th of September. This marks the first time the event will be held in the Netherlands, and the excitement is expected to reach an all-time high.
Located about an hour's train ride from Den Bosch Station, Amsterdam serves as a convenient base for those planning to attend the tournament. The city offers a variety of cultural and historical attractions, including the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House. For those seeking a more tranquil base, Oisterwijk, known for its natural beauty, is another good option, located just 10 miles from Bernardus Golf.
Accommodation in Utrecht is another charming alternative, with boutique hotels, canals, and cosy bars and restaurants. Utrecht is also a short train ride away from the golf course.
Bernardus Golf, the venue for the Solheim Cup, is a heathland course that has previously hosted the Dutch Open and KLM Open. The par-4 1st hole is one of the friendliest holes, offering plenty of birdie opportunities, while the par-5 18th hole is the most challenging and could present a significant obstacle if matches reach it.
The Solheim Cup is a golf tournament characterized by a 'us versus them' atmosphere, raw emotion, and patriotism. The event promises to be a head-to-head dynamic, crowd engagement, and camaraderie that fans love. To accommodate the thousands of expected fans, shuttle buses will be available for those who prefer not to cycle, although the Netherlands is well-equipped for cycling.
Music along the route to the Solheim Cup will create an atmosphere before fans even reach the 1st tee. Tickets for the event are officially on sale now, and can be purchased on the Solheim Cup 2026 website.
The European Captain for the Solheim Cup 2023 was Suzann Pettersen, with Caroline Hedwall and Paula Creamer serving as the respective assistant captains for the European and US teams. The USA leads the Solheim Cup series 11-7-1, but recent editions have been more tightly contested. In 2023, Europe retained the Solheim Cup after the teams tied.
For those planning to visit Bernardus Golf following the Solheim Cup, there is an opportunity to play the course. Further details can be found on the website. Bernardus Head professional Roel Verdonschot recommends Oisterwijk as a good base for Solheim Cup visitors.
In addition to the Solheim Cup, there are a selection of good golf courses in the surrounding area that offer day member rates. So whether you're a golf enthusiast or a casual fan, the 2026 Solheim Cup in the Netherlands promises to be an unforgettable event.
