After a construction period of three years he's finally open: the new ' short course ' in Cadzand-Bad. He was opened July 2016. It's going to be a regular golf course, complete with water and bunkers of sand, but then nine instead of eighteen holes, which is a lot shorter than a normal golf course. The course consists of nine holes with a length of 48 to 90 meters. Some golf courses are straight, but especially the three courses on the side of the Ringdijk are tricky: there you need to have the water store, with risks on drowned balls. Everyone is welcome on the golf course. During a round of golf you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views in the polder of Cadzand and afterwards in our clubhouse chat while enjoying a drink. Also as casual passer-by without using our golf facilities are you in the club house welcome! The golf course is right next to the Roompot holiday park North Sea Résidence Cadzand-Bad.
