Excellent experience. Everything - travel signs, parking, toilet and eating facilities was very well organised and geared to the customer. The course itself was well laid out for spectators. It allowed a view at every hole and allowed you to get close to the players.
Very nice tournament on wonderful Hiversum course. Enough facilities. One thing that would help finding one's way around would be a printed version of the course. Much easier than digital.
Goed georganiseerd en vriendelijke begeleiding - prachtige baan.
Minder goed waren de parking-faciliteiten mn : bij aankomst aanduiding waar te parkeren (welke mogelijkheden) en afstond tot de inkom.
Had a wonderful time. Could see fantastic a lots of plays nearly.
An Excellent 3 days at the tournament
What a venue, what views and what fantastic golf. I did ground passes for the first 2 days and then hospitality for the last 2 on the 16th. Great atmosphere, great staff, so well organised, already looking to booking again for next year….
We have enjoyed visiting this event for several years, however, the number of top players was very limited this year which was disappointing. The event is well organised and viewing is good due to the limited amount of spectators however, walking the course is not that easy in parts. Hospitality/catering on the course is limited and very expensive so take your sandwiches and a flask.
There was a shuttle bus from the parking place to the golf course. We we about 12-14 people going to the shuttlebus in the morning about 8:30. We we all about 30-40 meter from the bus when the bus started to drive and did not wait for us. We thought it was “hidden camera”.
Access to all of the 18 holes is very simple without any restrictions beside those that golfers know. Result update differs too much from real time game; that’s my be the only weak point. And a place to get some snacks / sandwiches beside the restaurant would be fine.
Bessere und mehr Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten (Essen und Trinken) für die Zuschauer und Helfer wären wünschenswert.
Better and more catering options (food and drink) for spectators and helpers would be desirable.
I attended on Thursday. Attendance was sparse but enjoyable.
Even as a non-VIP attendant, i was treated kindly and efficiently.
My recommendation is that this event gets advertised widely on radio in order to attract more feet. How about also inviting schools to attend? This might augur well for the future.
I was also impressed with the spread of the hotels as well as the reasonable pricing over this period.
A job well done!
Fantastic NSW Women's Open
The golf was great.
Parking directions were absolutely appalling!!
Poor organisation from the start! The "opening ceremony" was a shambles! Asking for more money to attend was an utter disgrace and no wonder it was empty! What was the Queen tribute all about? Cringe worthy. No buses from Estepona even though it was the nearest big town! Everything went from moneybags Marbella!
The course was ridiculous to walk and not well signposted and I got lost trying to find my way back to the Plaza (seating area and big screen)
First day I went I had my water taken off me and no food was allowed either so we had to buy ridiculously priced water and basic food. It was €4 for a small froth filled beer.
Hardly any shade or seating for the many fans tired from walking the hilly course.
The final day was boiling hot! Again hardly any shade and you had to PAY an upgrade to obtain a wooden seat that took 2 men hours to put into place. Which should have been done earlier in the day or night before. Loads of faffing about by staff moving chairs and large potted plants whilst we tried to watch the matches on the one screen in the entire venue
Had to leave early on the last day as we knew we wouldn't be able to get back due to lack of transport to Estepona.
Overall an expensive underwhelming experience! A cash cow for the organisers from start to finish.
The golf course was not at all fan friendly . It is a playing course not a walking course . No consideration for fans of all ages who spent a lot of money to support The Solheim Cup .
Relaxed atmosphere, reasonable amount of spectators, good food (fries, pizza), multiple points for refilling your waterbottle, sale of summer clothing at the golfclub
First and foremost: great to have the tournament in Holland. Information to spectators could be improved. F.i. more scorekeepers per flight, leaderboard, course-outlay also on paper instead of only online etc.
Well organised day, staff very very friendly. I would like to see clearer Leaderboards; the boards used were illegible from a distance. Is it possible to have electronic board that provide good visibility. We had to check the RTE site to see an up-to-date Leaderboard.
A fabulous event. Well organised. Noise from Hospitality tent was too loud for those putting in the 18th green.
Wonderful three days (Fri., Sat & Sun.) in my case.
For other fans, follow the quieter groups as well as the large crowds as there is lots of great golf to see.
