Texel Golf Club in De Koog, Netherlands — webcam online

Live broadcast from the Texel golf course

This online webcam offers a view of one of the most atmospheric golf courses in the Netherlands — the De Texelse club on the island of Texel. The camera shows in real time the green holes, dunes, and players making their way around the course against the backdrop of the North Sea. If you're interested in golf or simply want to see a landscape that's unusual for Holland — this broadcast is for you.

The island of Texel is the largest of the Wadden Islands in the province of North Holland. Here, among sandy dunes and coastal meadows, sits a golf club that is often compared to authentic Scottish links. The Texel Golf Club webcam allows you to appreciate the scale of the course and its natural surroundings right now.

History of De Texelse club

The De Texelse golf club was founded on March 31, 1994. The course was designed by architect Alan Rijks, who managed to fit the holes into the natural dune landscape while preserving the characteristic terrain of Texel island.

The course consists of 18 holes par 72 in the dunes and an additional 9 holes par 3. This format allows players of different levels to find a suitable distance. The club quickly gained recognition among golfers for its unique location and quality of the turf.

Course features — 18 holes among the dunes

The club is located in De Koog, the northern part of Texel island (Roggeslootweg 3). The course sits within the extensive dune area of Nationaal Park Duinen van Texel — a national park that protects the island's unique ecosystem.

Texel Golf Club differs from classic parkland courses. There are no flat fairways or symmetrical layouts. Instead — natural elevation changes, sandy dunes, tall grass along the edges of the holes, and water hazards visible on several holes. The large greens require a precise approach, and the uneven terrain makes every shot unpredictable.

Many players note that the course resembles authentic Scottish links — with the same sense of space, wind, and proximity to the sea. This is a rarity in the Netherlands, where most golf clubs are located on flat terrain.

Sea climate and wind as the main challenge

Texel island is in the maritime climate zone of the Wadden Islands. Strong sea wind is what determines the difficulty of playing at De Texelse. The wind can blow from different directions, and its direction literally changes the game: the same hole requires completely different strategies depending on the wind.

Depending on the wind direction, the sound of the sea can be heard on the course — this creates a special atmosphere but at the same time makes it difficult to concentrate. Humidity and salt spray affect the condition of the ball and clubs. For golfers used to enclosed parkland courses, playing on Texel becomes a real test.

The Texel Golf Club webcam in real time allows you to assess the current weather conditions: wind strength by the behavior of the grass and trees, precipitation, and overall visibility on the course.

How to get to the golf club on Texel

Texel island is connected to the mainland by a ferry. The ferry from Den Helder to Texel (Teso) runs approximately 23 minutes, 365 days a year, without reservation. This is convenient for guests with a car — you can bring your golf clubs and drive to the course.

From the ferry to De Koog runs bus line 28 or Texelhopper with 200+ stops. The journey takes about 50 minutes. Texelhopper is a flexible route that can deviate from the main route at request stops, which is convenient for passengers with luggage.

Near De Koog is Texel International Airport (EHTX) — an airport for light aircraft. Some club guests arrive here on private aircraft, which adds a special charm to the place.

Seasonal changes on the course

The golf course on Texel looks different depending on the season. In the warm season, the fairways are lush green, players actively make their way around the holes, and meadow grasses bloom around the course. In the cold months, the grass takes on a yellowish hue, and the landscape becomes more severe — grey skies, low clouds, and strong wind create the atmosphere of a true links course.

Water hazards on the holes can change their water level depending on precipitation and tides. The dune area is mobile — sand shifts under the influence of wind, and the configuration of some bunkers may change slightly. This makes the course alive and unpredictable.

The Texel Golf Club webcam online shows the current state of the course — you can see how actively golfers are playing, what the grass on the holes looks like, and how the surrounding landscape appears at the moment.

What's visible on the camera

The camera is positioned so that the frame captures a spacious golf course with a natural dune landscape. On the green fairways, golfers playing on the course are visible, a yellow flag on the hole. A golf cart moves along the right side of the course. In the foreground — tall grass and reeds, typical of the natural area around the course. In the background, a dense forest is visible, framing the golf club. Birds often fly in the sky — seagulls and other seabirds characteristic of the North Sea coast.

This real-time webcam gives you the opportunity to watch the game at De Texelse — one of the few golf clubs in the Netherlands located in a dune area on the seashore. If you're planning a visit to Texel or are simply interested in golf, the broadcast will show the atmosphere of this place without the need to travel there.
