For a few unforgettable days, Bernardus became the stage for the world’s leading golfers from Europe and the United States, surrounded by tens of thousands of passionate fans on the course and many more following from home.

Held from September 11–13, the tournament placed Bernardus in front of a global audience and concluded with Team Europe reclaiming the trophy following a dramatic 15–13 victory over the United States.

The event attracted approximately 80,000 spectators from 40 countries, creating an unforgettable atmosphere throughout the week.

At the centre of the occasion was Bernardus’ Kyle Phillips-designed championship course, which delivered a strategic and compelling match-play test for the world’s leading players.

The course was presented to an excellent standard throughout the competition and remained resilient following heavy rain on the final morning. Its water features, strategic bunkering, contoured greens, and changing wind conditions contributed to memorable moments across all three days.

Several international media outlets highlighted the presentation and resilience of the course following Sunday’s heavy rain, alongside the atmosphere, spectator experience, and match-play drama created across Bernardus.

The week also marked the first time that the PING Junior Solheim Cup and Solheim Cup were staged on the same golf course, bringing together emerging players and some of the leading names in the women’s game at Bernardus.

Robert van der Wallen, owner of Bernardus, shared: “By hosting the Solheim Cup at Bernardus, we brought women’s sport at the very highest level closer to a broad audience, both in the Netherlands and beyond. In doing so, we are helping to grow the appreciation of women’s sport, encouraging people to get active themselves, and inspiring young athletes to dream bigger. In this way, we are investing in both sport and society.”

Beyond the action on the course, Bernardus introduced new experiences designed to bring the tournament closer to audiences in the Netherlands and around the world.

The Home of Bernardus brought the venue into the Fan Village through Bernardus wines, merchandise, and interactive activities. Bernardus Solheim Cup Radio also delivered the first dedicated live radio service in the competition’s history, covering every match across the PING Junior Solheim Cup and Solheim Cup for spectators and international listeners.

Sabine Riezebos, General Manager of Bernardus, said: “The Solheim Cup was the result of several years of preparation and an enormous collective effort. We are extremely proud of how Bernardus was presented throughout the week and of the experience created for visitors. The tournament may have finished, but its impact will remain, and we look forward to welcoming golfers and guests from around the world.”
