driehoeksgolf

Driehoeksgolf is a niche sport that blends elements of golf with geometric course design. The concept centers on a triangle-shaped playing area, where players must navigate between three key points in a single circuit. The emphasis is on precision, planning, and the ability to control ball trajectory within triangular layouts.

A typical setup features three greens located at the corners of a triangle, connected by fairways or defined shot paths. Players start from a shared central tee and move in sequence from one vertex to the next, completing a triangular loop. Rounds can be organized as three-hole loops, or adapted into standard 9- or 18-hole formats that incorporate multiple triangles. Shot planning, club selection, and speed control are important, as players must manage how the ball travels the sides of the triangle and negotiates any hazards placed at the vertices.

Scoring in driehoeksgolf usually follows traditional stroke play, counted by total strokes for the triangle circuit. Variants include triangle-stableford or match-play formats where performance is assessed on each vertex or segment. Common formats prize accuracy and efficiency over sheer distance, encouraging players to optimize angles and landing zones.

Equipment remains standard golf gear—clubs, balls, and tees—though courses may feature geometric markers and triangle-themed hazards to reinforce the spatial challenge. Driehoeksgolf is primarily practiced at a grassroots level, with informal tournaments and demonstrations that highlight geometry in golf.
