Netherlands to Lithuania
Dutch corporate golf, without the Dutch course crowding
The Netherlands has a thriving corporate golf culture and some good courses. What it doesn't have is space. Lithuanian golf has what your country can't offer: hills, forest, privacy, and a championship course where your group sets the pace. KLM flies direct from Schiphol. You pay in euros. And the invoice will make your finance department smile.

A different landscape
You've got great golfers. We've got the terrain you don't.
The Netherlands punches above its weight in golf. Roughly 400,000 registered players, a strong tradition of corporate golf days, and several genuinely good courses. But you're working with a fundamental constraint: the land itself. The Netherlands is one of the flattest, most densely populated countries in Europe. Every square metre is contested. Courses are squeezed between housing and highways, tee times are packed, and the terrain -- while creatively used -- can only do so much with sea-level topography.
Lithuania is the opposite in almost every way that matters for golf. Capitals Golf Club sits on 140 hectares of Natura 2000 protected morainic landscape. That's glacial terrain -- real hills, not manufactured ones. Mature forest corridors frame each hole. Wildlife moves through the course. The nearest housing development is nowhere in sight.
For Dutch golfers, the contrast is immediate. You step onto the first tee and the space hits you. There's no sound of the A4 motorway. No row of houses behind the third green. Just forest, hills, and a course that was designed to work with the natural terrain rather than flatten it. It's what golf feels like when there's actually room for it.
The green fee is EUR 65. At home, that gets you a round at a middle-tier course -- probably flat, probably busy, probably with a two-hour wait for the clubhouse restaurant afterwards. In Lithuania, it gets you a championship layout in a nature reserve, with a pace of play that lets you actually enjoy the round. Dutch corporate groups find the value proposition hard to argue with.
Smart spending
Dutch companies are smart with budgets. Lithuania rewards that.
Let's not dance around it: Dutch business culture respects a good deal. Not cheap -- good value. Lithuania delivers exactly that.
A corporate golf event at a premium Dutch course runs EUR 150-250 per person for green fees, cart, catering, and basic event coordination. If you're hosting at a top club near Amsterdam or The Hague, you can spend EUR 300+ per person for a single day. That's before anyone travels.
For that same per-person budget, Lithuania gives you an international trip. Return KLM flights from Schiphol, one night in a 4-star hotel in Vilnius Old Town, private transfers, 18 holes at a championship course with coaching, and a multi-course dinner at a restaurant that would cost three times more in Amsterdam. Everything managed by our team.
The crucial point: it's all in euros. No currency conversion, no exchange rate guesswork, no unexpected charges. Your finance department processes it exactly like a domestic event. The only difference is the amount -- which is roughly half.
For Dutch multinationals hosting clients from various European offices, Lithuania is particularly practical. It's central enough to reach from most European capitals in 2-3 hours, the pricing works for any corporate budget, and the novelty factor is high. Nobody's expecting Lithuania, and that surprise is part of the appeal.

The Dutch bottom line
Same currency. Half the cost. Twice the experience. That's value a Dutch finance team appreciates.
Already connected
There's already a Dutch business community in Lithuania
Dutch companies have a meaningful presence in Lithuania. From logistics firms leveraging the country's strategic position to tech companies attracted by the talent pool, the Netherlands-Lithuania business corridor has been growing steadily. The Dutch Embassy in Vilnius actively supports trade relations, and bilateral investment flows continue to increase.
If your company already works with Lithuanian partners, suppliers, or has an office in Vilnius or Kaunas, a corporate golf event here makes double sense. You're building relationships with your team while visiting a market you're invested in. It's not just an outing -- it's practical business development wrapped in 18 holes.
For multinational Dutch companies, Lithuania also works as a central gathering point for European teams. Amsterdam, Berlin, Warsaw, Helsinki, Copenhagen -- all within 2-3 hours of Vilnius. If you need to bring together people from different offices, Lithuania is geographically convenient and financially sensible. The cost savings on the event itself often cover the flights from further-flung offices.
English proficiency is high across Lithuania's business and service sector. Your group won't face language barriers at the hotel, the course, or in restaurants. The culture is professional, efficient, and refreshingly direct -- familiar traits for Dutch visitors. Everything runs on time, communications are clear, and the service standard is genuinely good.
Getting there
Multiple routes from the Netherlands
Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS)
2h 30m direct
KLM direct to Vilnius. Full-service airline, business class available. The most convenient option for most Dutch groups. Morning departures, afternoon returns.
Eindhoven (EIN)
2h 20m to Kaunas
Ryanair to Kaunas. Budget-friendly, and Kaunas Airport is only 30 minutes from the golf course -- closer than Vilnius. Good option for groups based in Brabant or Limburg.
Via Warsaw or Riga
One-stop connections
LOT via Warsaw or airBaltic via Riga. Short layovers, more schedule flexibility. Sometimes useful if you're combining the trip with other business travel in the region.
