Rotterdam - 18 stops - par 58

This is Rotterdam, where the map is the real city and the round is played on its actual streets. Real attractions like the Euromast are what the holes are built from, turning the city into a course. Skip is a local guide who knows the place and where the best crumbs are hidden. This full round of 18 holes covers 12.7 km and uses 60 portals to bridge the gaps between the distant landmarks.

HOW IT WORKS

01

Pick a city

The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.

02

Putt to the pin

Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.

03

Sightsee between strokes

Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.

THE ROTTERDAM ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 2

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen

You might think this is just another small local exhibit, but it is actually the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, an art museum that began in 1849. I can show you where it sits in the district Rotterdam Centrum at the Museumpark. If you have time for more, you can pick out the Natural History Museum and the Kunsthal nearby. It is a very popular spot for people to visit, seeing 252,300 visitors every year. I've noticed the crowds here always seem to be in a good mood while they wander through the art.

KunstHAL

Let me show you KunstHAL, an art museum situated in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It is an exhibition space that first opened in 1992. You can pick out the distinct style of the building, which was designed by architect Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. It is a popular stop in the city, drawing 159,140 annual visitors. I've noticed the crowds here always seem to be in a hurry to see the latest show, though they usually take their time admiring the architecture. It is a great spot to see how the city blends art with modern design.

Kunstinstituut Melly

You can find Kunstinstituut Melly in a former school building on Witte de Withstraat. This contemporary arts centre in Rotterdam presents curated exhibitions, symposiums, live events, and educational programs. It was founded in 1990 and was originally named after the street it was located on. Beyond the galleries and public events, the institution has a separate art literature publishing arm. I find the schoolhouse architecture gives the whole place a very specific energy, making it feel different from a traditional white-cube gallery space. It is a great spot to see how the city uses its old buildings for new ideas.

Wereldmuseum Rotterdam

You can find the Wereldmuseum Rotterdam situated at Willemskade in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. As an ethnographic museum, it focuses on the diverse cultures and peoples of the world. I've noticed it's a great spot for a walk along the water before heading inside. The institution has a long history in the city, having been founded in 1885, and it continues to be a popular destination today. You can pick out the influence of global traditions throughout the collections, which draw in 130,000 annual visitors.

Rotterdam Cruise Terminal

This building on the Wilhelmina Pier is a Rijksmonument designed in the reconstruction-period architecture style. Johannes Brinkman, Jo van den Broek, and Jaap Bakema served as architects for the structure. It is a cruise terminal that was started in 1949. I always find the pier a great spot to watch the ships come and go, though you have to keep an eye out for the wind when you are down there. It is a striking example of how the city rebuilt itself after the war.

Nederlands Fotomuseum

Let me show you the Nederlands Fotomuseum. This photography museum in Rotterdam is a place dedicated to the art of the lens and the stories captured within a frame. Beyond its galleries, it operates as a copyright holding organisation. It was founded in 2003. I've noticed that the light in this part of the city always makes for a great photo, though I usually spend my time watching the people walk by from a ledge. It is a wonderful spot for anyone who appreciates how a single image can capture a moment in time.

HOLE 13 - PAR 4

World Port Center

You will first notice the sharp, clean lines of the World Port Center. It is a skyscraper in Rotterdam designed in the style of modern architecture. The building was started in 1998 and was created by architects Norman Foster and Foster and Partners. Standing at 33 storeys, it reaches a total height of 123.1 m (404 ft). I usually find the glass facades a great spot to watch the city bustle from above, though I prefer the ledge for a better view of the street.

HOLE 15 - PAR 2

Euromast

The Euromast is an observation tower in Rotterdam. It is built on a concrete block of 1,900,000 kg and has an internal diameter of 9 m. The tower was designed by Hugh Maaskant and constructed between 1958 and 1960 for the 1960 Floriade. You can pick out the crow's nest observation platform 96 m above ground. In 1970, the Space Tower was added to the top of the building, adding 85 m. It has been a listed monument since 2010. I've seen a few other birds take a break on the higher ledges.

HOLE 17 - PAR 4

HH. Laurentius- en Elisabethkathedraal

You might expect to see only modernism in this city, but this is the HH. Laurentius- en Elisabethkathedraal. It is a cathedral designed by the architect Piet Buskens. The structure follows the Romanesque Revival architecture style, which distinguishes it from the surrounding contemporary buildings. Because of its historical and architectural importance, the building is designated as a Rijksmonument. Work on the cathedral began in 1904, making it a rare survivor of the city's older layers. It provides a calm, traditional space that contrasts with the fast pace of the urban environment outside its doors.

Oude of Pelgrimvaderskerk

The Oude of Pelgrimvaderskerk is a church building located in Rotterdam-Delfshaven, in the Netherlands. When you see the building, you can pick out the Late Gothic style used in its construction. This site is a Rijksmonument and was started in 1417. It remains a significant point of interest for those visiting the Delfshaven district, providing a clear example of the architectural preferences and building methods used during the period when the church was first established.

STOP 19

De Distilleerketel

Right here in the city, you can find De Distilleerketel. This site is a windmill and specifically a stellingmill. It is also a Rijksmonument, which means it is a protected national heritage site. I always find it interesting how these traditional structures stand their ground amidst the modern buildings of Rotterdam. It is a great spot to pause and look up at the sails before you continue your journey through the neighborhood. You can pick out the unique architecture that separates a stellingmill from other types of mills you might see elsewhere.
