Although we are still 10 months out, the first hotel is already fully booked for the weekend of the Open Dutch 2020. Well, I should probably be a bit more specific: all rooms which could be booked against the Open Dutch 2020 rate are gone at Fletcher Wellness Hotel Helmond (the hotel right above the venue.) There are about 12 Deluxe/Superior rooms left, if you would like to stay at the Wellness Hotel Helmond we would recommend booking asap, as we expect they will probably run out of rooms completely by the end of March.

Of course there are great alternatives listed, in Helmond and the surrounding area. For instance Hotel West-Ende is walking distance from the venue. Have a look at our accommodations page for more details on each of the hotels we recommend and the rates we negotiated with them.

Note that some hotels (West-Ende, Nobis Asten, Hotel Plein-Vijf) do provide the option to stay with up to 4 people in a room, which could be a great cheap alternative.

We have already started preparations for the Open Dutch 2020. Some may have already spotted the new banner on the website or on facebook, and of course we also have a new poster. Once again an awesome job by 2CREATE on the design. Thanks for your help. We hope you like the poster as much as we do, and we hope to see you all on Saturday the 25th of January! Please mark your calendar. We will share the official invite with all the details about the competition soon!

We just received the confirmation, the Open Dutch 2020 edition will be held on Saturday the 25th of January (2020). We know, that seems like light years away, but it only is 11 months. We have already seen the first folks booking their hotel rooms. For those interested, we updated the Hotel/Accommodations page with the new prices and the booking codes, which some hotels require to get the discounted rate.

We are excited about the next edition of the Open Dutch, we appreciate all the feedback provided by all of you through our Survey, and we are aiming to introduce changes based on the feedback, which hopefully will bring the tournament to the next level.

For those who attended / participated in the Open Dutch last weekend we created a short survey. It will only take about 5 minutes to complete, but it will help us improve the quality of the tournament even further next year! Please head over to the below link and fill out the form!
