Bernardus Golf, host venue of the 2026 Solheim Cup, has unveiled the latest showpiece in its culinary offering, with Noble Kitchen taking a new name and continuing as Nami, a Japanese and South American-inspired restaurant.
Set within the wider Bernardus estate in Cromvoirt, near the historic city of ’s-Hertogenbosch, Nami reflects the destination’s continued focus on golf, gastronomy, and signature wine, combined with high-end hospitality.
Inspired by the Japanese word for ‘wave’, Nami captures a sense of movement and progression, ideas that sit naturally within the Bernardus Experience. The kitchen continues under the leadership of Chef Tom Schoonus, who has led the culinary direction since 2019, ensuring continuity, quality, and the same high standards that have shaped the restaurant’s reputation.
The restaurant, which holds a Michelin star, now enters a new chapter with a refreshed name, redesigned interior, and more defined culinary direction, taking on a more defined Nikkei signature – combining Japanese precision with South American influences to create a unique dining experience.
The redesigned interior, created by Pieter Laureys, introduces a more intimate atmosphere, aligning the restaurant with the refined but relaxed character of Bernardus. At the same time, Bernardus Café has taken on a clearer role within the estate, offering a more international dining experience, suited to the rhythm of the day.
For Bernardus, Nami is not simply a new name, but the natural evolution of a place already central to the guest experience. Dining forms an important part of the wider Bernardus Experience, complementing its Kyle Phillips-designed championship course, extensive practice facilities, wellness offering, and intimate on-site Lodge.
Open to all through Day Memberships, Bernardus has built its identity around a more relaxed and experience-led approach to golf hospitality. Nami strengthens that positioning by giving guests another reason to extend their visit beyond the course, whether as part of a day at Bernardus or a complete stay-and-play escape.
Sabine Riezebos, General Manager of Bernardus, commented: “The Bernardus Experience has always been about creating memories, from the golf course to the food, the wine, the design, and the overnight stay. Nami represents the next step in that journey, bringing a renewed energy to our culinary offering while remaining true to the attention to detail that defines us.”
Ahead of the 2026 Solheim Cup, the first to be staged in the Netherlands, the introduction of Nami adds another layer to the Bernardus Experience, bringing together championship golf, gastronomy, wine and overnight stays in one cohesive destination.
