Sabine Riezebos: What Does It Take to Host the Solheim Cup? Behind the Scenes at Bernardus

About this episode

In our 4th episode, host Georgina Black sits down with Sabine Riezebos, General Manager of Bernardus Golf, just days before the venue hosts the 2026 Solheim Cup 💛💙 Sabine takes us behind the scenes of what it actually takes to prepare a golf course for one of the biggest events in women’s sport — from building a 2,600-seat first tee and transforming the course setup, to the tiny operational details spectators will never notice 👀 But this episode is about much more than event preparation. Sabine also shares her own journey into golf from a hospitality background, the doubts people had when she took on the role, and how coming into the industry without traditional golf experience helped her build Bernardus differently 📈 We talk about leadership, trusting your instincts, creating genuinely welcoming golf environments, why Bernardus calls itself a “no rules club”, and what the wider golf industry could learn from putting hospitality and experience first. With the Solheim Cup just around the corner, this is a rare look at the people and decisions behind the scenes making the event happen 🤩 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
