Incredibly bad, no response to our complaint either

We were actually staying in Balm and played there too (great place).
Wanted to try the Baltic Hills, never again.
Incredibly poor general condition, but the GreenFee has the same price. There was also no response to our complaint.
If we had known that the greens were partially arified and that patting was not possible properly and that the course was otherwise not in good condition, we would not have booked. The greens have a strong fungal attack.
Really annoying. To our complaint - zero response.
Never again!!!

Hilly

We were in Heringsdorf for a long weekend and went to the Baltic Hills despite the sometimes harsh reviews here.
Yes, the place or actually the entire facility could be in better condition. Regarding the driving range, all I can say is: balls and mats (both underground). The bunkers are also partly unkempt (or: it spreads in some grass). And by early June the fairways had dried up in some places (but we'll probably have to adjust to that everywhere thanks to climate change).
BUT: The place is fun (at least for us). It's really hilly and needs to be played tactically. In any case, blindly jumping on it will automatically lead to frustration. We got to know a varied and quite demanding course that we will definitely play again.

Sad condition of a beautifully situated place

The condition of the place is really sad! The reviews/ratings seem to go nowhere.
The fact that some of the fairways have dried up and are littered with a number of bare spots (flattened molehills) is perhaps due to nature and the lack of rainfall. But there is also a lot of grass growing in the bunkers and a lot of long weeds growing on the bunker edges. Some tees look catastrophic, sometimes tee boards are missing. The greens were mostly in good condition.
The green fee of EUR 60.00 is definitely inappropriate for a place in this condition!

Very unfortunate about the otherwise beautifully designed place.

Personal feedback failed due to the extremely unfriendly employee...

Neglected place

Have played Baltic Hills numerous times over the last 9 years. Already last year and especially this year (July 2022) it is noticeable that the condition has deteriorated a lot. The fact that some of the fairways have dried up and are littered with a number of bare spots (flattened molehills) is perhaps due to nature and the lack of rainfall. But there is also a lot of grass growing in the bunkers and a lot of long weeds growing on the bunker edges. Some tee spots also look great, some tee boards are missing. Greens were very slow in July 2022 but held the line well. Overall much worse maintenance condition than a few years ago. The green fee has remained unchanged at EUR 60.00 for several years.
It is also noticeable during the game that many guests do not follow etiquette, so the carts are driven onto the green, also between the green bunker and the green, flags are thrown onto the green, bunkers are not raked. Some guests don't think much of letting them play through, so faster flights have to wait. This year I had the impression that there were a lot of players who only have pay and play levels.
It's a shame about the otherwise beautifully designed space, which used to be much better.
Before the condition has not improved, I will avoid the place first.

Neglected

Poorly maintained course, many holes on the fairway and bumpy bad paths, certainly not only because of the lack of rain in the region.
Greens with a lot of weeds and very dry spots.
Bunker hard and with a lot of grass or weeds Calls are not answered on the weekend. Unprofessional leadership. Green fee of EUR 60 for 18 holes is too expensive for the current condition of the place.
Never again!

Evening round with mosquitoes

Completed an evening round today together with very hungry mosquitoes. Bug spray is an absolute must.
To the place: Greens well-groomed and on track. Tea boxes also very well maintained. Fairways struggle - like all other courses - with the dryness. This place is quite demanding in places (keyword "ball lie") Reception very friendly and courteous. However, nobody there wanted to hear anything about the Super-Twilight tariff (EUR 30 from 6 p.m., as noted). Too bad. Then I would have come earlier and saved myself the dance with the mosquitoes.
Conclusion: a challenging course for first-time players, which is exactly why I like to come back.

Solid day of golf

Despite the Easter holiday, I was able to easily book a start time the evening before for the next morning, had only one flight in front of me, which let me play through quickly and then had a pleasant round in the really beautiful nature of this golf course in the best weather. I find it perfectly embedded in the landscape, varied and quite demanding. Even though I've beaten my handicap by 5 strokes here with half a set of golf clubs, despite a complete 6-month abstinence from golf. It would have been even better if the greens hadn't been so unusually slow that I was actually too short with every putt. But all in all a satisfying round.

Unfortunately, the tee boards were missing on many of the holes, and since the course has quite a few crests and blind shots, it was difficult for me as a first-time player. I then had to keep checking my golf app on my cell phone. I also had a few spots where I wasn't sure what the next hole was, because the second 9 is interwoven with the first. You should improve here, but it's certainly not that bad for second players. I also didn't like that while I was playing hole 9, another flight was making its way to hole 10. But then I was let through. The dressing room is very simple. For once, I actually wanted to take a shower that day, but since there were no towels, I had to skip it.

Reception was friendly, I checked in at the bar counter. I can't say anything about gastronomy and the pro shop. All in all, the amount of the green fee for the course is just about appropriate, it must not be higher due to the performance offered.

Pleasant vacation Place

The place suited us very well as a holiday spot: it is more inspiring than monotonous, but has sophistication that is sometimes flattened by blindness. It was great fun for us (handicap 15/f, 22/m) and the €60 is (just) appropriate for the space. At the beginning of March 2022 we were already playing on summer greens, although the ground was still exposed to frost at night. Apparently it is not treated as a championship course. Yes, a green is so shadowed that the transition to the fairway was not entirely clear. When there is wind on the upper levels, it is certainly exhausting for nature and players in general. The integration into the natural landscape all around is very appealing. Otherwise bunkers and fairways were perfect. Compared to other places he has our full recommendation, because the price/performance ratio was right.
E-trolley is recommended for the individual slopes; Cart seems overkill to us, since the healthiest thing about golf is walking. In our opinion, the hotel booked with the package deal is also highly recommended; homely and pleasant.

Much better than expected!

We were skeptical because of the bad reviews, but we cannot confirm them! The course is in very good condition - it was fun to play this varied course. The bunkers were freshly raked every morning. We had a nice round on 3 days and would love to come back! The hotel and gastronomy are also recommended!

Golf understanding!!! ️

We played the course for 7 days and can say that it was varied, lots of Raffs, narrow lanes partially, hilly but easy to run with e-trolleys! We played very nice rounds.
The green fee is certainly excessive and the place is not a champions place, but you have to know that only 3 greenkeepers look after the whole area.
It's a shame to read such bad reviews without knowing the exact background!
As a golfer you would like the adjoining hotel to provide more support as a tenant, a few new range balls would be desirable ️
Clubhouse and hotel great, friendly staff, everything was very good, we'll be back!

Unfortunately neglected

Great exciting place with lots of hills. Actually, you wouldn't expect that on Usedom. It's fun to play. But then comes the aaaber: unfortunately everything is very neglected. Overgrown bunkers, greens full of holes and even a lot of rubbish lying around. Overall, the place is SORRY in really bad condition.

Incredible

Unfortunately the place is in a terrible state. Fairways only brown with holes, green very, very slowly. Everyone can go on the pitch, no handicap control, no marshal who looks. So plan a 5 hour round! Even if you shouldn't or are not allowed to play the bunkers because of Covit, you could maintain them. Unfortunately the condition of the whole place is absolutely poor! Not even worth a star, the 60 euros for the green fee is just way too much. Have never played such a poorly maintained golf course! Let it go.

Dream and nightmare at the same time

A wonderful place in a fantastic location. Not easy to play, especially when blind strokes make it impossible to tell which direction to play. The fairways are not really wide everywhere and after a narrow semi-rough strip, the rough comes into play very quickly, where you can lose balls. So be careful and follow the flight of the ball closely - if possible, like this

Unfortunately, the state of care does not do justice to the situation, a real nightmare. Greens slow, bumpy and partly eaten away. Lots of bald spots on the fairways. Cuttings remain lying around and form piles, even on the foregreens. Several boards are missing completely, which makes orientation much more difficult.

Our subjective impression was that the necessary investments were not made to keep this place in good condition. Very, very unfortunate, because with appropriate maintenance the place would be a real highlight with potential for the top 50 in Germany.

Cool, slow but exciting

Fortunately, we played this card with Card at 12 degrees and powerful stiff breeze. Before and a 3er Flight of older gentlemen on whom we had to wait forever. Play through let us after several flights did not run aground on us. In some parts very tight. Long tracks with a lot of height difference. The tees, fairways and greens were in good condition. Overall, good place to play.

Pleasant Place

Of course, in June given the previous temperatures and the lack of rain, the place was extremely dry, but you have to expect in such weather conditions on the Baltic Sea always. The greens were slow, but ok. Varied holes, but fair, but you always have to expect gusts of wind. Unfortunately no Proshop more, registration in the restaurant necessary, although friendly staff, but in the restaurant is compared to formerly still up.

Top hui...

With takeover by the Dorint group still good greens, wide tracks as well as sparse rough and nice Pro, but only A4-boards at the tee, abaft Proshop and at noon "only cake or Bockwurst" until at 17.00.
The honestly endeavored service ended downstairs in the changing area, where towels were missing (except for three used on the floor) and the one (!) Shower also knew better times. Fie for the smell i. S. worse station toilet!

Golfing experience on Usedom

The Baltic Hills Golf Club in Korswandt on the Wolgastsee on the north German island of Usedom offers a golfing experience of a special kind.
In glorious summer weather, the 19-hole course is very dry but easy to play. The greens are a bit slow and the bunkers big and numerous and the rough pretty high. Overall, the course is neither too easy nor too heavy, so golfing here is great fun for every handicap class. The tracks are created very varied in a typical heath landscape. The prices are cheap, the staff very friendly, the nature all around simply stunning, and the clubhouse and restaurant excellent - what more could you want from a relaxing day of golf. I just felt very comfortable here, also because my teammates were very nice people from the club. I'll be back anytime!

Very nice place

Beautiful Surprise

We were very satisfied. Uncomplicated advice and great service.
Drilling range was as you often find it. It is not possible to use the mats, which is why they looked like this. But it was possible to switch off directly from the tea. The place was great, the fairways and greens were top.

Great golf course!

My partner and I have tried the place last weekend and have not been disappointed! The place is varied and also challenging (HCP: 18). The greens were great. Particularly noteworthy are also the employees in the shop, which offered us even Mückenenspray for the round. After the game, we took a small snack on the restaurant terrace and looked out over the square. We will be back!

Unspoiled place

We played this non-unite place today in relatively good weather.
The driving range is an impertinence with completely worn knock-off mats.
The fairways after the discounts looked more like a field.
The bunker unpleasant, the edges with weeds sewed and not mowed.
The greens, on the other hand, were in very good condition.
After the round there were no towels and the facility has both in the men's and ladies area only a shower cubicle.
The ransomed guards were not complete.
Fszit: A pity about this beautiful golf course.

Recommended with great service!

We were on a long weekend in April at the facility (hotel and place).
Personally, I have the place really liked (HCP 25). The fairways and greens were good to play in a very good condition, mowed very short but for me. I was surprised by the bumpiness of the square, you have to play well on slopes.

Essentially is the place on an open landscape designed, that little forest and scrub, and water comes into play on only a few tracks. Since the Rough was kept short everywhere, you could play through without much ball Search.

A beautiful Sweet is the hole "0" on the way to tee 1. How to play up the small hill...

The holes 9 and 18 open directly outside the hotel. A nice view of the hotel grounds and also from the hotel to the square (if you booked the page).

Conclusion: the place was not overly difficult for me to play, but still varied and interesting.
A special praise goes to the Secretariat. I recommend to ask because in our days, many Swedes were for short-Tip as for start times. Still, everything worked great, very friendly always trying to find solutions and. We had offered nice "Scottish" Golf weather, it was Cafe and drinks on the round by Cart. IMmewr a nice word... THANK YOU for it.

Nice place!!!

Have played the course on 08.08.2016.
Staff in the Secretariat and restaurant very friendly. Very positive was the reduction of green fees by 20% due to its dry fairways. So there were just only 48 €. Unfortunately, there was not a birdie-book, which would have been helpful at the first visit. Furthermore, the descriptions of the tracks were partially between the yellow and red tees. The reductions were good, the fairways partially hard and dried out and the greens were not very nice, comical grooves. Who is not able to walk well, be a cart should take because it's a little hilly.
Conclusion: Will love to come again again.

Where are the Hills

The site lies behind a mixed impression.
Condition of the fairways quite okay greens some with bald spots and make a right to the mower to the ground "shaved".
The "Baltic Hills" have not opened up to me, a lot of the tracks are on a "plateau" above the clubhouse, approx 6 lanes in a valley. The design more a bit monotonous, water and dog-legs in short supply.
As we had expected more.

Friendly Hills

Played on 30 and 31.08.2014, HCP 13

Yes, the name is right, the place is somewhat hilly - Cart recommended!

Otherwise the difficulties, however, keep in bounds. Does lane 1 still relatively narrow (left and right forest), so the terrain opens from web 2 and presents itself play friendly with mostly VERY WIDE fairways. The rough is also friendly mowed down - with a few exceptions, the balls are easy to find and in some cases even to play without any problems with the fairway wood. Proper forest is found only on the edge of the square, only occasional individual trees or small groups of trees into play, so that the space visually looks a little sparse. The few water hazards are seldom really get in the way - a little more careful you have to but because of the variety of strategically placed bunkers. In general, the balls from these obstacles are playing well - but the sand is not uniformly distributed therein. In some bunkers, the sand layer above the hard ground is simply too thin, others play themselves properly.

Also the maintenance condition of the tees (very bumpy, you have his tea already a reasonably flat cookie with closed grass cover search), and the greens could be improved. The Puttflächen look terrible (lots of clear-cutting and brown bodies and not "healed" pitch marks), but play not quite as bad as it makes us fear the optics. They are moderately fast, the balls a little jolt, but mostly keep track.

Some tracks are really interesting (lane 10 with a HUGE bunker before the uphill to gambling green, track 18 445m of yellow "downhill" on the left and rear framed by water green to), but some others are just "Füllnummern" (long-wavelength Fairway with a few bunkers). The place seems to have been a little short, consists in several places danger from oncoming balls of the neighboring fairways. Very extreme on the 10 - the dogleg of the 9 challenges the shortening across the fairway of almost 10!

Ulkig: The round begins on railway 0 - the "Mulligan-hole", a short par 3, about 120m uphill to the hot games.

Conclusion: A nicely prepared holiday meadow. Those who are not looking for the ultimate sporting challenge, or who want to score properly again, is in good hands here. Due to some interesting tracks several times to play, you should not leave the space left when one is nearby - does not need extra repeatedly go you must. Good 2 star (the "Bear Golf Ranking": 5 out of 10 points) - with better care would also scarce three in there.

The BEST in the area!

GOOD clubhouse, great place, almost like a links course, despite the surrounding forest to untebrochen of a few crisp gradients. Some holes are on a kind of plateau rel. Closely applied so that meetings do not lack. YET VERY VARIED AND thoroughly recommended with regard to layout and space maintenance. Exceptionally good price performance ratio. WELCOME TO Balmer Lake (qv). It is by the way a 19-hole space, hole 0, a par 3 hole is a Box a great idea.
Come after the round necessarily the clubhouse. We had three different fish dishes that were ALL outstanding. Everyone here is guest oriented. SO IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE!

No room for communicative single player

To me it is now the 3rd Consecutive failed, although in the application required to get booked to a teammate on the round. So the last time I played in front of two 2-flights and behind me a 2-Flight. Apart from the inefficient space usage I can not imagine that only Authisten or fresh couples in love in this club are traveling to me.
The nice thing about this sport is it that you can meet new people playing again. However, this is Korswandt apparently not so simple.

Square fits to the island

The place 2013 little dried out, is exactly how you imagine him on the island of Usedom.
Built very varied and on sandy soil is reminiscent of a British inland course. Too bad that probably a lot of pine trees were cut down for the construction, those who have stopped, make perfectly into the landscape. For me this is definitely one of the better, since not all courses Alttäglichen our Republic!
Staff was extremely friendly and inquired after the round if you were satisfied, who is sometimes on the island or nearby lives should absolutely play this course!

SUPER Place

A golf course out of a picture book on a beautiful island.
The place is very well maintained, the greens are top.
Single-handicap players and beginners come to this varied scenic place their money.
The place remains despite some quirks (polynuclear deep roughs, large lakes, undulating fairways) always fair and it's really fun to play this course.
A special feature is certainly the 0-th hole, a par 3 of the upload, and the elevated tees.
Overall, a great and spacious facility with very nice staff and a highly recommended restaurant with a nice view terrace! "Mosquitoes" are never the way I noticed during my three visits...

A lot of wind

The Secretariat is somewhat sedate but otherwise highly recommended-rated golf course. Tracks designed very demanding. Extremely rough ball and swallowing almost impossible to bring back to light. The wind makes the shock even more difficult. Some golfers hold on holiday probably nothing from the bunker hook. Unfortunately, a scheduled tournament is down, there was only an information on demand. Offer in the pro shop rather straightforward, no Birdie book available, demo rackets probably not.

Baltic hills on the eponymous track 5 is the latest clear what is meant.
Moving fairways (track 5 as in the hoobits) and well defended par 3
Enough challenges, precisely because of the wind through the not inconsiderable place pretty "hard" and the ball is hard to keep up. rollts this content better. ;)
thank god are enough tree coverage.
And beautiful look to the landscape.
Great for a first 4 months recorded space.
Driving range and chipping greens well.
Mulliganloch on the way to first teeing off.
Rolling refreshment service in the space of coffee to pils. Thanks again and keep it up.
We will see us again.
