Beautiful view
Reviewed June 28, 2022
We played the course on 06/24/2022! The view was very nice from almost all tracks, which unfortunately we can't say about the place! The fairways for the most part an absolute disaster! The greens were mowed irregularly or the lawn was way too long and looked like well-mowed fairways. The greens on 2 lanes were so bad (burned and filled with sand) that the golf ball didn't roll, just jumped uncontrollably to the hole! All in all, we can not recommend the place!

Demanding place in a great landscape
Reviewed July 17, 2021
We are always greeted and treated in a very friendly manner by all employees. The 18-hole course is sporty and demanding, embedded in an impressive landscape. All in all, the greens are in very good condition. Only one or the other green was not ideal.
What we particularly like is that everything is so relaxed and stress-free and that we can take our dog with us on the round. The gastronomy is also impeccable. We like to sit comfortably on the terrace and eat a birdie toast or the tuna sandwitch.
From our point of view, a clear recommendation, especially for all sporty dog owners who want to be quiet.

Great place with many surprises
Reviewed June 4, 2021
Only suitable to a limited extent for beginners, but this is exactly the right thing for players who love challenges. Boredom never occurs and most courses always have a surprise up their sleeves! It was a lot of fun for me, ok maybe not that much on the first round, but the next rounds with the experience then available in dream weather and a really unexpectedly well-maintained 18-hole course for the brief hint of anger about your own game on the first day more than compensated The very nice hotel manager and above all the incredible head greenkeeper who has his boys, all 18 lanes and everything else under control in a very relaxed way, contributed a lot to these unforgettable days. I am very sure there will be a repeat here.
So my bottom line is

My beautiful home place
Reviewed May 13, 2021
To say that right from the start - yes, I am partial here, because I really like it, my home place.
The place is very easy to reach via the B41 and the signage is so good that you don't actually need a GPS. The parking lot may seem small, but I always found a place( even when the hotel was busy. The secretariat is also the hotel reception and I found the friendliness amazing from day one. Everyone exudes joy here and the feeling is taken away then with on the round.
A little below the hotel grounds is the driving range - some tee mats, but no covered tee boxes. A small chipping area (including practice bunker) is also located in the hotel garden, as are two putting greens, which correspond well to the later greens on the course.
To the first tee, it's about 150 meters along a dirt road and then the first par 3 is waiting there, on the right a clear out of bounds and on the left a dense bush, so only one thing helps - play straight and attack the green about 110 meters away.
Then it goes slightly up the slope to tees 2 and 3, already here the gaze begins to wander into nature and that then continues to the last hole.
The Greekeepingteam does a really great job here - clearly recognizable fairways, clean tee boxes, and precisely cut and filled bunkers with fresh sand convey a lot of fun and let the ball roll in the direction of the fair to play, but already well undulating greens. Kudos here, really!
Unfortunately, the gastronomy is closed due to the corona, because otherwise the guest expects a good hotel quality that is absolutely fair in terms of price - this combined with a nice atmosphere in the hotel garden allows you to plan your next visit.

Extraordinary and tricky with claim
Reviewed December 17, 2020
Played on December 16,2020. Imagine it is the first day of the second corona lockdown in Germany, it is a sunny December day and in NRW all golf courses are now, nonsensically, closed. You then drive to the neighboring federal state in Rhineland-Palatinate, look for a nice place, even with summer greens, where guests are not undesirable even in Corona times. I found this place in Bad Sobernheim and even had it almost to myself. The course is not too far away from the A61, west of Mainz near Bad Kreuznach, on a hill in the middle of nowhere. If it weren't for the nearby B41, which you can unfortunately hear and see clearly, it would have been in absolute peace and nature. Due to the altitude, many of the lifts offer a wonderful view of the Nahe valley, when there is no fog or mist! Carts are offered, but are not really necessary for those with normal sporty ambitions, even if the way to the first tee and the way from 10 to 11 are a little longer. There are one or two steeper climbs, for example to the tracks 2/3 and 4/12, but it is not a mountain goat. The facility is connected to the Hotel Maasberg Therme Nahetal. There is no clubhouse! You pay the absolutely reasonable green fee at the hotel reception. As a hotel guest there is of course an additional discount. Non-hotel guests can receive discount vouchers from the Golfalbrecht or with the Golffeecard. A surcharge for golfers without a hologram is not charged in a thankful way that promotes golf. Since the hotel is currently more or less closed, I was probably served by the trainees, who were very nice and friendly and explained everything to me. I had reserved a start time in advance by telephone, but I was probably one of the few guests on the square that day. At least I only saw a single other player on lane 13 on the 4. I suspect there are few members and the place lives from the golfing hotel guests. Respect for keeping the course running in the situation, definitely not easy! The condition of the place was absolutely in order for the season and situation and better than many other member places. I cannot confirm some of the bad reviews from previous years. Yes, the hotel may have a small renovation backlog (TIP: change the carpets), as far as I could tell from the lobby and the manageable number of bunkers (mostly rather small) on the square have no gleaming white fine-grain Caribbean sand, but fairways, Tees and greens were absolutely fine. The greens are certainly a little smaller than "normal", but often tricky undulating but absolutely true. On a couple of greens the lawn was, for whatever reason, more brown than green, but that wasn't a problem. The layout of the place is rather unusual. It starts with 2x PAR 3, whereby the first tee, like a few other tee boxes surrounded by tall trees, is rather narrow. Although most tees are quite open, higher HC should take a few extra balls with you, as thick bushes devour warped balls when you are not off the tee. It is not without reason that the course has a relatively high standard despite "only" PAR 70. After the ascent to tee 2, you should also take the tee-off next to it on track 3 over a biotope, so you don't have to climb again. In the further course you play an extremely large number of doglegs (I counted at least five with almost 90 degree angles), here knowledge of the course is required, as sometimes blind and then possibly too long hits are difficult to find or lie in the adjacent fields. In some places you get the impression that the space was expanded / lengthened not so long ago through field acquisitions. At least my GPS did not recognize some orbits. The rating also seems to have been changed, as the specifications on the tee board were often different from those given on the scorecard. Incidentally, after 9 lanes you are not back at the hotel, but at the other end of the course, so that a 9-hole round doesn't really make sense if you don't take a shortcut somewhere. There are some interesting and tricky holes where strategy is more important than length, for example 18 (PAR 3, increased tee) where a ball-swallowing pond lurks in front of the green. I can absolutely recommend a rather unusual but varied round in Bad Sodernheim if you don't expect a well-designed and manicured place, especially since guests are absolutely welcome here!

Quiet golf course in beautiful nature
Reviewed October 13, 2020
It is a very demanding course for beginners and advanced. The fairways are narrow and the greens are small. Some tees are a bit uneven. The railways lead over and around the Maasberg, from here you have a great view. The course is very challenging to run, but enough golf carts are available at reception. The lanes are not very long, so it makes sense to forego length on some lanes and should play very precisely. The first time you should get to know the place and enjoy nature. With a cold drink on the beautiful terrace of the restaurant you shouldn't get angry about the score, if you play the course more often, very good rounds are possible. The course is especially recommended for beginners as it is not overcrowded and you can complete your lap in peace. This place is fun!!!

Beautiful place, well maintained, fast undulating greens, never boring.
Reviewed September 1, 2019
We were with our group two days in the hotel on the golf course and played the course 2x. First day Result well (many doglegs and water, some inclines, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide fairways, 4 balls lost, was a bit difficult), second day: really good, HCP played. Conclusion: the place should be at least 2x play and the driver sometimes stuck, play defensively, then he is really fun! Hotel: staff very attentive and nice, food and rooms very good, only bathroom a bit small. Price-performance ratio overall very good, therefore 5 stars. We will be back!

Interesting place - nice people
Reviewed August 30, 2019
I played the course for the first time in a tournament last week! Despite the heat, fairways, greens and tees were in very good condition. The course is not necessarily easy to play, but it is very interesting, has many par 4s and three par5. There are some biotopes and water, but they are easy to "play around".
Overall, I can say it's a great place! Quiet, lots of nature around and great views!

Same place?
Reviewed August 26, 2019
As I read the comment by RainerW, I wonder where the field is that I regularly play golf on. Perhaps the opinion of Rainer is based on a wrong assessment of the place: It is not played on the surrounding fields, but on the fairways - the border between fields and fairways are marked with white posts - where there are currently plaice, is the field, As a mediocre golfer, I suspect what he's talking about, because it's not always easy to avoid those fields. The place is not easy to play - but that's just the attraction.
Rainer should take the time for a second game on the Maasberg and this time play on the fairways, which are in a remarkable condition despite the drought. It would be nice if Rainer check his absolutely subterranean assessment and correct if necessary. That would make me happy as a member of the golf club Maasberg.

Can you forget!
Reviewed August 25, 2019
Buy a few acres of arable land, place 18 greens randomly on this area, dig a few holes and loosen up the soil - the bunkers are done.
We were there with 30 men's golfers and the unanimous opinion was: A real disaster, this place.
The fairways can not be described as such, it makes the appearance that greenkeeping is really only for the good greens, not for the fairways.
2 stars for the great scenery and the great views and the good greens. Everything else to forget.

Dear Rainer,
We are very sorry that you did not feel comfortable with us.
Nevertheless, your criticism is not justified. To illustrate, we have uploaded current pictures, to give the readers an impression of the good condition (including our Faiways ;-)). Because pictures say more than 1000 words.

If you want to annoy 18 holes...
Reviewed December 28, 2017
First the positive: the view - that was it but unfortunately!
The rest in the summary:
- instead of fairway there is only meadow with a lot of weeds
- many blind blows that land on strange tracks or balls that cross their own way without any warning
- In the winter fully paid green fee because of the summer greens to be recorded. These are significantly worse (fungal attack and uneven) than the winter greens of the neighboring GC's (eg GC Nahe!)
- The track 2 equal to 4 (!!!) times to run along does not make it more beautiful - and you are happy spontaneous about the course management.
- the whole area including "wellness hotel" gives a very nice insight into the 80's; Since then, nothing has happened here, so that you almost get pity - and certainly no desire for a refreshment after the round.
That was unfortunately the disappointment of the year!

As can be seen on our website, our place is currently closed for weather reasons and because of various planting until 20.1.2018, what the one or the other club member but unfortunately not observed. Unfortunately, the employee in the secretariat left you on the pitch anyway, which we very much regret.
Blind blows are actually only on one (lane 14), but there is a bar on which you can orient yourself. From the big tee-off boards on all tees and the scorecard, the course of the course with distances is clearly shown. What you mean by "balls that cross your own path" is not very clear to us, we suspect you mean players with great "dispersion" who do not call "Fore" in the event of an accident. The green fee with us is very cheap with just 45, - EUR for 18 holes.
They must have been pretty frustrated to break into our young club. Completely incomprehensible are your statements regarding "wellness hotel"; What makes you so unqualified about this house that you do not even know, that you have not even seen from the inside?

Beautiful landscape - Bad Place

Confusing conditioning, very laboriously without buggy. Blindabschlaege on half of the holes and on the hard floor verspringt the ball If you like to look for balls and is large enough Ersatzbaelle, may have its joy. I would have better enjoyed the magnificent views in this beautiful landscape on a round without rowdy.

Shutdown and Enjoy
Reviewed January 9, 2014
The place is just great! Interesting challenging holes, but they simply can be personalized with clever tactics, play!
A nature walk from the finest and most pure variety!
A place I would recommend to all golfers from beginners to advanced players highly. And to round out the beautiful round, the stop-off on the terrace or restaurant to a deserved drink at friendly restaurants (there is also a good chef).
Here one felt very welcome!
I'm looking forward to the next visit.

Once and never again!
Reviewed September 1, 2013
Played once and never again!
This course I can not really recommend!
Reductions partially so hard that you do not get the tee in the ground.
Most fairways are like a field, so that the ball I bounce off all possible directions and the greens are so bad that the ball does not roll but jumps!
The whole thing had of Cross Golf!

We'll be back!
Reviewed August 31, 2013
We played with a group of the golf course at the Meuse mountain and it has us very well fallen. We had no difficulty in reaching the short climb to the plateau (for golfers with no problem), but we would also be able to take carts because there are enough of them that did not come into question for us but we wanted to run. What's great is the beautiful view from all tracks on Bad Sobernheim or the panoramic view of the Nahe Valley. The fairways and greens were well maintained, some slightly undulating greens exceptionally there, so to play with tactics. Tea 18 ends at the hotel. We sat for a long time in the "Kurgärtchen" (the restaurant terrace). Note is the excellent cuisine and friendly service.
We'll be back!
