Great day
Reviewed August 10, 2018
A very friendly and efficient check in upon arrival.
Played lakeside and woodside and enjoyed both courses Thoroughly, and considering how little rain there has been The fairways were in good condition.
Had a nice lunch in the restaurant and would definitely Return in the future to this excellent golf facility, good putting and training area also.

Beautiful Place
Reviewed October 17, 2022
Have played this very nice place (Woodside) with club members. The place is very spacious and is really fun for a varied game. Some water hazards and bunkers require exact play. Very nice view of the Alps and the lake, great clubhouse with an extensive shop.
3 points because Swiss players with a foreign club ID have to pay a fine of CHF 40.00! (Happened to me in no place and will therefore avoid this place in the future.)

Lake Side with Fantastic Views / Woodside looong!
Reviewed July 15, 2022
Of course you can discuss the green fee prices, but the two courses are definitely one of the best in Switzerland.
The pitches are always well maintained!
PS But what I don't understand this season is why various tea boxes are not released even though the grass has already grown a lot.
We are mid season in July and not April!

Every hole a challenge
Reviewed July 9, 2020
This time we're playing Woodside. The design is typical of a Rossknecht course. The most well-known German-speaking golf designer likes it more natural and unspectacular here too. As on Lake, the same applies to Woodside: there is no house around on many tracks. And when it does, it gets idyllic: a pretty hamlet with a (wedding) chapel is a visual highlight on holes 5 and 14.
The place where a pro tournament in the second highest category is held annually demands a lot from a playful point of view. With a number of holes, the teeshot has to cover larger distances up to the fairway. The fairways are mowed wavy on the side, so that even a good drive gets stuck in the dense semi-rough. And the greens are not extremely undulated, but they are fast. In addition, they are mostly undramatic, but well guarded. Particularly impressive are the first nine holes 3, a nice par-3 with a small lake to the left of the green and the 7, a long par 5 with a lake to the right at the beginning and at the end. The final from hole 15 is also convincing, but is quite demanding and can slow the run on Stableford points again significantly.
What makes the place difficult? First, the length and second, that there are no easy holes. Bogey or par always have to be worked out and it gets really tough, especially in spring, when the fields optically spruce up the space on both sides. Pure fun at the game is not the top priority at Woodside. The whole ensemble with club house, place and restaurant is a pleasure (even if the very high green fee price tarnishes them again).

Lakeside: nature, tranquility, variety
Reviewed May 10, 2018
Golf Sempachersee is an overall great facility! Directly at the imposing clubhouse starts the course Lakeside. The 18 holes meander through nature, there are hardly any houses to see - wonderful. The fairways are mowed heavily, which sometimes punishes a good drive, because the semi-rough is high and tough. In spring, the high rough is omnipresent (especially for slicers). But you will be rewarded with diversified holes. Especially beautiful, for example, hole 7 (par 3 in the forest) and hole 8 (par 5, which is "accompanied" almost from AZ by a water hazard). On the second half there will be individual holes that are not quite the same level (eg hole 14, a short par 3 - or the holes 17 and 18 which are quite close to each other). But even here, the difficult, undulating greens ensure that the par is not guaranteed. Why is not it enough for 5 stars? From sheer challenge (especially cut of fairway and semi rough) the fun factor for the recreational golfer is almost too short.

Top seats - Lakeside and Woodside
Reviewed January 6, 2018
Have both places already played several times and can not understand the ratings of individual players at all.
- Places are varied and especially Woodside challenging
- great design and fantastic views of Lake Sempach and mountains
- Tea boxes, fairways and greens and very good condition
- Clubhouse, wardrobes modern and contemporary
- professionally managed facility
For me one of the most beautiful plant in Switzerland!
Needs improvement:
- Information on the website when the equipment is being processed (scarifying, aeration, sanding, work on specific holes ect) and offer a reduction in green fees or otherwise a "goodie"

Beautiful place, great view
Reviewed May 8, 2017
Woodside played on 5.05.17 Friendly welcome, all the info you need.
Exercise equipment class, more than enough space for chipping and pitching, range with enough space to tee off, balls well.
Putting green near tee tee 1. Taps cleanly plugged, mown, brettleben. No boards, but Birdiebook from the secretariat get (necessary) A little confusing for me were the distance posts, which are not on standard distances, but individually at each hole. Read in the Birdiebook, unfamiliar.
Fairways good in shot, in some places still somewhat damp, on a few tracks still a bit 'construction site' because of new laid / drainage, but not disturbing. (Of course not all tested) The greens are still a bit bumpy, which is excusable, however, Since a week before there was still snow. Holes top engraved.
First nice day in a long time, therefore place quite well filled, but just under 5h are ok for the round on such a day.
Gastro very attentive
Conclusion: Nice area, everything in a good mood. Great place from the design, demanding, for the season good condition (would be curious as it looks in a month, especially the greens). Service Top. But not quite cheap...

EINMAAL AND NEVER AGAIN
Reviewed August 30, 2016
Have a tournament played and was very shocked by the condition of the course. Woodside it find very sad and unprofessional, if you do not even telling you these are sanded and punched the Greens again. It would not be correct if you would notify and organize a tournament. After complaining of all flights that were not responding to emails, but is way it is. You can see it and listen to it, that very many club members are dissatisfied and want to sell your membership, there is this says it all.

Nice... but overpriced.
Reviewed August 14, 2016
We played the Woodside on 12.8.2016, the place was playing super. but as a guest of a member, I paid still 130.-
By you could just live, but unfortunately the Greenkeeper seem to have totally overslept, not one train, we were able to play without having been mowed somewhere. It seems to be completely uncoordinated elapsed from Loch3 not even the tee markers were set. Pity's price performance is not, this also applies to the nice restaurant where the daily pasta is offered for 27.00 CHF.

Golf Sempachersee - no thanks (unfortunately)!
Reviewed June 23, 2016
I played yesterday the per se very nice Woodside Course. Unfortunately, the 4-Flight was so slow in front of us that I have unnerved canceled the round by 4 (!) Hours and only 12 holes played. No Ranger far and wide! respectively on an apology. Compensation I hoped in vain. The green fee for 18 holes I could have saved me... Too bad, because the location and the views are unique!
The restaurant food was very good, though a bit expensive. The wait staff was nice and accommodating. Even the chef has inquired about our well personally.

Dear Lukas Wyss alias RangePro
Thank you for your feedback on our systems. It would be nice if you could you stick to the facts. You've knocked on 22 June 2016 are around 1430 pm on the Woodside Course, having played 18 holes with the expectation to at 18.00. Please understand that this is not realistic in a Hochfrequenztag as June 22,2016, almost exclusively 4p Flights to the plant. Our staff at Frontdesk have already tried out to explain this. Also on this day rounds have been played a total duration of about 4 1/2 hours on our systems.
Too bad that you like as long-time junior member who was financial supported by the Sempachersee Golf Club for years, revanchierst on this way.
Best regards and see you soon

Golf at its best, but...
Reviewed October 12, 2015
Have played the Woddside-Curse several times this year. Summary: partly exciting and tricky to playing tracks. Playful very demanding. Length and precision are nearly equivalent conditions for a good score. The grounds are pretty well maintained, the greens accurately and quickly. I have seen the staff friendly and very helpful. The restaurant is okay but quite expensive.
But now the... The Golf Pass has its price. The green fee of 180 francs for a round of golf is quite steep, especially the place in an international comparison which value terms is not available at front office.

World class (Woodside)
Reviewed July 31, 2014
Have played Woodside. After the not really good reviews here my expectations were not very high.
The place is, however, highly recommended. Played on the first day after a month of nearly continuous rain. Other places were still closed from sheer water.
The condition of the course is so TOP. Only a little water on the fairways. Greens are mega (were sanded the morning - still no bump, etc.) Very fast and linientreu. As can be expected from a top place.
Played from the gold tees. Narrow and long course. For the Par5 holes also usually 3 beats are brought and difficult to reach in two shots.
Conclusion: - maintained TOP - TOP Place Nice staff can only recommend the place and would stay here again!

Miserables price / performance ratio

Great facility, but with poor price / performance ratio. The greens are unfortunately very slow and bumpy. Maintenance work on the court are not usually communicated and made the full green fee charged.
The view of Lakeside, and the length / difficulty of Woodside but are great.
