9-hole Lenne course
Reviewed August 27, 2021
Played on 8/25/2021. I had already played and rated the 18-hole course in 2015, so this rating only refers to my experience today. The facility is located west of Berlin between Brandenburg and Potsdam in absolute tranquility and nature. From the A10 motorway you can quickly reach the complex. In addition to the 18-hole course and the fully-fledged 9-hole course at PAR 36, there is also another public 9-hole short course that can be played without club membership. There is also a large driving range that is played on from several sides. The 9-hole Lenne course comes nicely without the big highlights. Hole 8 is probably the biggest challenge, as you have to hit a few meters from the tee over a water hazard to reach the fairway. Otherwise a few easy doglegs and well-placed bunkers. In particular, runway 5 should be mentioned here, where the bunkers absolutely come into play, which cannot necessarily be seen from the tee. Most tees are open. But you should stay close to the fairways to avoid losing the ball. Overall, the condition was okay. The fairways had a few daisies every now and then and the tees could also be moved more often. One or the other pitch mark too much on the greens but otherwise playable, even if a bit too slow for my taste. The lady at the counter in the modern clubhouse / pro shop was friendly and already there at 7:00 a.m. The green fee for 9 holes over € 30 on weekdays and € 40 on weekends is appropriate. There is also a sundowner from 5 p.m. (on both seats, by the way). There is no surcharge for golfers without a golden hologram in a way that promotes golf. You can also book tee times as a guest on the homepage. Depending on the day of the week and the weather, the game is played accordingly. During one round on an early, sunny but fresh Wednesday morning, the game was manageable. Overall, a golf course that has something for every taste. For a quick but full 9-hole training round, I can recommend the Lenne Course. If you want it more challenging, you should play 18 holes on the Fontane Course.

Always happy!
Reviewed August 29, 2018
Yesterday we played for the first time the Fontane Square, which is in a very good condition for the previous drought period.
The course offers varied tracks with perfectly created obstacles (water, trees and hedges). A birdie book made the game easier for us. The greens were good to play. A friendly welcome and the perfect atmosphere for guests have impressed us positively. Conclusion: always happy!

35 € Afterwork - tariff are ok, but...
Reviewed June 26, 2018
... the negative memories will probably outweigh.
- The fairways are very irregular and partly in bad condition
- The greens are uneven and often resemble a patchwork quilt
- The rough has US Open level - but without Birdiebook and tiny signs without length charges at the tee on many doglegs that is just annoying
Against hilly and above all the price after 17.00 o'clock - even if after the changing rooms are already completed - is nothing wrong. Therefore, there are still scarce 3 stars.

Dear Northern golfer,
Thank you for your rating and the open word. We regret that the game on our 18-hole Fontane Course has caused you discomfort. Their assessment of the quality of space, however, contradicts the daily feedback of our members and guests and is therefore difficult for us to understand. Unlike many other facilities in the Berlin-Brandenburg area, our Greenkeeper team has managed to keep the pitch in very good condition throughout the heatwave. Unfortunately, you seem to have missed the stand with our birdie book, which we offer for the Fontane Course, even when checking in at the golf reception.
The use of the changing rooms is up to the closing of the golf reception at 20.00 clock definitely guaranteed for guests. At a start well after 17.00 clock, it is quite possible that the clubhouse is locked in the return of the round and thus the changing rooms for guests are no longer available. This is unfortunately not otherwise possible for safety reasons.
Best regards

Beautiful place with surprises
Reviewed April 25, 2018
There is a 9 hole course and an 18 hole course. The 9-hole course is also suitable for beginners, but has everything a golf course needs. Respect for hole 8.
The 18 hole course is rather wirklcih HCP 40 and better. Here is quite hilly for Berlin conditions and the tracks 2/8/17 are exciting. The other ganches also go uphill a bit. Nice is the view from train 5.
Very busy at the weekend. Okay in the week.
The restaurant is rather average, as far as prices are concerned. It definitely has the shortest menu (I think 5 dishes) and you have to wait a long time.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Pleasant are the other players. Easy golfer. Not hole-19 striker.

Nicely landscaped - greens unfortunately poorly
Reviewed October 31, 2016
We played the course in late October.
It is landscaped beautifully designed and offers for players of all its challenges, which are however quite regarded as feasible.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. No "überkandidelten" members or guests. A great practice facilities including range.
Unfortunately the greens were not good backlash or calculable in a poor state and by fungal attack or the like.
This is all the more annoying when the pin positions are then also selected so that they are exactly in the affected areas of the greens.
If the greens look in autumn so, one would not imagine what they look like in spring. This is even more surprising when one heard from other players that they were in the summer of that. Since the Greenkeeper should go times in and work on it.
The green fee of 65 EUR during the weekend for the state of the greens too expensive.
On playing handicap effectively tournaments you do not like as like to think, because this can in 18 holes ever taste some puts.
Gastronomy is low. Taste it was not really our cup. But this is certainly subjective.
Conclusion: A cozy round you can do there. But would not be our "regular place".

A good option in and around Berlin
Reviewed October 19, 2015
Is a good alternative to other clubs in and around Berlin.
Large area with all facilities and training areas that you want. Family-space for everyone (and woman), 9-hole and 18-hole. Not quite "no" is not necessarily easy to play and - sufficient pitfalls and small vulgarities available :-)).
You can always find a gap for themselves to play.
Complex is well maintained and on site you can meet nice people - so the reception, in the restaurants, golf school and all the other people on the spot.
The audience is normal, friendly and helpful. One can not be a stranger in front (host). Prices are reasonable.

Everything is quite
Reviewed September 16, 2015
In my opinion (as a beginner) is here a total of beautiful and well-kept area; geographically attractive and quiet in several ways: scenically appealing and (at least during the week as far as the pressure on the path / lanes) relaxed.
I'm going to go back...

Beautiful and athletic
Reviewed May 31, 2015
The plant near the federal capital and in the immediate vicinity of the A10 (No noise from the motorway, but performs a rail line right past the site) consists of an 18-hole and a par 36; 9-hole course. I found the hilly layout (cart for normal ambitious sportsmen not needed) anything but boring. On the contrary, it has a lot to overcome to challenges in which high HC doing a rather difficult time. The condition was during my visit in May 2015, broadly in order. The Secretarial staff was very friendly and green fees, at least on weekdays is totally OK On a sunny Tuesday afternoon, I could immediately without prior notification and start playing alone. The members are helpful and can also play. A contract for players without hologram is unknown here laudably. I can recommend a round at the Fontane square very. ,

Layout without character
Reviewed June 6, 2014
Have played the square end of May 2014. The condition was good, the greens lacked a bit of loyalty. Unfortunately, no Birdiebook was available and the instructions were rather sparse.
The tracks I fande not very varied rather back and forth only the 18th hole has left a lasting impression
