Characteristics
The Rethmar Golf course designed by the Arnold Palmer Corp. is rated among the best in Germany. Situated in the middle of Lower Saxony, this dune course is a dream come true: On a terrain of 290 acres, a first-rate 18-hole golf course was set up. While each of the 18 holes has its own character, the lake, the dune, and the hill courses form a harmonic unit that is probably never to be found again in Germany.

Exciting course, domestic links
Reviewed October 5, 2023
We had a very windy day, which didn't necessarily make the course any easier, but it gave us a real left-hand feeling. The condition was good and we had a nice round. We were allowed to spend the night in our motorhome in the parking lot. The restaurant would actually have been closed that day, but since there was a small celebration going on, we were spontaneously allowed to choose from two dishes. Very good taste and huge portions for a very reasonable price. We were looked after very attentively by the boss. Thank you.

Nice place with Ireland feeling
Reviewed August 21, 2022
Played again after 6 years. Still the same pleasure.
Got better and longer - that was my undoing. A lot of balls disappeared in the rough and then it got difficult here

Successful imitation - still disappointing
Reviewed September 25, 2020
Played in June 2020, handicap 12
Yes, the imitation of a "left" square has been successful in many respects!
Brutal rough - if you ever find the ball again, you need very good technique and strong wrists to get it back into play. Delicate women's hands hardly have a chance - but the ladies are always lying on the fairway anyway ... ;-)
Lots of blind strokes - somewhere behind the next hill the track will definitely continue. Unfortunately, the player who is unfamiliar with the location does not always know exactly where - some high stakes or similar directional aids would be appropriate here. For this reason, too, the use of a cart is recommended - with it you can quickly drive to the next hill and see whether the flight ahead is already out of range and where a landing zone is possibly.
In addition, the use of a buggy is advisable as protection against the strong, left-wing typical wind (even if hard-core Scots might ask - wind? Which wind?). For us inland residents, this wind is actually the biggest challenge. The motif is the same throughout - determine from where and in what force it is blowing, choose the right club (easily up to 3 irons more or less than usual) and then Hit the ball in / against / with the wind so that it is blown as far as possible and not into the rough!
There are no other notable challenges - the railways are very similar overall, almost boring. Sorry, I would have expected more originality from the well-known designer (Palmer).
The largely barren landscape is similar to the left (you can like it, but you don't have to). Unfortunately, quite disgusted, you can see the electricity pylons, wind turbines and the two fat (cooling?) Towers of a nearby power station.
On the other hand, atypical to the left:
Sure - no sea nearby, so it CANNOT be LEFT.
As a kind of compensation there are some water hazards (which you will look for in vain on real links courses), which can actually be in play on approx. 5 to 6 lanes.
You won't find the typical Scottish pot bunkers either. This of course makes the place a little easier, especially since the numerous and large existing bunkers are EXZELLENTly maintained! Very fine, very playable sand of the best quality!
In general - the maintenance condition:
Greens, fairways, semi-rough, tees, bunkers - everything is TIPP-TOPP in good shape. Huge compliments to the greenkeeping team!
Unfortunately, the greens are also a bit boring overall - not particularly large, but hardly undulating - 3-putts shouldn't actually occur.
My general disappointment is not due to the fact that it is not a "real" link, but rather from the very high expectations. The place is always sensationally praised and rated high - but in my opinion you have to make too many compromises (few original paths, boring greens, ugly landscape, too many blind strokes).
Conclusion: I would like to play the course again - but only when I have "worked through" all the other courses in the area. Very good 3 stars (especially for the green keeping) - unfortunately it is not enough for more. (In the "Golf Bear Ranking": 6 out of 10 points.)
