After the devastating criticism, we drove to the pitch with stomach aches. The weather was cold with drizzle. But we are still really excited about this golf course. The layout is probably one of the most beautiful that Germany has to offer. The price-performance ratio is great. The condition is more like 4 stars, as the bunkers call for some attention. However, all wild boar damage has been removed. Always worth playing again and again.

Oh dear
Reviewed May 21, 2023
How beautiful the place must have been. Many have raved about it. The English were probably still there. Really bad greens, fairways and bunkers. Tees placed in the middle of the fairway. It's a real shame, because in a scenic location in the forest, it could be really nice here. The one star is for the very nice lady in the secretariat. Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to tell us the condition of the course, otherwise we probably wouldn't have paid the full green fee. The second star is for a club member. The nice lady drove me in her car to the driving range 450 meters away.

Very British
Reviewed October 13, 2022
Just as you know the golf courses on the island. Signage was spartan but adequate for our navigation. The tracks themselves are pure quiet forest tracks and just beautiful. The greens were hard and fast - British standard. Downer were 2 haircuts that have been destroyed by wild boar. In addition, the showers were closed because we played on a Monday and everything was therefore closed.

Bad signage
Reviewed October 28, 2021
We played with a 2: 1 voucher on a Monday. Gastro and secretariat were therefore closed, so that I cannot evaluate these two aspects.
Tee times can be booked via Campo and unfortunately not via mycaddie...
Tee 1 is close to the parking lot and the clubhouse and is easily recognizable.
After that, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to follow the order on the course without constantly looking at the course overview on the StoreCard, if you have never played the course.
The holes are also only ever described for the men's tees - but not really helpful in their way. Overall, it was a course that required a lot of course management and was very varied in terms of the design of the holes and the landscape.
Right and left in the forest or something you shouldn't lie... The bunkers were so that you could get out again easily.
For example, there were few pitch marks on the greens. The fairways were with a lot of clover and always looked like a short-cut meadow. If this is planned for environmental and animal protection reasons, I think that's good. But anyone who expects a wonderfully well-kept place is wrong here.
I thought it was kind of nice that deer were jumping around and there were probably wild boars too.
Even if I am grateful that you can play there with a voucher: If I am close again, I would definitely prefer to play the university golf club. It was particularly special.

Outstanding
Reviewed September 2, 2021
Forest Pines is the name for the 18 hole course - in the truest sense of the word. Founded in 1963, this course is an absolute gem. We can fully agree with the evaluation of Smart66.
Played on 2.9.21 and absolutely thrilled. Fantastic, varied layout. The condition was - after many rainy days - very good. Medium fast greens. In some bunkers there was hardly any sand left due to the weather. But that was the case with all the clubs in the area. Some bunkers have already been refilled.
Finally, two more pointers: Before you start, you should check the website to see whether the access roads are all free. Avoiding maneuvers can cost a lot of time. The safest approach is via Bad Lippspringe.
The facility offers everything a golfer could wish for. Nevertheless, the DR and the chipping green are approx. 350 m away from the clubhouse and tee 1. But if necessary, you can also go by car. The Old Course is more than a short course. If you play 2x9 lanes you are only 600 meters shorter from yellow than on the 18-hole course. However, the Old Course is designed to be much more open. We didn't play the course, so no rating at this point. Gastro operator had to close Corona conditionally. Too bad - the clubhouse looked very inviting. A good alternative is the nearby "Fischerhütte".
Recommendation: must play

Nice forest lane

This beautifully upland forest path is really worth playing. Alternating, challenging holes with a great layout.

Sporty square with many challenges
Reviewed September 20, 2016
The place of the British Army of the Rhine is the place for sporty ambitious golfers. Due to the location in the Senne the 18th hole has grown in place nicely. In the distance you can hear something from Truppenübungsplatz. So do not be frightened if in the distance times a MG rattles...
Occasionally, a few trees stand but then in the way. The paths are well maintained, the fairways mowed and the greens in perfect condition. This, however, Superfast, the balls come only not to lie.
The tracks are very varied. Here are all the difficulties. Staggered webs, narrow passages, doglegs and water hazards in various forms. Telweise blind shots are required. My conclusion: Fantastic place!

Golfing under machine-gun fire...
Reviewed May 15, 2016
The natural course is in the military training area. Single and machine-gun fire took turns and were constant companions on the round. It's annoying in the long run very. The fairways run through the forest. The course and the fairways are not that great maintained, but often natural. They are often very bumpy and undulating as we know it from links courses. The bunkers have little sand and adapt to the fairways. The greens are well defended by bunkers. Partly undulating, relatively slow and not exactly on track. In addition, the putt is influenced by many flowers and small Astzweige from the trees again. Water is not as good as the game for blind shots are ever required. Friendly atmosphere.

Verry British!
Reviewed June 7, 2015
Absolute top spot in the dense mixed forest! The fairways gently undulating walk through the forest and undulating partly powerful!
A real showpiece place where one can sometimes even a couple of deer run into!
In Germany safe in the top 100!

Beautiful place in the forest
Reviewed May 9, 2015
The golf course is tucked away in the last corner of the former army terrain. If you have found it's all in the right place. Beautiful Club terrace with delicious food and friendly staff. The 18-hole course itself has been hit by the forest in the middle, always the left and right trees and shrubs, but also out there to play. Great tees, fairways with bunker obstacles, not much water but used to hole 12 very beautiful., Just to be played. The greens are hard and wavy, but playing great. A very nice place in the woods.

Golf among Englishmen
Reviewed July 31, 2014
The golf club with clear English roots (British Army) is on the outskirts of the newly Erstligastadt Paderborn an ingrown 18-hole parkland course and a PAR 34 9-hole course that can be played well even without HC. In the parking lot cars dominate with English flag and it is everywhere spoken English. But German is understood. The flat system (Cart not required) is easy to reach via the A33/B1. Since I've played the 18-hole course, "only", I can only rate this. It dominate from the first tee at tall trees which make it imperative to stay on the fairway, so I would advise the driver times to make more time in the pocket. The place is not very long, but there are well-placed bunkers, doglegs and some every now and then is sometimes a water obstacle in the game. Exceptional highlights I could not discover, yet it is not boring. After 9 holes you'll find it at the other end of the system and not back at the clubhouse, you should know that. The condition on tees and fairways was not outstanding as it always had bald spots, but the greens were in good shape and well equipped with a good speed. The atmosphere is casual, as is common in England. The clubhouse is not really the most modern and changing rooms I have searched in vain, so I had to change my clothes in the toilet of the restaurant / pub. The German standards as really cheap to be designated green fee, you pay at the pro shop or closed when there is the green fee mailbox. A negative experience was that before me a single player, before the two Flight with Cart were not allowed through by a front very slowly playing four Flight, so that we all not managed to play the last tracks in daylight even though we had then, of course, joined our forces. Something incomprehensible and hopefully not the rule in the club. Otherwise the matches on a Wednesday night was more manageable. So if you want time to play for little money parkland golf under British conditions and not styled Nobel plant expected to be in good hands here.
