I was thinking before I was playing here, that GOLF is a sport for GENTLEMAN!
Reviewed September 15, 2013
I was so silly to choose playing in a Golf Journal competition here, yesterday. Definitely, I was expecting all the players, included guests have the same rights and respect the same rules! It was awfully to see that local players broke the local rules, AND IS NOBODY FROM THE CLUB ALONG THE COURSE! When I ask them to play properly, they told me "go home, we don't need you here" ! It was the most embarassing thing for me in GERMANY, since 4 years...
The golf course is quite difficult, but challenging, mostly about avoiding the bunkers and water hazards. They have high grass, but they don't have Birdie book, for an example. There are several drawings on each hole, but a few of them NOT INCLUDED some bunkers, others were not updated, since the teeing ground was changed, for an example. They have something on the club's site, but even there is not corect, totally. Above all, was a disgracefully experience and a very unpleasant event managed by the Golf Journal. Not a single word about CHEATING : when players KNOW that nobody are supervising them, when they are 2 players from local club, and others are from different golf clubs... local players can play even 11 (ELEVEN !) strokes, on PAR 4... That's the game and the etiquette in METTMAN GOLF CLUB. Shame on it!!!

Golf in Martin Kaymer’s hometown
Reviewed August 26, 2024
Last played on August 24th, 2024. After a few years, I was back at the GC Mettmann facility in Martin Kaymer's hometown. The facility is located between Düsseldorf and Cologne, a few kilometers from the A3 in peace and nature in the direction of Bergisches Land/Wuppertal. From the parking lot, where the driving range and the 3-hole short course are located, you walk a few meters to the clubhouse, where we were warmly welcomed and served as guests. The clubhouse makes a modern impression. There is a restaurant, but we did not use it. The 18-hole course is slightly hilly, on hole 1 the tee-off slopes slightly down into the valley. On the back nine there are one or two holes that are a bit steeper. A cart is not necessary for those with normal sporting ambitions. There are 3 PAR 3s on the front nine, but only 1 PAR 3 on the back nine. Due to the topography, blind shots occur now and again and a bell must be rung for the following flight. The courses are mostly varied, there are doglegs, water hazards and well-placed bunkers. There are challenges for ambitious golfers, but the really big highlights are a little lacking, but it doesn't get boring either. The condition of the course was more or less OK, although the men's tees could be moved as they are very worn. There is obviously a mole problem and overall the fairways and greens were rather average. The current green fee of €80 on weekdays and €90 on weekends is a little too high but probably in line with the price level in Düsseldorf. There is no surcharge for golfers without a hologram, which is a way of promoting golf. With the Golfalbrecht there are 2:1 green fees on weekends too. Play on a sunny Saturday afternoon was generally manageable. We had booked a tee time online directly behind several flights from the golf school and then arrived directly at the first hole. But they let us play through. It would have been sensible to block a few tee times behind the golf school. The one who didn't let us through was a flight of four members on the back nine, some of whom had high HC. And here, for some incomprehensible reason, they kept putting until the end and didn't move quickly. That somewhat spoiled the golf experience in Mettmann. Basically, you can't go wrong if you play a round in Martin Kaymer's hometown if you're not expecting a luxury course. 5 stars is a huge exaggeration in comparison. With good will, 4 stars max.

A highlight in the Düsseldorf area
Reviewed August 23, 2024
A very well-maintained course with very interesting fairways and beautiful topography. Certainly a highlight in the Düsseldorf area. The club welcomes you in a friendly and helpful manner and you immediately feel welcome as a guest. A cart is not absolutely necessary, but it makes the round more relaxed.
The gastronomy is also recommendable.

Here playing golf means making friends
Reviewed February 18, 2021
A wonderful place where the game of golf also becomes a nature experience. The open nature of the members and the pleasant atmosphere in the club restaurant (on the terrace in summer) make the day of golf seem like a vacation day.

Super Site
Reviewed August 4, 2020
I played over 10 courses around Düsseldorf. Mettmann is the best for me. Super well maintained, the courses challenging, but fair; hilly, but not a mountain goat place. The greens on track despite the hot summer. The paths between the tees with two exceptions short and paved.
The water hazards are visible and sometimes really beautiful. For example, a small water lily pond with a couple of 3. Well, where do you have that? A great vacation day in the Neandertal!

A really beautiful place!
Reviewed August 23, 2013
As a beginner, I have started this year on this place my first year as a trial member of a golf club. Although I have not played a lot of places, but quite a few others.
Mettmann has (almost) everything you need beeen place. No train is like a different, slightly hilly, water hazards, really really good. The only thing I miss are short PAR3's. The shortest of money is about 155m and the uphill. Then there is only 175m. On the other hand, the place is long and thus correspondingly high.
The best thing in my eyes that speaks almost every track on its own, ie. there is rarely visual contact with neighboring railways, which I personally find very pleasant.
The practice facility is good, the clubhouse as well, friendly players. Everything was great.
Would always want to play this course again and again, even after many rounds now.
The condition is also very good, although I can not rate this as good. Well I find it good :)

Great Meadow

In essence, Crazy Horse is right! This is really a successful golf course with beautiful ponds and zero boredom. To my mind there is only one weak point: In the morning, there should be a discount green fee. 8 before but no one bothers. In any case, Mettmann does not hide behind the established clubs near D'dorf.

Adult court
Reviewed January 14, 2011
Hello and therefore, the Ruhr and everything around it has a little problem that the 18-hole golf courses are compared with such places in USA but very closely knit. The square is just enough to give out for 18 holes.
Not so this place! He has grown up and sophisticated. There are semi-rough, under the trees, so you always have a chance to play with a recovery impact another pair. So it needs to be. Here it goes up and down, barely a fairway is straight. Who makes here also applies elsewhere. The most beautiful is the really long walk. The place is like an adventure expedition. Top greens. It will not be boring. I think it is the best place to Dusseldorf. He deserves a good review on 1golf. Here it is. I'm (still) not a member there, so all honest here.
