Very idiosyncratic pricing model
2.0 of 5 starsReviewed October 18, 2024
We recently played this course. Our impression of the course was overshadowed by the price structure and the sometimes bizarre arguments used to justify it. The course is OK, the greens were fast, the tee boxes were not very even in places, and the fairways were not mown short enough when we visited. However, the price expectations spoiled our experience. We came with a 2-1 voucher and were then asked to pay a green fee of 85 euros on weekdays, which is the regular green fee, according to the secretary. Golfers with an R mark on their club card, which we have, only have to pay 65 euros. However, the 2-1 voucher costs a higher amount, as the rate with an R mark already represents a discount and 2 discounts are not possible - this argument is, with all due respect, cheeky! The Golf Guide 24 also states a green fee of 65 euros WT. One gets the impression that they want to attract golfers to the course with 2-1 vouchers and then simply increase the price base to maximize revenue. Very annoying, for us this was the first and last visit here!

Dear guest, our green fee prices are clearly visible in the price list published on the Internet and in the Albrecht Golf Guide, at €85 without an "R" marking or 2:1 and are discounted to €65/€75 with an "R" marking. Double discounts are not possible.
It is also pointless to try to extort a desired price by making multiple, extremely rude visits to the office and threatening to give a bad rating. Your criticism also seems strange when you look at the newspaper reports from the championship that took place immediately before.
Outstanding golf course in Pottenstein at the German Team Championships AK18 Boys
The German team championships for the 18-year-old boys in Pottenstein were not only a sporting highlight, but also an event that will be particularly remembered thanks to the outstanding golf course. Pottenstein Golf Club provided the perfect stage for the prestigious tournament and impressed players and spectators alike with its unique design and scenic beauty.
As soon as you entered the course, it quickly became clear that Pottenstein is something special. Nestled in the picturesque Franconian Switzerland, the course presented itself with a mixture of rolling hills, dense forests and wide fairways that were not only visually impressive, but also presented the highest golfing demands. The demanding course demanded everything from the young players: tactical skill, precise shots and a clever game strategy. The differences in altitude on the courses in particular provided additional challenges that made the competition even more exciting.
Each hole was designed to offer players new challenges. The greens in particular required the utmost concentration - with their subtle slopes and fast surfaces, they required the utmost sensitivity even from the best putters in the tournament. But the real appeal of the course lay in its versatility: from risky drives to narrow fairways to cleverly placed bunkers that mercilessly punished every mistake, Pottenstein offered everything that makes a golfer's heart beat faster.
Despite these challenges, the players praised the course highly. It was not just the level of difficulty that made the Pottenstein Golf Club stand out, but also the outstanding care of the course. The fairways were in impeccable condition, the rough was dense but fair to play, and the greens were lightning fast and precise. The attention to detail and the care with which the course was prepared testified to the high level of professionalism of the venue.
But Pottenstein was not only a pleasure from a playing perspective. The view of the surrounding landscape from various courses gave the tournament a special atmosphere. The picturesque backdrop of Franconian Switzerland with its rock formations and green valleys made the game an experience that went far beyond pure competition. Many players and coaches agreed that Pottenstein is one of the most beautiful courses in Germany and represents a special challenge that the participants will remember for a long time.
The unique combination of scenic beauty and golfing standards made the Pottenstein Golf Club the secret star of the championships. The course ensured that every shot was well considered and rewarded those who were willing to take the risk. At the same time, it also offered moments of enjoyment and relaxation - exactly what a first-class golf course should do.
Overall, the Pottenstein Golf Club contributed significantly to the success of the German AK18 Boys Team Championships. The players had the opportunity to demonstrate their skills on one of the most demanding and beautiful courses in the country, and the audience experienced first-hand how challenging and fascinating golf can be. Pottenstein has once again proven itself as a venue for high-class tournaments and is likely to continue to play an important role in German golf in the future.

Great place in Franconian Switzerland. Many visual highlights, for example with the rocks typical of the area. Long par 3, long par 5 lanes are challenging. Gastro and Secretariat are great.

An exceptionally beautiful golf course set in the hilly landscape. The courses are very varied. The condition of the entire facility was also exemplary! It is therefore worth a longer stay in this great facility, especially if you are travelling in a motorhome like us. Very nice view of the surrounding area.
We would definitely like to come back.

Everything worked out magically
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed October 7, 2023
I've played the course 6 times now and am fascinated every time.
From A for tee to Z for magic, everything was successful.
Course is challenging, with many bunkers protecting the FW and green, as well as some tricky short par 3s. e.g. B hole 12 A visit is worth it. The club also offers a great 9_hole practice course with 3 times PAR4 for “beginners and those trying out”.

Nice place, but…
3.0 of 5 starsReviewed October 5, 2023
It's a very nice place. Very varied and the condition was OK for the year.
But I have to agree with the other commenters, the pricing is quite strange. Green fees normally cost €65 for 2 people, so €130. That's OK so far. But with the 2 for 1 voucher it suddenly costs €85. It is also written that way. A suggestion for the future, why not just offer a 30% voucher, that's pretty close to the current pricing.
If we are in the area again we will definitely come by again.

It's a pity that you take a special price at 2:1, which assumes a green fee that is 20 euros above the normal green fee, something like that is very rare.

Great scenic golf course
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed June 6, 2023
On our camper tour we were able to play this wonderful golf course near Pottenstein, which is very interesting for tourists, and spend the night in the lower parking lot.
The tracks are very varied, the fairways wide, but the rough devours every ball. Condition, although quite dry, top, the greens are very well maintained and stay on track. It's quite up and down, you're in Franconian Switzerland and so there are tracks that have a lot of altitude difference. Water doesn't come into the Apiel that often, most of the streams had dried up. We had wonderful weather and would have liked to have dined in the much praised restaurant, but unfortunately it was closed on Monday. We also learned that the owner and chef, heart and soul of the restaurant, had died unexpectedly and we now have to see how things will continue... we then drove the 2km to Pottenstein to have dinner there.
Overall this was an absolutely beautiful place and we definitely recommend it to anyone who comes around!!

My wife and I played the course on May 7th, 21st, as the first in the series of our vacation. Arrival by mobile home. Parking space no problem. While there are no designated RV sites, one has been found. Electricity not a problem, a solution has been found. Office staff super super friendly. Place demanding but was really fun to play until the weather "struck". We are not good weather players, but with horizontally oncoming rain + snow + hail paired with squalls, we had to break off after nine holes played. In the office, ok, when it gets better I just keep playing. Conclusion, nice place, and great employees. We will be back.

OK
3.0 of 5 starsReviewed August 3, 2019
Played on 30.7. 2019. The first impression was somewhat negative, because we came with Albrecht voucher book. Grandpa Johnny was right in a previous review. Due to the dry summer, the fairways were burned out and therefore hard. At other places in the vicinity at the same time but found very green fairways. Correct grounds for criticism offer the greens despite irrigation. Are partially properly battered. There is an absolute need for action here. On the driving range you can only refuse from mats, although before large green areas in the best condition are available. Very positive is the gastronomy.

Good place with deficits
3.0 of 5 starsReviewed September 15, 2018
Very friendly secretariat and restaurant.
The place itself is in good condition for the very dry summer. Only the greens are not great. Scenic very different. About half of the holes are beautifully off in a forest. The other half partly very loud by busy roads in the immediate vicinity and other attractions in the vicinity. The course design is good and fair and fun.
A place to play but not necessarily play.

Scenic place, which, however, suffers from incorrect distance specifications.
The greens are currently below the level of a winter greens. The Hafewayhouse is absolutely great and the 19th hole fits perfectly.

Dear Mr. Harley, thank you for your critical assessment, however, be noted that the distances were measured only in the fall of DGV and therefore, are probably correct. Due to the weather not good greens of green fee rate of 75 to 35 € is appropriately reduced and reflects the situation thus probably sufficient account.

After playing the course ever years ago, this time I have a 15-member group performed on the system due to the then positive impression. All other did not know the place. Despite bad weather, the plant made a good impression on my teammates. Service, especially in the hospitality great.
Unfortunately, one puts on presentation of coupon books calculating a higher amount based on how constitutes the normal green fee.
So the discount / savings in 2for 1 is therefore not 50%, but less. That would be posted on the homepage or in the coupon book - is not okay!

Waiting times at a discount
2.0 of 5 starsReviewed July 13, 2014
Beautiful space, scenic, well maintained, individual design of the tees. Case generous, clean bathroom facilities.
BUT: By 8-minute start-rhythm you are already on the second tee and wait. This waiting extends over the entire 18 lanes!
RESULT: You need for 18 holes on a private round more than 5 hours! On our round no Marshall was to see which causes the flights to more speedy game. At the discounts are notes "If you have used this far more than 3 hours, you need to speed up your game" - sorry, but that is a mockery. Should I hit my front-flight in the hook?
Interpretation on my part: The Weekend green fee of 60 euros is "cashed" but a customer and service orientation and organization in particular in terms of game flow is not offered as consideration.

Tolerates a place of much rain, 2 days of rain and not a single puddle remarkable! However, the greens were certainly also due to the long winter in very poor condition. I have therefore only awarded 3 stars because, no evidence came from the Secretariat.
Gastro price peak performance!

Only criticism is that the greenkeepers could be more friendly, and could grússen otherwise any comments or gestures should contain.
