A very well maintained place
Reviewed September 1, 2023
Pleasant round, fairways and putting greens in good condition, the course was still a bit wet but still easy to play. Not that difficult, it's fun, the greens were very good. The restaurant afterwards has good home cooking and is reasonably priced. In any case, highly recommended.

Nice place and very nice staff
Reviewed August 17, 2023
We came specially from Annaberg Bucholz (Erzgebirge vacation) and were not disappointed. The condition of the place was top, juicy, carpet-like fairways, great greens. The staff in the secretariat (Jan) and the staff in the gastro were very friendly and friendly.
Downer, but the GC can't really do anything about that, a slowly playing 4-way flight. The marshal would have liked to be able to intervene, because obviously the gentlemen in the etiquette course hadn't paid attention to the topic "let them play through".
But that is unfortunately often a problem in most places.
Otherwise space, facility, staff and gastronomy can only be rated positively.

Beautiful Round
Reviewed August 13, 2023
A successful round of golf. The place is well maintained and plays easily, the greens could be faster. Service in the club house and especially in the really good restaurant is very friendly and competent. By far the best of the 3 we've played here.

Nice game
Reviewed August 7, 2023
The place is designed interesting, a bit hilly, rather less water. Varied, something for everyone.
Some deductions "from the height". All in all, not overly difficult, but definitely challenging.
The grass was surprisingly lush for the time of year and the course was even a bit wet at times. Overall well maintained.
Clubhouse and gastronomy perfectly fine.
In contrast to other commentators, I only heard the Autobahn very slightly on two/three holes (certainly depending on the wind) and the view of the city (certainly not a beauty) is only available in a few places.

A great place - top condition of the greens, fairways and tees
Reviewed May 23, 2023
First things first. Thanks to Albrecht Golf Guide, we included this course in our travel plans, because we like to be accompanied by our four-legged friends. We stayed at Cihelny Golf and Wellness Resort. The golf receptionist recommended us to play Sokolov as well. A tip that we will always be grateful for, because this course has an exciting layout and is a lot of fun to play golf. The wide fairways also allow drives away from the ideal line. The fairways were like carpets, the greens were in top condition and the tees were very well maintained. Mowing was done around the bunkers during our round, so the bunkers are also maintained here. That golfers are too lazy to rake the bunkers - well - etiquette doesn't seem to be known to everyone.
The previous reviews report of unfriendliness. I can not confirm. At the reception we could speak German instead of English. The fact that the staff in the restaurant didn't understand German and sometimes only a little English - isn't a problem, it's a problem of our time. Finding employees also makes everything more difficult in this industry and sometimes the demands of travelers in a foreign country are just too high. In any case, we were served very politely.
Playing this course is pure joy. The handicap rating was surprisingly high for us. But on a good day - you can definitely play your handicap if you strategically plan the individual lanes beforehand. We hope that we can play this beautiful course again, because the street noise is not disturbing.

Almost everything good
Reviewed September 28, 2022
The course is in very good condition. The layout demands length and precision. Nevertheless, the course is good to play and also forgives some failures. Four stars would be appropriate if it weren't for the disinterested, slightly unfriendly lady in the secretariat. Pity!

Beautiful facility - unfriendly
Reviewed September 28, 2022
I played Sokolov with friends in September 2023. the facility is very nice, the greenkeepers do an excellent job. The lanes are in excellent condition. You can say that everyone can play the course. The greens are aerated every 6-8 weeks, unfortunately we were not made aware of this. We were also not told that there was a tournament on this day (a flight with 6 people). Which limited the fast playing already very much. After asking the manager, I got the feedback that this was on the notice board. I award 3 stars because the negative cannot make up for the beautiful place.

Nice place, staff including club manager very unfriendly
Reviewed September 26, 2022
We played the course in September 2022. The 18 holes are beautifully laid out, varied and well integrated into the terrain. The fairways are wide and playable for everyone. The condition of the place was very good. According to the club manager, the greens are aerated every one to two months. Unfortunately, this is not pointed out either in advance or on the day of the match. This was very disadvantageous for our booked EDS rounds for 2 flights. Unfortunately, no one was informed that a rabbit tournament (Texas Screamble) with flights of 6 was taking place in front of us. When we asked the club manager, we were told that the start list was posted at reception and on the bulletin board. The unfriendliness of the club manager was unfortunately also transferred to the lady at reception. The place deserves 5 stars, unfortunately only 3 stars can be given due to negative personal experiences.

Beautiful golf course
Reviewed July 25, 2022
We played the course on July 22,2022 in fantastic weather. The place was in perfect condition. The greens were probably slotted some time ago and are a bit slow, but stay on course. Due to the long drought, the fairways are no longer very green in some places, but they are well maintained.
The young man at reception was very friendly and helpful. The course is challenging but never unfair.
Before and after the round we visited the gastronomy. Very friendly staff and the food was excellent.
We will definitely stop by more often.

A place that I happily recommend to play
Reviewed May 31, 2022
It must have been well over 10 years since I played here. It's very nice to see how a golf course develops in this way. The place is now much more overgrown. For the first 9, we were a little accompanied by the distant street noise. The views are not always so natural. That's why I can't give full marks.
Hilly and sometimes longer distances between the tees are of course no problem with a cart. In addition to the course in Hazlov (Franzensbad), Sokolov was in the best condition at the beginning of May: juicy roughs and quite good greens, sometimes played blindly, were fun.
A friendly welcome and a beautiful terrace frame the round of golf.

Demanding and well maintained
Reviewed May 11, 2022
The complex is well maintained and the location and layout are very interesting. The course offers challenges for all handicaps and it often goes up and down. View of the old coal mining region, not always nice. A cart can be a good idea, but not a must.

Very nice and exciting place in Sokolov
Reviewed April 28, 2022
The third stop on our tour through West Bohemia, at the end of April 2022 with the motorhome, via the most beautiful golf courses in the region, was the Sokolov Golf Club. The course has existed since 2006 and has since developed into a real highlight. Here, too, we were allowed to spend the night with our mobile home in the parking lot and also use an electrical connection at the driving range building free of charge. All employees (in the club and in the restaurant) were extremely friendly and courteous. The course was in very good condition for the early part of the year and it is very interesting in terms of its layout and designed with a lot of taste and love. A big compliment goes to the obviously very committed greenkeepers. The Terain offers a very varied game, because of the hilly and partly mountainous landscape, there are some impressive height differences to be overcome. This makes the round across the square a challenging experience with a few special highlights.
For the quality of the course and the value of the experience, the price-performance ratio is very good here and there was also a special season opening discount.
The game was a lot of fun and the facility is definitely worth a visit, as is the visit to the excellent club restaurant.

Sokolov is worth the trip
Reviewed September 14, 2021
Have played the course for the first time. It's amazing what you can do with an abandoned coal mine. Everything has actually been said in the previous review. Hole 5 and 11 with a large difference in altitude are particularly great. The halfway house after hole 10 is also good for a little rest. Motorway noise negligible. Gastronomy with a beautiful terrace offers a good selection. All round a successful day of golf. Either leisure breaks or Tuesday and Thursday senior days. It is also worth traveling a little further. We'll be back for sure.

Always gladly again
Reviewed June 17, 2021
Played on June 15th, 21st The terraced golf course (former coal mine) has everything a golfer's heart could wish for! Wide and narrow fairways, water hazards, elevated tees, fast, sometimes very undulating greens. It's always fun to play here, price around 50 euros green fee per person or with a voucher book 2 for 1, this course is worth every penny! Gastronomy has a very good kitchen and moderate prices. Small pro shop with registration, friendly staff (good knowledge of German).

Fantastic place
Reviewed October 15, 2019
We have Sokolov on 14.9. played and were enthusiastic. Super fairways (you walk on a carpet) good greens, the tracks very varied.
The course has some long paths between the tracks, but can easily cope without a buggy. The highway runs parallel only on 2 tracks, which does not bother much.
Very friendly staff.
A place that we will gladly play again on our next visit to the Czech Republic.

We were disappointed: fairways not mowed longer, the grass and the side rooms decided too high, the bunker is not processed... We are tournament players in the home. Foreign countries. This was one of the most neglected places. The greens were fine though.

A place that is fun
Reviewed October 6, 2018
We were at the beginning of September in the squares of Marienbad, Chihelny, Kynzwarth and Sokolov. The ambience in Sokolov on the former mining dump was clearly behind the other places, but!!! It was the place with the biggest fun factor. Great tees and a successful design can overlook some defects. We will definitely stop by again.

A good place, but certainly no 5 stars
Reviewed August 30, 2017
Sukolov is a relatively new place, opened in 2005, built on the site of a former mine. Old trees are few. The staff is very friendly, the prices OK and the clubhouse so la la. The fairways are well maintained and the greens were - although shortly before sent - impeccable. Especially the second 9 are very beautiful and creative integrated into the terrain. The course is very fair and for each player to master. Negative you have to note that some trains run directly on the highway. Certainly a solid place, but certainly no more than 4 stars.

Beautiful, hilly landscape, nice, challenging playgrounds, a tadellose place.
The tracks 4.5 and 15 were for me the more beautiful courses, whereby actually no course of the other resembles.
Greens unfortunately a bit slow and dull, but otherwise a place you would certainly play a second time.

The surprise
Reviewed September 19, 2016
A very well planned and set in the landscape space, boasting some Signature Holes and most interesting tracks. still not the easiest place - While there are many balls again. But fun is guaranteed. Again and again one has fantastic views over the beautiful surroundings.
In a few years, when the course is set, grown the trees - then the place has the potential to assess "fabulous". Clubhouse and restaurant are already on an excellent road.

A must!
Reviewed August 16, 2016
The course is designed and built professionally, fairways and greens in top condition, the rough consists largely of rough pasture, so you can find and continue playing his balls well. Varied paths and not too heavy. The value for money is here - in contrast to the "obvious venerable places" excellent. Friendly welcome and decent Gastro. We played Sunday after a tournament and there were no problems. The operators also do not take as important as in Karlsbad and Marienbad

We played the course in August 2016. greens and tees were presented in very good condition. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Without knowledge space we ended up more often in water hazards that were so not recognizable. The second 9 we played much better. Maybe we got used to the place.

Great Place in prime condition
Reviewed May 29, 2016
We played the course in Sokolov one week after the last review. If the state has been bad and not well maintained as described there, the Greenkeeper have accomplished a miracle in a few days. The place was namely in top condition, the fairways, the best for a long time. So "airy" and "spring" that it was a pleasure to beat them. The greens were also very good, fast and true.
A beautifully landscaped space, in which the architects have taken great pains. Heavy, but not unfair. Beautiful haircuts "from above", a little water, but if, then right...
Given the friendly team comes at the clubhouse and also about the food there is nothing to complain about. the space Easy to find is, when you come over the motorway.
Yeah, you see the "Skyline" map of Sokolov with its prefabricated buildings, but who is to disrupt that? And the highway can be heard, but we did not mind, a noise barrier is indeed available. Sokolov? Gladly again!

Disappointing
Reviewed May 20, 2016
Care unsatisfactory condition.
Overall, the course and the surroundings of the fairways made a upkeep. On 1 / 3The tracks the traffic noise from the highway are well heard.
Unlike the other courses in the area is the environment, overlooking Hochäuser and chimneys not so inviting.
In this place I would forego another visit.

Great Place with great clubhouse
Reviewed July 4, 2014
At 04:07:14 played. Place in top condition. Very varied and fair play. Fast greens and lush fairways. The only drawback: It was not to have a Cart but since I had not reserved that's my fault. However, the absolute hammer is the kitchen: I have rarely eaten so well and never had as low of a golf club. We'll definitely be back.
But then with Cart because the place is very hilly and therefore very busy with trolleys.
