Exciting ups and downs - never boring!
Reviewed August 18, 2025
The golf club welcomes players with a spacious, well-maintained parkland course on the historic grounds of Gut Escheberg. The first few holes are mostly flat, allowing for a good start. From the curve of the longest and most difficult par 5 on hole 4, the course climbs the slope. On the green of hole 4, or at the tee on hole 5, you've reached the highest point of the front 9 and enjoy a beautiful view back over the course to Gut Escheberg and the manor house. Holes 7 to 10 run idyllically through the valley and are beautifully laid out, with gentle doglegs and various water hazards in front of the greens.
The back 9 holes are steeply undulating throughout. An uphill path leads from the green on hole 10 to the tee box on hole 11. Once you reach the tee box, hole 11, a par 3, descends into a deep depression. Hole 12, a double dogleg par 5 with approximately 50 meters of uphill climbing, awaits. Once you reach the green, you'll once again be rewarded with an impressive view back over much of the golf course and the Habichtswald forest in northern Hesse. From the elevated tee box of the "signature hole" on hole 17, hole 18 and the clubhouse are within sight.
The layout is extremely varied, and the many elevation changes and views in particular ensure that the round of golf remains exciting and challenging throughout.
Back at the clubhouse, the terrace offers a view not only of the beautifully designed 18th hole, but of almost all of the holes on the front 9.
We visited with our motorhome. The gravel parking lot on the right is quite sloping. However, if the parking lot by the clubhouse is empty in the evening, you can park there. It's nice and straight. Just don't park sideways and block four parking spaces, but park in the normal line, just like you would park a car. It's very quiet at night.

Dreamlike golfing experience
Reviewed October 21, 2024
The course is embedded in a simply beautiful landscape. In autumn 2024 we had an Indian summer with brilliant, bright colours. A newly hired greenkeeper team has put the course in very good condition with lush, well-kept greens and well-mown fairways. These are varied and designed with high standards, it was great fun to play there.
There was good catering and from the terrace you had a great view over part of the square.
Conclusion: For us the No. 1 facility in Northern Hesse.

A sporting experience for committed golfers
Reviewed August 30, 2024
We really liked the course. It offers variety, sporting challenges, dangerous, ball-swallowing roughs.
Undulating, well-maintained greens, fairways in good condition.
You should take a cart, especially if you're playing in temperatures over 30 degrees like we did, because from hole eleven onwards it goes up quite high.
You can then enjoy wonderful panoramas of the northern Hessian mountains.
If you are there you should play this course.

Demanding topography
Reviewed July 29, 2024
We played the course at the end of July 2024 and were quite impressed with the layout.
Part of the course is located in a valley basin, which leads you up and down fairly moderately on the fairways and offers beautiful views of the landscape.
From the 11th onwards the topography becomes very demanding with steep inclines. If you are not good on your feet you should definitely use a cart.
But here, too, you can play exciting holes that are fun.
The condition was fine and the greens were in good shape.
From the terrace you have a beautiful view over part of the first 10 holes.

Sophisticated course with a fantastic location
Reviewed May 17, 2024
I really liked the course in Escheberg. The location is topologically very beautiful, the courses are varied and offer an exciting challenge. The course does require some fitness, a cart is definitely worth it here. The fairways are in great shape and very well mown, the mown patterns sometimes remind you of pictures from TV. The semi-rough and rough (the latter can be very dangerous for the score 😅) are also beautifully mown. The greens are lush and nice and short.
Of the three facilities in northern Hesse, I like Escheberg the best.
After the round, there is a restaurant with a very nice sun terrace that overlooks the first 9 holes. Here we were able to enjoy our drinks in a very relaxed atmosphere and had a very good meal.

On the way to former strength ⛳️
Reviewed May 17, 2024
A lot has happened here in the last few years since the operator changed. In addition to the course's ever-improving condition, golfers can also enjoy great catering afterwards.
The range of tournaments and courses is also growing.

A great transformation
Reviewed May 16, 2024
The last reviews are from 2018. The course has been in the hands of the club for 3 years and has now become a great, well-maintained course. Playing there is a must if you visit northern Hesse.

A real shame
Reviewed August 21, 2018
The place was certainly really good. The fairways - each considered individually - are interesting, sophisticated, but fair built. And that's it with the possitive.
Fairways brown & dried up, good - so have other facilities to fight. But the greens are heaped with sand just so, in addition to a lot of small branches, acorns, worm excrement & as a highlight deep tire tracks right on the pin!
Not to mention the dead mole on the fairway.
In addition missing signs on the tracks 5-9 - once had to drive 3 tea boxes to find my next Abschlg. And to get to tee 11, you have to run over lane 17 against the game direction (!).
By far the worst of the 5 places I've played in recent days in northern Hesse.

Playing in a field
Reviewed August 6, 2018
Last weekend I played the course for the second time and was very surprised at the misleading state of the course. Tees and fairways a single brown verorten surface, partly no grass to see, but play on bare earth. Fairways and tees have long seen no water. Only the greens were green and acceptable.
For such a place quality to demand the full green fee of 60 € is simply away a cheek.
It seems that the need for savings is very pronounced or that everything is designed to maximize profit.
I can not recommend the place but just discourage and refer to the other places in the hinterland of Kassel. These would have been the better torture.

The height differences to the appeal of
Reviewed August 6, 2016
The golf course is in a quiet location. The fairways are wide and the greens fair. Through trees, water hazards or bunkers space is playfully challenging. Each track has its peculiarities - is not always the shortest way, the better tactics. Just the elevation changes require good fitness and make the attraction. Driving range and practice greens are good. Staff friendly. De course is not crowded and a brisk game is possible. I would stay here again.

Exhausting
Reviewed June 23, 2015
A hilly parkland course, which first ten holes are wavy - and then comes a 400m longer increase as more strenuous does not exist in Germany. From then on, you go downhill, uphill.
Many tracks have a dogleg, many greens are not watching from the tee. The course requires a lot of tactical play, especially since most paths are flanked on either side by deep rough, where the ball often untraceable disappears. If possible, prefer to take a penalty stroke, than trying to hit the ball to knock out of the grass. In this respect it is similar to Royal Port Call.
The fairways are very well maintained, the bunker edges cut exemplary.
To the food I can not comment, because is closed on Mondays.

The most alpine space north of the Alps!
Reviewed April 18, 2014
I have since played on about 70 different golf courses in the world, but Escheberg for me is still one of the most beautiful. The place is so varied like no other. For me the best in Northern Hesse... and I also know all the others. The only bad is the light rating.

Uphill - downhill
Reviewed December 1, 2013
Hello,
The GC Zierenberg Good Escheberg is nestled in the Northern Hessian Hawk Forest, near Kassel, whose basis is the old historic manor house "castle mountain ash". The course is very demanding but also fair. On each track, the obstacles are clearly visible, extremely heavily defended the greens in part by bunkers and water hazards. The first nine holes are relatively easy to walk to tread. At least the way to the second nine hole requires quite a bit of stamina. Older players could here bekommem problems. Partly to get there before as in the alpine foothills. A cable car or chairlift would be to think ;-) Although the second nine holes are also interesting to play, however, is characterized by a steady up and down. Personally, I like it but because I likes sporty conditional challenges. Overall a comfortable and sporty in undisturbed nature with some ups and downs.
Greetings from Cassel
