Everyone their opinion, but...
Reviewed October 9, 2021
I really don't understand how to give this place less than three stars.
After several visits between 2012 and 2014, we are here again this year with a larger tour group. Like back then, everything was great all round. Very nice service in the reception and also in the restaurant. The justified advice from the Marshall to speed up the game was also conveyed in a friendly manner.
The place was in excellent condition. The greens stay on track and the fairways, even in mid-October without any annoying flaws. We played all the courses in the area and have to say that this is by far the best.
All fellow travelers were also very impressed by the setup. Diverse and challenging. The handicaps of the players range between 6 and 35.
Keep it up for the golf club!
For those who write such disastrous reviews, please gain experience first and only then express it.
It would be a real shame if guests who read something like this refrain from experiencing this beautiful place.

Like vacation in Leipzig
Reviewed September 2, 2018
The course is well embedded in a quiet location about 20 km from the city center.
Almost every train has water, bunkers or other obstacles and therefore despite the vastness demanding to play. Especially the deep bunkers, which you should definitely avoid. The place is always well maintained.
Inviting is the start on the driving range. Here you get at least once ordinary balls, which increases the joy even more.
In addition to the gigantic island green on the 18 and the clubhouse you have a great halfway hut.
If you go after the creators you have the feeling as a golfer, you play well organized and feels like on vacation... with a sandy beach and water on the 18 it is visually really great. Only the green fee is a bit too high, the 90 € for guests is a bit expensive... but absolutely worth it!

Beautiful plant
Reviewed August 27, 2018
All in all, I would like to agree with all the recent positive reviews. The flat landscape you have to accept and here was something quite varied made of it. Only the lanes 15-17 I found now not overly exciting, but compensated for the 18 again with a beautiful island green. Here it is also worthwhile to linger on the terrace at the attentive and very good gastronomy and attend the rapprochement on the 18; o) I was a little disappointed but then from the sanitary tract (not as far as the cleanliness!). Here I would have expected something more at a plant like this, but the question is whether you do not want to or can not change here (after what was invested in the square, I guess rather the latter).
Overall, a recommendable beautiful place, which was also good over the long-lasting drought.

Madness
Reviewed June 12, 2018
So I have to say, here are all great efforts to offer the guest player a perfect experience.
Office with Proshop is top
The club restaurant is a true culinary experience.
Since I am still new in Leipzig and looking for a new home club I will probably land at the end of my search here.
The tracks have many obscure obstacles and especially lots of water, which makes the game quite difficult. But the care condition of the area (apart from a few dry spots next to the tracks) is first class.
I immediately booked a starting place for a pro-am tournament.
Keep it up!

It was a nice day with a great atmosphere
Reviewed June 5, 2018
I was at the plant on 30.05 and was also able to participate in a small golf tournament. I found the staff very friendly and helpful.
The place was in a good condition. The greens I found very good and very fast. The course is not an extremely sporty area, but the tracks have their pitfalls with the many water hazards.
In the evening I was still on the terrace at the evening event and must make the kitchen a big compliment.
Priced certainly not cheap, but overall it was more than worth the day!
As I am now in Leipzig for business, I will definitely come again.

More apparent than...
Reviewed June 3, 2018
I had heard a lot about the course in advance and wanted to make my own picture. I was very surprised that the place was completely empty Saturday evening despite the nice weather. Neither on the square nor in the restaurant was a human soul to see.
I booked for 9 holes, and paid 50 €. The conversion is very successful from a playful point of view. Island Greens, small greens alternating with heavily defended greens, requires an exact match. That's really fun. Tee-offs must be played tactically, as you often have well-positioned bunkers in the landing zone. The greens were in good to very good condition.
But now comes the but: Outside the railways it looks partly really wild. Place where no or little grass was sown. Always just straight tracks, unimaginative without doglegs or their variety sometime monotonous. All tracks somehow the same. And then 2 tracks are only usable in Winterspielbetrieb because of reconstruction work. And for 50 € for 9 holes I find absolutely covered!
And somehow it fits, which one uses with a Porsche SUV to collect balls. The money would have been better spent differently.
And suddenly the empty parking lot makes sense... look a pity!

I do not know who moved you to this statement, but on Saturday we had a tournament on the grounds and a birthday party, so the place was well attended.
That the secondary surfaces of the fairways are slightly dry. due to the prolonged drought, we pay attention to the care and irrigation of the tracks and the greens to get them in these dry weeks.
The Porsche SUV is provided by our sponsor partner, which we are very proud of.
It is a pity you did not like our place, but you can not make every player happy.
We wish you a nice game.

Bad is the place not, but really boring. For the green fee is really clearly too high. In sum, makers are not recommended to the golfer.

Beautiful golf course
Reviewed August 22, 2017
I was allowed to play the place on the edge of Leipzig in July 2017 as part of a high-profile charity tournament. Of course, everything is of course organized and cleansed - but you have to do it all for once. Was already impressive!
The place itself is not very spectacular and I have not really remembered many of the tracks. But with a look at my scorecard, I can remember that there were some tracks in it and the place is more difficult to play than it looks at first sight.
The condition was very good, the greens very well maintained and partly strongly onduliert. As already mentioned in another review the Halfwayhaus is an eye-catcher and definitely beyond the standard of other places.
Those who have already played many challenging golf courses will not be impressed by the 18 holes in the action. But if you want to enjoy a beautiful golf day on a really good golf course, this is just right. I had nen very pleasant golf day on the site in machern and a visit there I can only recommend.

Beautiful place!
Reviewed May 5, 2017
Played 4/30/2017 (hcp 12.8) welcome was very good and on-site training is done.
Unfortunately, no yardage-book but as a first time visitor I received a book on the square.
Tees, fairways and greens found in good condition. Partial parallel paths with two island greens, the 18, in my view is the highlight of the square. Spectators are always available from the club terrace. Unfortunately, two greens were rebuilt and were not playable, so winter greens!
Clubhouse and restaurant have earned 5 stars!
Conclusion We'll be back, one of the better places in Leipzig!

Place top condition, presentation on web catastrophic
Reviewed July 30, 2013
The place is really very well maintained, great greens. BUT! The constant interference by the nursing staff and the annoying Motorengedröhn make life really not fun. There are always some machines in use, no matter what time of day or day of the week. Better scheduling of course maintenance is required URGENTLY.
Furthermore, the presentation on the Internet is just plain awful!
One can play the individual tracks do not look ahead. A tiny, meaningless - everything is just ridiculous map of optical information on the tracks. Current pictures of the place (or the fairways where renovations have taken place) in vain. The last pictures are from 2011! For foreign players simply a disgrace. Also there is no Birdy-book for download. On the ProShop Info page for months is "coming soon". Price (fee) moves to the top of the whole - in my opinion absolutely overpriced. Monday, neither the Secretariat nor the clubhouse open is busy - absolutely unacceptable!
All in all a nice place - but ZERO service!

Pimped flat meadow with great attention to detail
Reviewed July 25, 2013
've Played this flat, but challenging course in July 2013. Seemingly high financial cost and detail-love pep up the scenic character of the rather boring place to clean.
Place State:
Very good maintenance condition. The greens are perfectly despite the current heat. Fairways were also not dried out. Everything makes a very good impression.
Course layout:
For the found landscape of the place can not do anything. The Leipzig region is just flat and therefore one moves almost all the time on a large, flat lawn on the mostly 2 to 3 more tracks are visible.
Therefore the court lacks the outstanding tracks, one of which is still spoken months later. Maybe ensteht with the island green under construction and the associated elevated tee on the future 11 a kind of signature hole.
The course is therefore anything but easy. It has integrated a lot of water, the fairway bunkers are almost always in the game (on the par 5 holes like the 100m in front of the green-placed bunkers, like then "eat" after healing überstandenem discount the second beat), track 8 is from artificial walls through it, the 18 ends with an island green!
Clubhouse / Catering:
The environment a lot of money has been invested. Many golf clubs would be glad to be able to call the Machernsche Halfway Hut clubhouse as their own. The clubhouse itself is equipped with a huge terrace with lounge furniture, palm trees, sun loungers on the roof - there is feeling on beach.
Exercise equipment:
Sufficiently available.
Directions:
Approx. 15 minutes north of the A14 - certainly more so than a half hour from the city center of Leipzig.
Overall conclusion:
Mainly I'm golfers. I wish the makers of creators would for details, club house, island greens, sun loungers, Halfway Hut etc put that money into the space layout.
In this flat landscape you would have put a links style design (which would also USP for Central Germany). So the place in my opinion is not to permanently hang in the back of the head and get in the golfing sense why only 3 stars from me.
Who is less ambitious golf-way and rather wants to spend a nice day, but here is just right. The environment gets a clear 5 stars.

A beautiful place...
Reviewed June 22, 2013
A beautiful place...
As a player from the largely local area I play makers due to its beautiful square and the excellent condition of all facilities and often very much. Why conduct my review yet light fails...?
The place in recent years has experienced a steady improvement and the present condition can only praise unreservedly. Even when (and after) difficult weather conditions are green and fairway in perfect condition. The place is absolutely fair with a medium to high degree of difficulty, as well as many obstacles (water, shelter). The fairways were and are also constantly being improved and embellished, - a second Green Island is currently under construction.
This requires a lot of skilled personnel and, in fact, the nursing staff to players mostly in the majority. Since the greenkeepers are rightly proud of the standard of maintenance, they are reluctant to separate from the fairways so you have it as a player in heavy creators. It is different between mowing vehicles around and play over. The machines are of course not issued to increase the difficulty. (Or only very rarely, -.., But it started back in the backswing Unfortunately, no joke) Who is playing too slow to be ascended impatient and we were glad that the mowers have no horn. But the engine noise also makes legs. Waited on the tee is not on the 4-Flight advance but on the completion of the extra round of fairway mowing vehicle center.
This fact is despite moderate green fee fee, measured by the square-quality, difficult to tolerate. Notes in the (very friendly) Secretariat remained inconclusive and one can only guess that green fee players are so rare in makers that the club manager of the state space for tournaments or sponsors events is important. Usual care measures are to my knowledge on a Monday all day and into the early morning and late evening hours. Add creators roars around the clock and every day of the week over the entire space.
I have, however, a novelty, also already may endure on a sunny Saturday at the beautiful clubhouse terrace of the constant engine noise Trimmer & Co.
Conclusion: In almost all areas of the GCC makers is top class, but with all due respect for the renovations, which I expressly excludes from my criticism - better time management of care measures should be feasible. Worse, it does not go so well.

Just try it!
Reviewed July 22, 2012
According to the previously read reviews here would have been the place probably should rather avoid. However, I had heard previously that this closely matches one of the tournaments of the MLP series to take place. Bit confused by the reviews, my wife and I arrived, the practice round at 19.7. out on the spot. Anticipating can I say, that was all great class already. Nice, friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Besides all of the usual, the office employees have taken care catered to my trolley that because later, of Jucad, after the second Repair within one year!, Had to be sent directly to the tournament site.
The course was in great condition, also outside of the fairways. The greens were hard, fast scan but still fair. The grass top surface!
Because of the many water hazards and the rather narrow lanes, coupled with the high gewachsnen Rauen, was the rather flat space is not easy to play. The décor of the place, eg toilets is just fine. The big-block Halfway House seeks secure his peers. Great location, great facilities.
The tournament the next day was the most organized most closely matches I've ever played. Just great! Thanks again for this. The party afterwards, in the morning! DJ has taken over the task übrigends club manager, was terrific.
The club members and the staff with whom we have celebrated the way, were anything but snooty!
My home club is the GC-Hardenberg and I play a handicap of 13.9 Frank P.

The place is well maintained in great condition, the greens. The island green is a real highlight, hard to play, but a challenge.
Greenfee2011 to comment:
How can you leave a comment on the staff of the club restaurant if you play in February where the place is demonstrably in the winter break, and consequently have no food / office opened.
Moreover, one must not be surprised if the place is on uneven ground and holes has been in this season.

Disappointing
Reviewed May 18, 2012
Unfortunately, very arrogant kind that is put there for days.
Order and cleanliness leaves much to be desired, some very unkempt, it looks something away from the green.
Club members sometimes snooty and not very friendly and willing to talk.
No thanks, not recommended.

Highly recommended
Reviewed September 23, 2011
I played the course in 2011 times now 4, he is getting better. The Head Greenkeeper is new and many cars have become more attractive. The 18 is arguably became one of the most beautiful island greens in D. All greens are now very fast and very well maintained. The Surrounds are hard to distinguish from the green. The fairways are extremely short and in top condition. Should not come into the rough one, since only rescue shocks are often possible. All PAR 4 are very long and difficult. The management is good, especially in tournaments. Mens Day every Wednesday is the best in Herre afternoons where there, often with a sponsor and always with a buffet. Gastro is great, even with Halfway.
It is also important that the members are very nice and guest players, like me, a warm welcome.

Poor Greens
Reviewed June 29, 2011
I was playing here on a Monday night around 18:00 clock. Club Office and restaurant were closed. The greens were not mowed. The holes were unclean edges, resembling more a soup plate as a golf hole. The course layout is nice with some great views over the countryside. The trenches with accumulated stones are very tricky and forgive any mistakes. On weekends and with fresh, well-manicured greens, it is certainly a great place surrounded by beautiful nature.

We played here last weekend, which was completely covered with green fee 40 € per person in only 9 holes, € 80 for 18 holes per person, moreover, where the space is partially still under construction. Club secretary was on the weekend, Saturday, unoccupied. Some poor signage at Fairway exchange.
Positive: Friendly players, decent fairways and greens
