Too high price for just an average course
Reviewed September 23, 2021
We heard nice stuff about the course so decided to pay 180 Euros in green fee to play on week day. It turned out to be just a mediocre course, comparable to many other medium class courses around Berlin, only with a green fee 3 times higher! Nothing special, the whole course is consirably boring, no signature or impressive hole For me it was a big waste of money & thus can not recommend it to anyone given the terrible fee which seems to rather scare people away than attracting! A total frustrating exprience!

Parkland with tradition but unfortunately too expensive
Reviewed June 17, 2022
9-hole course played on May 6th, 2022.18-hole course played on June 22nd, 2022. The parkland facility with the 18-hole championship course and the PAR 31 9-hole course is located about 20 km south/west of Kurfürstendamm in the posh Wannsee district of Berlin of the same name. It's not far to Potsdam. The car park in front of the modernized clubhouse can be reached via the A115/B1. However, you will look in vain for access signs! The 27-hole course is surrounded by tall, overgrown trees and runs through wooded terrain around the Helmholtz Center. On hole four of the 18-hole course, you also play alongside mighty satellite dishes. Again and again you have a view of a mighty radio tower that stands behind the main road. Overall, you play through absolute peace and nature. You can feel and see the tradition of the club everywhere. Promotion of young talent and team sports are very important. You always meet children and young people during training. Most members say hello. The clubhouse with pro shop and restaurant offers everything a golfer needs. Even if you've forgotten your driver, you can borrow one here and it's even free of charge. There is also a fitness center for members. The driving range is rather narrow, but has two levels. At lane 1 it is possible that you will find one or the other stray ball from the range. We were received very friendly as guests and everything was explained and asked if we needed anything else. I had received start times beforehand by e-mail or by telephone. Tee times for guests are only available on weekdays when there are no tournaments and can only be booked by telephone 7 days in advance. By the way, guests cannot play on bridge days either. Unfortunately, the green fee is steep and not only on the 18-hole course where you can play for €180. Again and again you are carefully pointed out on the phone or at the counter. The round on the 9-hole course (5x PAR3.4x PAR4) is even more expensive at €90. Thus, Wannsee is probably the most expensive golf course in Germany for green fee players, at least on weekdays. According to the motto, we select the guests based on the price, if you really want to play with us, you have to pay for it! After all, the balls on the range are free of charge. You also don't have to pay a surcharge if you don't have a regional code in your ID. The game operation on a sunny Friday evening or on a sunny Thursday morning was very manageable and not only on the 9-hole course, but also on the championship course. The start is every 12 minutes, so there is no stress. The starter was also very friendly, as was all the employees, including the greenkeeper. Practice opportunities for the short game are sufficiently available. The tracks of the 9-hole course are basically not wrong, the place is short but not a short course in the sense. The main challenge on the 9-hole course are the well-placed bunkers around the greens. Caution is advised on tee 3, as you play over the fairway of hole 2 there. Lane 7 with an elevated tee is the highlight of this short round for me. Unfortunately, the condition of the greens on the 9-hole course was a disaster, to say the least, due to the many holes. For the sake of fairness, I have to say that I was told that again when booking the start times and before the round. But what I can't understand is that you still take the full price. A 50% discount would have been appropriate. Unfortunately, it was also very annoying that there were a lot of mosquitoes on the pitch during my game on a sunny Friday afternoon. The 18-hole course was well maintained for our game. One or the other brown spot on the fairway but otherwise everything is OK. The greens are rather fast. There is only one real water hazard on the 18-hole course directly in front of the 17th tee (PAR 3). Otherwise there are a few higher discounts. Overall, the place is slightly hilly but easy to walk on foot. Most tracks go pretty straight. The difficulty lies on the one hand with the many bunkers that defend the greens and the almost always heavily undulated greens. Here and there there is sometimes higher but mostly not very dense rough. Most tees are quite open, so you can often tee off with the driver. On many tees of the 18-hole course, the visual tee boards are even attached on both sides, which I haven't seen that often. By the way, after 9 holes on the 18-hole course you are somewhere on the other side of the course and not at the clubhouse. But there is a nice halfway house with modern toilets and vending machines for snacks, as well as hot and cold drinks. We ate something in the restaurant after the round. You can also sit on the sun terrace with a view of the 9-hole course. The menu is not particularly extensive or unusual, but the food was tasty, the prices were okay. The service was also very friendly. Overall, a more than solid and very well-kept facility, at least on the 18-hole course. Those who love parkland will get their money's worth. Actually five stars, but the green fee is definitely a defensive price, hence only four stars.

Great place - 9 holes well playable in 1:15
Reviewed March 16, 2019
In 2018, all the greens on the 18-hole course revised or completely redesigned - a challenge for every golfer.
The 9 holes are played quickly after work in about 75/90 minutes,
Dee place is short, you have to play exactly by the design
Restaurant - great

Probably the most unfriendly place in Germany
Reviewed October 19, 2017
Of all the golf courses in Germany, we have unfortunately already had to experience the experience several times: The staff - and that starts with the management! - is so rude and arrogant. Unbelievable with which arrogance here the guests are treated.
The place itself - certainly due to its history - is quite boring and uninteresting.
You do not have to!

Hilly Parklandcourse
Reviewed September 26, 2017
The place is also in late September still in a super state with fast, very faithful greens. The state of care is impeccable, both the old trees of the oldest German golf club (1895) and the embedding in the hilly landscape are beautiful. However, the course layout is not very varied, most of the courses are rather straightforward and do not need a special strategy. For 135 € weekdays offer in this price segment eg Lärchenhof, Winston Links or Fontana in Austria golferisch more. The service is by the way excellent in the reception as well as in the restaurant.

Ok
Reviewed June 7, 2017
Frankly, something more expected.
Everything was well maintained, but the place is not very varied, everything was too tightly laid out (partly there are 4 lanes next to each other), there is something missing the generosity, the holes run partly crisscross so I once needed 5 minutes to find the Folgeloch, There is no real signature hole, most likely the 17, but then comes also the weak 18, where you have to play over a unkempt feral trench...
The place is not very difficult, the DriveIng range marginal and overall a green fee of 135, - € is not justified during the week

Sneaky Greens
Reviewed September 7, 2014
Did the court yesterday played with a "scratch golfer" who of course played by one and gave me a "bogey golfer" good advice space, without which one is easily confused by the greens. Overall a nice place, though the Palmer course in Bad Saarow is certainly beautiful and performance-oriented. If you have a "space experts" here, one finds the haircuts easier, otherwise you could get lost quickly. Greenfee course totally overpriced, but probably green fee players are not necessarily welcome, but the reception was very friendly and attentive. Overall a good place, but there are certainly in and around Berlin, and at least equivalent courses.

An impressive place with unexpectedly large forest
Reviewed September 13, 2013
A beautiful place just outside Berlin, which impresses with its tree wealth and gives it a feel-good atmosphere. You have to play just to enjoy the place. Each hole has a different challenge, but you can despite new to this place, get a good score. Already at the driving range you will drilled on the partially narrow fairways, as they have allowed no scattering. The Club House corresponds to the quality of the space and the kitchen can be described as outstanding.

Not bad!
Reviewed October 6, 2012
Played at 3:10:12 I have previously looked at the place on Google Earth and was expecting a rather monotonous "wooded areas" square. Far from it! We never found the fairways if not ball Proved wide but scary tight because always widen the fairways visually into the distance; surprisingly intense elevation changes, friendly mowed rough, the left will find also the slightly warped Drive when the white piles on certain holes previously was included in the tactic. Challenging the layout visually very varied although almost everywhere Heath Similar mixed forest is present and only one hole (17) through a water obstacle, however impressive features. Keep a few grains of the close 18 with a "blind" Drive on, because it ends just below the clubhouse terrace! Excellent course maintenance, which in view of the invoked on holiday 90 € (leading to loss of the Augsburg else to adopt the 5 star rating) could also be provided for a GF. Includiert in the price is a logo ball and free access to unlimited practice balls on the range, in fact tight.
Super clubhouse, good food albeit a little highbrow. Downsizing would be indicated in the latter, to the New Year with a new restauranteur probably come. Guests are welcome here only a week, at WoEnde and Holidays only accompanied by members of what. Andrangs on the face of the sun 3:10 was understandable (at least from the perspective of a member).
In an emergency, the club has a 9 hole "Short" course I've played a few months ago and is highly recommended and quite demanding.

Grand Old Lady
Reviewed June 26, 2012
Undoubtedly a beautiful place, one of the oldest in Germany! Nature park with mature trees (mainly pine and birch), excellent maintenance condition with speedy greens, athletic sophisticated with its narrow fairways and strategically placed bunkers. Very welcoming and the spacious clubhouse with large sun terrace and stunning views.
Why not 5 stars? Firstly, the driving range (two floors and narrow) is the quality of the course is not adequate. Secondly, the green fee rates are unfortunately steep.
