Surprisingly and unexpectedly good
Reviewed July 5, 2024
That was the 9th and last round of golf on our camper tour - and since we were tempted to go to Weimarer Land, but read here that a lot of places are closed there due to the presence of the English national team and campers are less welcome, Gera was a spontaneous alternative with rather low expectations.
We were all the more pleased with how nice and, above all, how friendly we were welcomed there - we arrived in the afternoon and were told in advance, in a very friendly and courteous manner, that we should stand on the lawn because it was quieter there (we met another golfing couple there with a rented camper). In the evening we enjoyed a delicious meal on the sunny (and very picturesque) clubhouse terrace (and here too the service staff were super-super friendly!).
The next day we played the course, the weather was so-so, a few drops of rain fell. The course is fairly flat and relatively wide, but quite tricky to play. Since you can't see exactly where the best approach position for the next shot is on some holes, and the rough borders the fairway well, ball losses are inevitable if the ball is not hit straight.
The wind and light rain made the course much more challenging and interesting than it first appears. I had a pretty "worn" day and left a number of balls there as calling cards - have fun finding them!
After the round, we had an excellent meal and because everything was so cozy, we stayed one more night and spent a nice, wine-filled evening (including football) with our RV neighbors. They were so impressed with the place that they played another round the next day. But we were drawn to home.
CONCLUSION: Gera was great fun, especially the people make it a special gem!

My club
Reviewed February 20, 2020
Yes I am biased and yes it is my home club but I just have to write how I like it.
The exercise options: everything you need. Putting green, chipping and pitching also have their space; Driving range also covered = enough space to practice.
Short course: not only suitable for trying out, but also a nice training opportunity for experienced golfers.
Space: suitable for all skill levels and well maintained. Our greens are great!
Team: I like them all!
Gastro: Fiore offers great Italian cuisine and is also worth it when it rains.
Conclusion: If you don't like this club - it's your own fault

5 stars - 1 star: IM ERNST???
Reviewed November 28, 2019
First of all, for the definition:
5 * would mean: Super place, hardly anything to improve, 1 * would mean: terrible, do not play.
Both of these clearly NOT apply to this place!!!
In summary, it is noted that this is a nice place that offers some blind strokes (landing zones not visible) and in relation to other golf courses provides a rather unspectacular layout. Since the intermediate routes and the tracks are relatively short, a quick lap is possible, which is also fun thanks to the good (but not above average) care condition.
Positive to note are still the extremely nice members of the club (eg also when playing through or connecting to existing flights).
Less attractive are the changing rooms and sanitary facilities.
Incomprehensible is the fact that on "tournament days" the place was closed all day( specifically: on a morning tournament beginning with less than 40 participants, the place was also locked in the afternoon, "because the organizer has booked the place for the whole day." Should This strange practice would be the rule, a reference in the Internet regarding all-day blocking would be helpful!
Thus, the GC Gera is an average golf course, which you can play while driving by. And that's 3 * - no more and no less...

Great place, nice people, good clubhouse
Reviewed May 9, 2019
We are here for golf regularly. The place is beautifully situated, quite demanding and looks lovingly maintained.
The club members and especially the secretariat are extremely nice. One immediately feels "upset".
The Italian club restaurant serves delicious food and the proverbial Italian warmth is not forgotten.
All in all a top address in Thuringia.

Small club quite large
Reviewed August 13, 2015
(Must be really times) Compliments to the whole team from Golfclub Gera. Every received Always friendly and familiar atmosphere-generating employees in the office who try their hand at the small ball or wants to measure this. The course is varied, open plan, demanding but fair. It can be measured as well in my opinion, readily from state her always with the best seats in larger clubs (especially in Saxony and Thuringia) at moderate green fees. The haircuts and greens are always in perfect condition, even in extreme wet or dry. That's why a special compliment to the Greenkeeper, afford the really good job.
It is advantageous for each game agree that except on tournament days nearly every time a start time is to be obtained.
I switched to this club 2 years ago because of these circumstances and prefer to take a longer Directions in buying, but enjoy for my free time in a pleasant atmosphere in a very beautiful and excellently prepared course.

A big step forward! The place is now in a very good condition. No comparison to 2013! The Austro-inspired "cuisine" is recommended, and you sit on the new glass-enclosed terrace with pleasant views of the 18th green

Much effort to nothingness.
Reviewed December 3, 2013
By way of introduction: I have played the course on a beautiful spring day in December, so I rate the course maintenance not only this: the place was well playable despite the late season, so I'm assuming that was working very well in the summer.
To place and Basics: I see here an example of the problems that are given in almost all German new plants which I played before: an almost meaningless Aneinenderreihung of golf courses lush length, but without "logical" problems, ie, the landing zones for the short average Drive are much too abundant, longer drives, however, be penalized because the Verbunkerung actually on almost all tracks in the area takes place 190-230 meters. Greenside bunkers are all easy to play around, doglegs are not, as all shorten problems, the site was almost involved anywhere, everything is bare and naked in the countryside - what good is it if the place in 30 years is a bit overgrown - I play now! Friends out there, this game was not invented in order to achieve a low handicap, but to get new measure of difficulty again and again, a place that gets bored very first game to the bone - and doing this here - can the concentration and game does not inspire. This place offers no challenge and worse, he has no soul. Too bad about the great effort!

Great place and friendly people
Reviewed April 27, 2011
We were mid-April 2011 and had really good luck with the weather. It offered us a place in a very good state of maintenance and interesting holes. We were there for training and have also used the 6-hole short course intensive. We were received very friendly and have the patience of a number of players somewhat overused. We will certainly go back again and would recommend the place for a good workout.
Thanks again to the whole team...

Not only peace and relaxation
Reviewed April 4, 2011
But also a sporting challenge, this course offers.
In addition to the previously existing tracks are further 9 arise. The view - now appealing-will then be even more promising from the edge of the forest. But now it's worth an evening on the terrace of the club house, the sun go down over paddocks to see.

Beautiful golf course in East Thuringia

The golf course of the Golf Club Gera eV offers just the thing for any golfer. Both a Covered Driving Range, a beautiful short course, and the 9-hole golf course are excellent created! The greens are in good condition and in the clubhouse with pro shop and restaurant attached you will receive friendly. I can only recommend this place.

But young promising!
Reviewed October 9, 2010
After only 3 years, presented to the court in a very good condition.
Of course, the trees, shrubs and hedges need to grow, but the plant has a lot of potential.
Especially nice: the track 8, a par 3 with water obstacle in front of the green.
Super also the 9th Green in front of the club house with sculptures of an artist.

Once and never again
Reviewed July 17, 2010
The Golf Club Gera you have chosen in my opinion the wrong way, only a überdimmensioniertes, swanky club house and then, eventually, a golf course, because to describe the current golf course as such is already badly farfetched. Loveless concatenated paths, one as the other, not just in pure monotony intoxicating landscape with power line.
Only plus point is the driving range along with exercise equipment.
