Golf with tradition on Sylt
Reviewed October 1, 2023
Played on September 11,2023. The flat 18-hole golf course with tradition is located in absolute peace and nature, practically directly at the entrance from Hindenburgdamm in the east of the island of Sylt. Every now and then you can hear the quiet trains passing by on the back nine. The signage to the golf club is fairly straightforward and a navigation system is helpful. The course is probably the oldest on the island and one of the founding fathers is none other than Axel Springer. The small, cute clubhouse is thatched but modernized and also offers a small restaurant (with a limited menu on Mondays). The club is certainly more member-oriented, but guests are certainly welcome and are greeted warmly by the employee at the counter. However, it can be assumed that due to the green fee prices between 60 € and 135 € (whether on weekdays or weekends), depending on the time of year, you want to select your guests. There are no special rates such as Sundowner or Early Bird and participation in the Sylt Golf Hopping Card. As far as we know, if someone from the other players didn't say hello, it was more likely that they were guests. The game operation on a Monday morning was manageable. There are no official start times. However, for guests. You can't book it online. A corresponding request via email a few weeks before our trip to Sylt was answered immediately and the desired start time was confirmed. The course is anything but boring, even if the big highlights are missing. The tracks definitely have their charm, especially because of some water obstacles, often in the drive landing zones. When it's windy you should definitely play strategically, because then the mostly open fairways quickly become narrow. A few slight doglegs and one or two bunkers also come into play. On lane 3 you have to play over a dike. The second blow, when you lie in front of the dike, is blind. On some tracks the balls do bounce when they hit a dry, rather hard spot. The course isn't short either and on one or two men's tees (yellow/blue) you have to stretch to reach the fairway, especially in headwinds. Unfortunately, there are no visual images of the courses on the tee boards. The signage of the train sequence is good. The condition was also good, the tees and especially the greens were very good. There were some brown patches on the fairways, but overall it was fine. You can see the sea a few times, especially on the front nine and on the 17th. I can recommend a round on the GC Morsum course without hesitation and if you don't play in high season, it's not that expensive either.

Nice place, but tough fairways
Reviewed September 6, 2021
Well-kept and very pleasant and absolutely calm atmosphere.
Gastro friendly with fair prices.
To play calmly, little challenge, but still a very attractive place overall.
Simple driving range.
Getting used to tough fairways and greens that let the balls jump in all directions; ie the balls do not find a hold, not even on the green. Unfortunately, golfing becomes a game of chance. That's too bad!
Expensive green fee: Two people with a cart for 245 EUR are already an announcement. Sylt - surcharge… .. ??
We had a nice, relaxed afternoon for two. But one more time we will not necessarily play the course again.

You are not really happy
Reviewed May 27, 2021
I played the course some time ago. One has the impression that one is happy about guests.
Nice course in Marsch und Heide, different from GC Sylt or Marine GC But no comparison to Budersand.
But for the sake of completeness you should play on Sylt, even if the green fee is more about the exclusivity
Sylts is oriented towards the quality of the place

Very nice but overpriced
Reviewed December 26, 2020
Played in early October 2020, handicap 12
A relatively open place in the heather landscape style with some links elements - for such a flat landscape many tracks are quite wavy. At the very beginning two to three holes with a beautiful view of the sea, otherwise rather sparse.
Unfortunately, most of the railways are not particularly original - many are very similar and quickly forgotten. Only a few lanes with water hazards are tactically interesting - otherwise it is important to shoot the ball as far forward as possible, the fairways are wide enough. However, the "shooting forward" is sometimes not that easy. The place is not really short (6,009m from the regular yellow men's tees) and especially with a headwind (it blew STRONG - the seagulls went on foot, probably because it was faster than flying against the wind) are the greens (moderately undulating and very slowly) for us normal golfers hardly reachable “in regulation” - “Bogey” already feels like “Par”!
Even the Par3s are partly “crisp” (180m) and the paths between the lanes are partly a bit longer and not always easy to find - therefore (and as protection against wind and weather) a cart is recommended to everyone who uses one here may (only with a certificate or from 70 years).
Overall, the condition is very good. The only drawback is the mowing residue that has partly remained in the rough, which makes it unnecessarily difficult to find the balls.
We cannot at all confirm that people here in the club tend to be hostile or even snooty towards guests - on the contrary! Everyone, because we met - professionals, gastronomy, members - were really very nice and booking the tee time by phone was completely unproblematic. A relaxed halfway break in a beach chair with cake, cocoa and rum was easily possible and the restaurateur even postponed her evening a little because of us, in order to serve us very tasty crab bread and spaghetti with fresh chanterelles!
Unfortunately, as with so many things on Sylt, the following applies: Simply too expensive! Even the GF of EUR 70, - reduced in the off-season, is clearly too much for this average space, as is the 45, - for the cart. The greens were unfortunately also quite freshly aerated and correspondingly bumpy - this was not pointed out when booking the start time or when checking in - there was also no green fee reduction (as is usual elsewhere).
Conclusion: well-maintained, but overpriced average place - 3 stars. (In the "Golf Bear Ranking": 5 out of 10 points.)
NB - My personal ranking of the four Sylt places:
Clear leadership for “Budersand” - the other three places are very close together in the evaluation. "GC Sylt" in 2nd place, due to the slightly more pleasant landscape just before the "Marine" course - slightly behind due to the less varied "Morsum" courses).
Recommendation: If you are ever on the island - "take" all four seats. If you happen to be not there - go there because of “Budersand”!

Very well-kept coastal course with hard rough
Reviewed September 10, 2020
The course has a very nice design with varied holes and was very well maintained. In this private club you can also pay with a green fee of 90 €, which is the top value on Sylt. The very friendly secretariat and the (Corona-related) free range balls were pleasant. The extreme rough, which is typically knee-high and very dense, was very uncomfortable, so I didn't find a single warped ball and lost about 20 balls.
My conclusion: I am definitely not good enough for this beautiful course despite handicap 12 and prefer to play the other three Sylt alternatives in the future.

To be recommended at any time
Reviewed July 1, 2020
Very well-kept condition, very friendly staff and always worth a round. Due to the special location in Morsum, the course is perfectly integrated into the typical landscape, you can really enjoy a relaxed round of golf. Here, too, the wind can convey a different feeling every day. We were so excited again that we played twice, so: highly recommended!!
Less nice: we actually saw a young lady who, as a member of this venerable club, felt bothered that we, as paying guests, accidentally took a seat at a member's table. Has of course been corrected immediately.
Gastronomy: very friendly staff and delicious little dishes.

Golfing in a unique nature
Reviewed June 5, 2018
If you are a golfer on Sylt and have not played the course in Mor sum you have missed an experience. The course is in a very good condition and is quite demanding. But the remarkable thing is the charisma of the place in a unique natural landscape that has become an unforgettable experience. Here I like to play again anytime.

For days we try to reach someone, the secretariat seems orphaned. There are no start times online. Easter is upon us and like every year a round in Morsum should complete our holiday. This has now been done. It seems that no value is placed on paying customers. Sad but true.

Reviewed August 28, 2017
Playing in Morsum has always been a pleasure, the clubhouse is cozy and the reception in the secretariat is super friendly and uncomplicated, the people are good things, you can feel the positive energy on the island and this golf course.
The newly remodeled 18 hole course is just fun, although we are almost desperate at the waterworks and now a few balls are poorer.
We thank and sincerely for this beautiful experience and look forward to coming again.

Always happy
Reviewed August 25, 2017
I was there last week and was allowed to play for the first time on the beautiful 18 hole golf course. What other visitors here can comment negative I can not understand! Please give yourself.
A start already in the morning gray was spontaneously possible after uncomplicated registration with Mrs. Nielsen. The place is in an excellent condition and I have rarely seen such a well-groomed green. The Greenkeepers do all the work. Keep it up!
In the small but fine clubhouse there was even in the morning a freshly baked cake and coffee and the spacious terrace invites you to linger.
I will come back and look forward to the next round.

How to get home
Reviewed July 28, 2017
Already my grandfather has abolished here. Probably therefore a round at this uniquely beautiful golf club belongs to a mandatory visit if we are on Sylt every summer.
So we were there last week. We could start problem-free early in the morning and after the round in the morning we expected the warm duo in the clubhouse. Had the beach not called we would certainly stay longer. We are looking forward to playing in Morsum again in September. Sincerely, Günther Family from Bonn

Must be well thought...
Reviewed July 27, 2017
The place is nice to play and also nicely located. The green fee with 95 euros expensive and also a thick layer of sand on the greens does not lead to a reduction. The condition is rated "passable" correctly.
The lady in the secretariat can hardly be surpassed in unkindness.
The place is private and does not belong to the DGV. This probably also explains the oppressive feeling as a guest not to be welcome. A pity about the place, but if it goes also without guests, I would recommend, completely to guests to renounce. And if not, then still a certain hospitality to live.

A beautifully located golf course but
Reviewed November 15, 2014
On Sylt the golf course with a prime location and beautiful design.
Place offers peace and a natural.
Unfortunately, a Golf Club, who actually want to have any guests. In November, although no one played guests are not really desirable. That there is room locks to give members free play times is perfectly understandable and even unacceptable.
Why guests should not play in the fall / winter season and also the green fee is not reduced but, as usual, remains a mystery.
This golf club unfortunately corresponds to the usual clichés (elitist, expensive, etc.) of golf in Germany. Such clubs are the reason for the many prejudices against Gulf and prevent the necessary evolution.
The "private club" is certainly not up to date in this form.
Too bad, but those clubs do not want to recognize the signs of the times and absolutely get your dubious status.

The highlight of the Sylt-places
Reviewed October 23, 2014
Usually we play in our annual Sylt vacation only in Morsum, this year we have made two other places, playful is one thing, but the family environment and the service in Morsum not permit any other conclusion is that the total package in Morsum the best is what it has to offer Sylt! Even with expected arrival one a great reception, it is always nice to feel that you are no stranger to Mrs. Nielsen, even if you only play 2-3 times a year! The state and the environment of the place is unique in Germany. In Morsum time stops and that's very positive meaning, and there's no hassle, and above all, no crush, whatever negative effect on the joy of playing! After the round, usually still expects us a cup of coffee and homemade cake, an absolute must for an all around perfect day of golf! Keep it up dear Golf Club Morsum!

More is not possible!!!
Reviewed October 7, 2014
This private golf club in Morsum for us is by far the most beautiful place. The bad points of criticism we can added nachvollziehen- in any way: it is totally badly signposted; but, once found, it is like an odyssey on this island. The team friendly, courteous and helpful (Mrs. Nielsen puts us in the morning at 7.00 clock all ready) - stes good mood. The place: nestled in the beautiful Wadden Sea nature, in mint condition, the greens - (a bitter aftertaste: in spring is recommended due to the high and uncut roughs tend not to play), but now in August / September just a dream of course. Here you really feel comfortable, here you enjoys spending his vacation... Thanks to the team from the Golf Club Morsum, we are also happy 2015 again!!!

Too bad it could have been a beautiful day of golf
Reviewed September 24, 2014
On 9/9/2014 I have the, not really well maintained, played space. But what has really bothered me is the Sevicebereich. Poor accessibility by phone. The phone was temporarily unoccupied. Only after several attempts it went well. After the game I wanted to eat and drink something. Neither the front nor the restaurant were occupied. In the entrance (bar area) was on the ground a piece of paper with the words "I'll be back soon". I did not believe it!!! The cleaning station was in a bad state. Purification of the trolley and my golf shoes was not possible with compressed air. Conditioning did not work.
For this I paid 85.00 E!!! This place we determined not recorded by me.

Cow pasture was converted into a golf course

We (4 golfers from Hamburg) played the course last year. We felt this course as a normal golf course, which is okay, but far from it, to be praised beyond measure. Mostly we found the tracks better than cow pasture, albeit a little boring. We were certainly agree: We do not need to play again, especially since the green fee is extremely expensive.
After the round, then the club house was already closed: (19.00 clock), but it's actually not about the cake that you can be lucky Thank enjoy anywhere on the island.

Dear Mr. Sharp,
Lady Hirschberg (or should I call you as a woman / club secretary first - What is wrong?)
A week ago I'm on one of our bike tour on your golf course passed (coming from the dyke). Since I currently graduate from a beginner course on the golf course near us, the sight of your course, of course, immediately aroused my interest, especially since we had previously seen the golf course BUDERSAND day. I asked our landlord of the "guest house Karnath" in Morsum where unless your clubhouse. Since I was unfortunately mirgeteilt that your place was a private place and only selected people are likely to play there.
This of course has not discouraged me and so I'm gone today times the Internet to your home page to learn more.
