Reviewed March 20, 2023
Unfortunately we only had time for a lap of 9, but it was the best!
Very friendly welcome in the secretariat including a brief explanation of the range, space and changing room.
The range offers incentives through defined goals, new tee mats (tees for right and left) and well-kept areas lure to practice, the bunker full of fresh sand.
The course can already be played on summer green, the sand in the bunkers is great. Mountain and valley challenged us, we were able to enjoy the great view all around despite the cloudy sky.

Great views, great greens, but...
Reviewed November 8, 2022
We played the course in October. Since the place is on a hill, you have a beautiful view of the area. We were surprised by the excellent greens. The fairways, however, were in a not so nice condition due to the season.
The reception was nice, but there were no more range balls at 11 a.m. and the practice facility was closed to Team Germany. We would then have had to wait an hour before teeing off, but then we were able to unconventionally get hold of a bucket of balls from the greenkeeper.
The restaurant didn't convince us either. Golfers are not welcome here. The four of us wanted a bite to eat. Apparently all the tables were reserved, so we were "generously" allowed to sit at a large table, not very comfortable in an otherwise nice restaurant. Of course, the tables that were supposedly reserved were not occupied, so the restaurant remained half empty. The food itself was okay, at a confident price level.

Very well maintained and beautiful 18 hole golf course
Reviewed October 16, 2019
The golf course Rheinhessen Hofgut Wißberg I met on the last Monday, 14.10.19 in a very well maintained and therefore excellent condition. It is a high and demanding place in a beautiful environment surrounded by vineyards. Except for some military helicopters and private planes, I found the environment very quiet. The 18 holes (only 13 can play in time) are demanding and a challenge for the young, middle and experienced generation. The wind plays a very important role on the Wißberg, but was extremely restrained this Monday. The sand in the bunkers is light and loose. And... they were all just. Great... and not found a cigarette. Only... the holes on these manicured greens do not have to be. Alone out of respect and appreciation for the great and painstaking work of the Greenkeeper. No one wants to mend the hole before putting. Conclusion: fairways, bunkers and the greens are in top condition! Mr. Comtesse and his team were extremely friendly and accommodating. The members are friendly, as on the golf courses: Nahetal, Jakobsberg and on the Wendelinus, St. Wendel (Saarland). There is a halfway house, a hotel and a restaurant with a terrace in the direction of the vineyards and in addition a large outdoor area. It was a lot of fun to play in this great place for the first time. I'm looking forward to next time.

An experience - golf and panorama!
Reviewed July 5, 2019
As a city-traveling golfer, we spent a few days in Mainz and then of course visited the GC Rheinhessen. A trip that really paid off. Sporty the round on the well maintained course really fun, even if the first round, of course, is never so easy. And the panoramic view is on many tracks really absolutely unique. Incidentally, this also applies to the terrace of the club restaurant - you can almost not enjoy a nice meal.
Clear recommendation - we will be back!

Great facility, condition, view...
Reviewed April 21, 2019
What a great location, especially location, and what a view... Nestled in the so-called Rheinhessen Tuscany this place is the despite the hot summer of 2018 super maintained. And even after the round, it is a pleasure to eat delicious food and enjoy the view.

Beautiful place, but...
Reviewed January 22, 2018
I have played this course several times in the last few years - 2014 for 3 months as a trial member, then an average of twice a year as a green fee player.
Great space design, fair course rating and good practice facilities, as well as great views (apart from the obligtorischen wind wheels apart) and delicious food in the gastro are the big plus.
Unfortunately, a lot of other players and groups noticed that the place is very often closed to tournaments or events. Even as a member you often have to dodge the early morning or late afternoon.
Also some of the members are "a bit getting used to".

Regionally, a clear recommendation.
Reviewed January 4, 2018
The above reviews have already described the most important thing.
Summarized:
- Fun and beautiful views are given without restriction,
- Fairways, greens and bunkers are well maintained and good,
- some blind blows and quite dense (wildflower) rough at previously unimaginable sites tarnish the fun for players without space skills and
- a lot of bunkers (62!), which can be judged depending on the player...
The green fee was very appropriate.

A very nice round
Reviewed August 12, 2017
I can only follow the arguments of M. Heller. For more is not to be said. Except perhaps that the place was in a very good condition at the end of July 2017 despite the strong rain of the days. And the views from the railways and the clubhouse terrace into the vineyards are truly - for a North German - unique.

Good place with a very nice view.
Reviewed July 14, 2017
The place is surrounded by vineyards, always offers beautiful views. The Courselayout is unspectacular but very fair, the place well embedded in the hilly landscape. The fairways are sufficiently wide so that the numerous blind blows are also feasible. The bunkers are strategically well placed, water is not so common in the game. The greens relatively fast, little onduliert, very springtreu and in a very good condition. The fairways and bunkers are also in a faultless condition. Remarkable is the many wild flowers, which were very lovingly planted.
The restaurant terrace offers a very nice view over the surrounding vineyards, the offer is standard clubhouse standard, unfortunately the service was a bit overstrained.

It used to be better
Reviewed November 18, 2016
We have long been a member of the GCR and I really have to say the club goes down the drain.
Years ago, five six one went there to have fun playing golf to have and just be in peace times.
The place is actually in a good state more trash would as yet whether a candy wrapper or a banana peel (even if those "biodegradable" is) does not have to look down the fairway.
After Rumde one would you then back to the clubhouse, but then what? a naughty teen who thinks rather to laugh and easy to annoy. The've just quietly why probably only so quiet because they were grade on Hamdy...
To eat, I can recommend the club sandwich very much if the Miatbeiter today have a good day, they are quickly available. The food is there and you would be to eat and what you hear? People who have all the time about änder forgive... Excuse times but what is that for a relationship?

What more do you want?
Reviewed July 10, 2016
Beautiful situated at an altitude golf course that you have to play strategically.
Well maintained greens, fairways very good. Many bunkers defend the large greens. Selective, slightly hilly course, which is to run well. Wonderful panoramic view if you take the time once into the distance to view. A place for Genieser who have a very good cuisine. All in all highly recommended.

Monitoring hysteria
Reviewed June 23, 2015
My wife and I played the course on June 6,2015. Due to a youth tournament they asked us to cut off Ago 9 clock, which as early risers is not a problem for us. We repulsed even at 8 clock and needed at the end of the quite hilly place without court skills 3.5 hours what can be called not bestimt as too slow. Nevertheless, 4 different people felt obviously entitled us time to control a total of 4 on our transit times to various holes, 3 times with a cart and in addition to the deduction of ten were still times 2 persons, with no as Marshall revealed his identity.
This is something I've never experienced.
The place itself was extremely dried out by the fairways ago.
Therefore, could not be recommended.

Beauty iand fame is fleeting
Reviewed June 16, 2015
We played the course on 06.10.2015 and were disappointed in every way, as we knew him from the early years and have played relatively frequently in recent years. The somewhat outdated space would slowly earned a contemporary design, as it is a golfing challenge with its many bunkers and is also beautifully located. The fairways were rock-hard, the grass cover thin and emaciated; the relatively well-manicured greens for aeration but provided with coarsely perforated holes, which did not allow an exact Puttspiel; the sanding was probably blown or deposited only very thin. At several fairways blind drain and / or fairway shocks can jeopardize advance gambling Flights unintentionally.
At full green fee a totally unkempt cart was provided to us, with 3 cigarette butts!!! not to beat on the Bagablage are (The cart was kindly provided us go from a club employee!) The restaurant is only conditionally recommended. Nice friendly service with a small, diversified map at a rather high price-performance ratio. Absolutely justified criticism on our part (rump steak toatal streaky, provided with tendons and cartilage!) You will indeed friendly, but without situational reaction.
Conclusion: In the next 5 years not again! What a pity!!!

Light and Shadow
Reviewed March 16, 2014
Played in March 2014:
The welcome at the Sekretariatat was very friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, only the winter greens were playable, which has somewhat clouded the game fun. Overall, the quality was place in a tidy condition. On numerous fairways of the shock goes into the "unknown", which I personally do not like, not only because of the uncertain ball location, but also in terms of game security.
A Cart is recommended because of the differences in height on the tracks.
I would like to mention regardless of the vote yet, we have had very unpleasant experiences with club members who have shown themselves rude and offensive in their appearance.

Dream place with green disease (?)
Reviewed August 23, 2012
Fantastic place, very nice to play, almost always the best views in the Rheinhessen hills.
The green fee is steep.
The HCP default 28 (men) or 36 (women) at the weekend will not be as closely seen at least afternoon...
Unfortunately, during our visit were almost all greens in large areas in a desolate state. Either the rain / sun combination of the previous day's fault or a disease. It withdrew meandering brown river delta areas like the greens. Through skillful pin positions could usually be avoided that you had about this putting. The only reason a star deduction - otherwise clear 5-star place!

The distance - so close!
Reviewed May 16, 2012
The entries above are absolutely correct. Previously this was a bald hump. Today, the growth of the entire course outline gives. And the layout is fun. Some blind haircuts - but that is also the only criticism of the system. Otherwise, tip-top. One has to be said: The balcony offers an incredible view of Rheinhessen. Madness. If possible, reserve for dinner!
For the short trip I would combine that with the Nahe and Mommenheim. Beautiful it is not in this region!

GCR at it's Best
Reviewed September 18, 2009
The golf course on the Wißberg at St. Johann, a mesa in the Rheinhessen Switzerland has everything you can expect from a successful golf outing: A well-kept place in a picturesque landscape and breathtaking views. The course provides the experienced strategists play all possibilities and is not intimidating even for the golf newbie. The weather, however, shows up here a little "more Scottish" character as in the Rhenish lowlands.
In the well-tended range you will find all possible game situations and you have a good run.
The care for guests by the members of the Secretariat is very friendly. A well-stocked pro shop is doing its part.
After the round is the excellent cuisine to relaxation and strengthening available. Even more day trips to the Wißberg worth in good hotel in the wonderful quiet location up there.
This place is worth a detour.
