Exhausting
Reviewed April 14, 2024
As a pensioner (HC around -20) I prefer flatter courses, that's what I've said in advance. As mentioned several times here, the course offers a great panorama and it's very interesting to play, but it was too strenuous for me. You may see it differently!
A defensive game is recommended, the fairways are sometimes very narrow. Obstacles or even the out of play lurk everywhere. The course was built in a forest. Nothing was designed here, everything was left very pragmatically as it was. This has its own charm. Holes 10,11 and 12 are spectacular, then on holes 13 to 16 you feel like you are on a forest meadow. That is to be taken literally: I played in April, the course had only just been reopened after a very rainy winter. The fairway of the 13th was unmown. I had to push my cart uphill through tall grass, only to find that my excellent drive was untraceable between the daisies. A low point of this round.
However, when I pushed my cart steeply up from the 16th to the 17th, then back down again because my tee shot didn't hit the extremely narrow fairway, but rather the 16th, and in the process found my previously lost ball, and finally hit the green in regulation, I temporarily felt that strange satisfaction that you feel as a golfer from time to time.
That was all over again on the 18th, because it is a truly extraordinary double dogleg. The tiny green is so deep in the forest and around the corner that you can hardly believe it. That alone makes a round worth it.
The greens are bumpy, but beautifully undulating.
Here's a tip from friends: The clubhouse has little to do with the course in terms of space. To get to the driving range and all the tees, you have to walk through a deep valley. There is a parking lot for hikers down there, which is very convenient. I parked just in front of the office to pay the green fee, then drove down to the parking lot to play, and then, when I was exhausted, drove back up to the clubhouse to shower. I was grateful that I was spared this final climb.

Hilly, challenging, very varied! TOP!
Reviewed August 23, 2023
The golf course is hilly throughout and offers a great view over the North German lowlands and towards the Weser and Wiehen mountains from many tees and greens.
The lanes don't seem overly long, but none of the lanes are really flat, there's always a slight up and down. First of all - an e-trolley helps, an e-cart makes the round of golf more relaxed. The layout often requires strategically placed shots. Some tracks are quite narrow, there are deductions from aisles, over crests, depressions, blind - but wide - landing zones. No track is like the other, pure variety.
The first 9 lanes are a little more open, the back 9 then go through the forest, with tall trees lining the lanes. With holes 10,11,12 (par 4, par 3, par 4), the so-called "Bermuda Triangle" awaits, in which some players are said to have lost their very good score of the first 9 holes...
Getting a good score on this golf course takes more than just one round - until you know the areas from which you can continue playing comfortably. The place does not get boring quickly and is never unfair.
After the round you can sit very nicely on the terrace of the clubhouse in the golf restaurant with outstanding, original Italian cuisine. The stop is a must - the restaurant is also visited by many foreign guests - which underlines the cordial treatment and the very good quality again.
We were there with the mobile home. There are 3 designated RV sites to the rear of the lot. Very quiet. Even power supply is available!
Clear recommendation for a visit!

It is worth
Reviewed July 22, 2023
Every lowland Tyrolean gets their money's worth here. 😊 15 floors up and down. Partly very narrow tee areas, narrow streets to the fairway. Sloping greens, undulating greens, something for everyone. Good condition, great Italian gastro. Green fee very reasonable.

Here are no wishes left
Reviewed May 27, 2023
I can only confirm my rating from 2019 again.
Again we found a 1a well-kept place that leaves nothing to be desired by golfers. The first email contact was already extremely friendly and the reception on site was also very warm. You immediately feel welcome. With the mobile home we were alone there and slept well.
The course is so special and so varied that it is always a pleasure to play it.
Culinary delights in the club restaurant round off a wonderful day.
Big compliments to the secretariat, greenkeeping, restaurant and of course the overall management of this great club.
We will remain repeat offenders ;-)

Calls for repetition precisely because no larifari golf
Reviewed May 22, 2023
Now I've played 35 different golf courses in the last 3 years, beautiful, difficult, bad, catastrophic, exciting etc., but I've never experienced anything like the Schaumburg Golf Club in this form. Already learned to love the first time, but simple is different. Lots of surprises are waiting next to the well-kept fairways, greens and roughs: lots of inclines and declines, curves, slopes, trees, where you don't really like it, but well planned to make the game exciting and challenging. Some holes are really full of surprises and one wonders how that is supposed to work: play and enjoy and it will be a perfect day of golf. And if you're not satisfied, just come back and play again.
Beginners need not despair, they too will make it, but they should be careful, because one or the other track is close together, so caution is advised.

Very nice place
Reviewed May 19, 2023
The course is in very good condition. The greens are all well maintained. The layout is very interesting with partly hidden tracks. Very interesting to play. The secretariat is super nice. We were here with the WoMo. There are 3 pitches with electricity. We met nice golfers with dogs (also allowed on the course) and WoMo. The restaurant has very good food at a medium price level. We'll be back for sure. LG

Necessarily play
Reviewed September 20, 2019
We have crowned our last day of vacation with this great place. Although he does not appear overly long on the scorecard, we took a cart and it was a wise decision. Hilly terrain and here and there longer distances between the tracks require good condition. We found a very well maintained place with fast greens, which made us a lot of fun. Absolutely recommendable.
The extremely friendly staff in the secretariat, the excellent quality of the club restaurant, the possibility to take the dog along and the possibility to spend the night with the camper in the parking lot made for the all-round feel-good feeling. Pitch and electricity were free.
A great experience, which we will repeat soon.

Sporty and sophisticated
Reviewed October 12, 2018
The fantastic view forgives the sometimes bumpy fairways. The beautiful is but the differently planned tracks. The level of difficulty is also designed for both higher and lower handicaps. The total length is short, but through the very very hilly paths you get very fast to a load limit if you have not rented an e-cart. I was in Oktobr, and probably the very dry summer helped to make the fairways not always optimal.

The course is not very long but tricky to play. Some tracks are spectacular, sometimes narrow or sometimes forgiving. Good care and space with a view. Always worth a round!
Friendly service staff.

Challenge in the Weser Hills
Reviewed May 13, 2014
The space around a former brick factory is located in a natural oasis of peace but is a real challenge. Not only that it is mountainous, there are narrow lanes with tight bounds areas and blind shots and haircuts. Higher HC so have their work cut and should be adequately balls on the round. Who is not able to walk well, which should take a cart. Not least because of the partially wide paths between the individual discounts, which run partly along the next fairways which entails a certain danger. Also the way from the clubhouse for the first and tenth tee as well as to the driving range is not without. The good care condition and partially beautiful views of the Weser Uplands compensated, however. When I wanted to play on weekdays in the late afternoon, the Secretariat was already closed. Green fee then you pay the practical GF-mail box. The dressing rooms in the clubhouse, however, are quite easy to fulfill its purpose.

Gem!
Reviewed July 6, 2013
Played on 6.7.13. Very nice office, guests here are obviously very welcome. Wumderbar a landscaped square in VERY hilly terrain, fairways as Prserteppiche and by far the best of the season Gruen throughout the Greater Hannover. The place is quite short but tricky tw close gaps alternate with wide fairways from the tee off, and often feels longer than it by the height differences. No hole resembles another, for me an absolute quality feature of the planning. A place for people who are able to walk because of the tw. fairly long connection paths, the rest should take one of the cheap 25 Eur ecarts. Mostly magnificent views far into the forested mountains. Delicious Italian cuisine and really good coffee on the cozy terrace. A wonderful day and certainly not our last visit in Upper churches.
