Bad place state
Reviewed August 21, 2023
We played the course twice in August 23. Both times we found a pathetic place condition. The height of the fairways almost corresponded in part to the usual height of the semi-rough. The mown grass flew around on all lanes. Actually, the place presented itself more as a meadow than as a golf course.

Noticeable improvement
Reviewed August 8, 2023
Played again as a guest on July 23. A lot has improved since my last visit. In the meantime, a well-kept, interesting facility with a good range area. The new club manager and his team are doing a good job.
A bit long ways, but also a great nature experience if you have an eye for it. Ringed Plovers, birds of prey, deer, see it all.
The gastronomy is also decent; Lack of staff is noticeable; so bring some time.
I will play here again occasionally

Subterranean care condition!
Reviewed March 13, 2022
Place in underground condition in mid-March 2022, with the best weather for days. Greens full of mushrooms and plant debris, fairways full of molehills, trees burst after a storm two weeks ago and not significantly eliminated. Overall an ugly sight!
Discounts ladies and gentlemen from blue!
This can be done better!
Apparently the place was left to its own devices all fall and winter and nothing else was done.
Too bad for the otherwise interesting place!

Could be nicer
Reviewed August 3, 2021
Played many times in 2021. Demanding course, manicured greens. Unfortunately, like the semi-rough, the fairway is often too high. Even in the semi, the ball is very difficult to find and full of clover. The greenkeepers should be used here more often, especially on the weekends. Friendly staff in the golf office, most of the members too.
The sanitary facilities are often dingy and not enough for the many players. The gastronomy is too lavish for the price of drinks and unfortunately also frequented by numerous non-golfers.
All in all, however, it is a beautiful course because demanding and varied golfing is possible.

Golf around the moated castle
Reviewed October 7, 2020
Played on October 7th, 2020. The flat 18-hole course with driving range is located directly on the A1 north of Hamm and south of Ascheberg. The proximity to the A1 has the advantage that you can get there relatively quickly, but you can clearly hear the motorway, especially on the trains directly on the A1. Apart from that, the place is otherwise very idyllic in nature around the handsome moated castle Westerwinkel, which probably houses a museum and can be visited at least at any time from the outside or with a booked tour from the inside. As a guest, you can unfortunately only park in the public castle car park, as the club car park is secured by a barrier. There is no doorbell, the barrier only opens with an access card. At the castle parking lot there is a sign not to leave any valuables in the car! From the parking lot you walk about 300m to the clubhouse and restaurant (not tested). I was welcomed at the clubhouse, as befits a palace square, by a free-roaming peacock. The course offers a variety of lanes with various bunkers and mainly water hazards, often in the form of small streams. There is relatively little rough, but there is a lot of lateral bush, sometimes marked as out of bounds. One or the other tall tree also comes into play. Still, I wouldn't call the place parkland. Most lanes are too open from the tee, so that even high HC should be able to cope. The parallel tracks are usually not separated from each other by trees. Due to the water hazards that come into play, a more strategic game is often required after the tee shot. The condition of my game was more or less okay. Some fairways often had bare and unsightly spots, especially in front of the greens. The mole struck many tracks and here and there too much foreign growth could be seen. A few tees were already a bit worn, where you should move the tee markings more often. But the greens were flawless, loyal and above all not unfair. As a player with normal sporting ambitions, you don't need a cart, but longer distances have to be covered between lanes 3 and 4.9 and 10, as well as 16 and 17. On the way from 9 to 10 (the 10 does not start directly at the clubhouse) you pass the back of the castle, with a nice view of it (a photo is worthwhile). Behind the ladies' tee of 18 is a special "weather protection cave" with a telephone that is placed in the raised tee. Possibly. can you place the order for hole 19 from here!? The game on a rather cloudy Wednesday morning was manageable. As a single player, I ran into a four-way flight at lane 5 and was immediately let through. The members I met greeted friendly. Since I could not see on the homepage whether or not start times are currently being assigned, I called one day in advance and easily received a start time according to my wishes. The lady on the phone and at the counter was very nice, friendly and flexible. You get a code for the toilet access at the halfway house on the 9th tee. The green fee is appropriate at € 50 on weekdays, at € 70 on the weekend, in my opinion, a bit too high. But in a thankful way that promotes golf, no surcharge is accepted for golfers without a hologram on the ID. With the vouchers from Golf Albrecht you get a pleasant 50% discount or 2for1. Behind it, in the clubhouse / building with the restaurant, there is, somewhat hidden, a separate entrance to a small changing room with toilets. If you don't expect a noble meadow or the really big highlights, you can experience solid golf here in a relaxed round around the beautiful moated castle.

No heart for animals
Reviewed July 13, 2018
As a passionate golfer and nature lover, you have to ask yourself if you want to be a member of a club that prefers bird breeding times and therefore other animals' protection times. Completely horrified I had to realize that large trees were felled, hedges radically cut and shrubs were flattened, in July! You do not do something like that and you do not even sound good, but you have lost this one here for a long time. Whether a lady, who has managed to downgrow adjacent gastronomy in no time the right person to manage a golf course is well out of the question. Great head shaking over so much incompetence and audacity

Beautiful 18 hole course around the Westphalian moated castle
Reviewed April 25, 2018
Beautiful parkland course. Fair, mostly wide fairways. But also some tricky tracks, lots of water. Signature Hole is for me the 8th Wonderful nestled in the castle park, old trees.
The care condition is now significantly improved after the wet autumn / winter 2017. Many trees and bushes were pruned, which made the place good.
In the first 9 holes talent tees have been added for teenagers.
The driving range has been equipped with floodlights since the spring of 2018, so that training sessions are also possible at dusk.

What has become of this place?!
Reviewed October 23, 2017
Even if you have to remember that it has rained heavily in the last few weeks, but that can not excuse everything! We played the course some time this year, even in the early summer when the place was dry. We have noticed that the fairways were always too long and very irregularly cut, the greens we know from the time when they were known beyond the borders as very fast, these times are over, slowly uneven... just bad!
This place is on the way to disappear on the map! Pity!

Not a good condition!
Reviewed October 4, 2017
The place, especially the fairways (rather semirough) and the greens (bumpy and with holes) is in no good condition. Various holes on the tracks and partly even in the bunkers demand increased attention in order not to bend badly.
Scenic has the space potential, despite the proximity to the motorway. For a quick round you can play the course.
The catering is unfortunately suitable for the place and annoyed after the round for the second time.

Great Place
Reviewed September 6, 2016
We can play the course after the first round of the club championship. Care condition was fine. The greens pleasant - not too fast. The paths are different - partially open and cost - partly limited by trees. The watercourses require tactical game, but that's fun. The course is flat. You can see the 18 holes run well. The restaurant is also quite nice. Cake was great. Evening the kitchen was closed, however, because of preparations for the next day of the Club Championship. On the terrace walked around a peacock. Great experience for a city boy. A visit to the place worthwhile in any case. Also worth mentioning is still the very friendly reception at the Secretariat. We will definitely go back.

Veto!
Reviewed September 17, 2013
Today we were in a four-Flight in Westerwinkel! A beautiful day - like a holiday! The parking lot was not the way! Of course, there is a sign that you should not leave any valuables lying open in his car! We were greeted very nicely! Nettles and brambles far we have only seen the outside, the haircuts and especially the greens were in good condition! In the restaurant I had a delicious Tarte with leek and ham!
PS I could not complain about the heavy rain showers, but that is no penalty! ;)

Beautiful park, but that was about it
Reviewed September 16, 2013
Scenic quite charmingly situated although the plant clings directly to the noisy highway. Interesting and varied, but it massively lacks care of both the fairways and especially the greens. Moreover, everything is overgrown with brambles and nettles. Sanitary and closely fuffig are probably only 1x cleaned early in the morning. Restaurant unimaginative. Parking unattached, very remote and apparently completely insecure: Signs warn against burglars and thieves in parked vehicles. The green fee is in proportion to the care and condition of the total offer.

What s service - absolutely great
Reviewed October 17, 2010
Now we have for the second time visited the club Westerwinkel.
On our first visit in May 2010, we found the place in great condition and we enjoyed the round properly.
Even during this visit we were impressed by the friendliness of the receptionist "Peter".
Also in our group in October 2010, Peter has made the circumstances "continuous rain" by his easy-going nature, through his kindness and courtesy more than compensates.
Thanks a million - we would love to come again at any time.
