Exciting course, domestic links
Reviewed October 5, 2023
We had a very windy day, which didn't necessarily make the course any easier, but it gave us a real left-hand feeling. The condition was good and we had a nice round. We were allowed to spend the night in our motorhome in the parking lot. The restaurant would actually have been closed that day, but since there was a small celebration going on, we were spontaneously allowed to choose from two dishes. Very good taste and huge portions for a very reasonable price. We were looked after very attentively by the boss. Thank you.

Nice place with Ireland feeling

Played again after 6 years. Still the same pleasure.
Got better and longer - that was my undoing. A lot of balls disappeared in the rough and then it got difficult here

Successful imitation - still disappointing
Reviewed September 25, 2020
Played in June 2020, handicap 12
Yes, the imitation of a "left" square has been successful in many respects!
Brutal rough - if you ever find the ball again, you need very good technique and strong wrists to get it back into play. Delicate women's hands hardly have a chance - but the ladies are always lying on the fairway anyway ... ;-)
Lots of blind strokes - somewhere behind the next hill the track will definitely continue. Unfortunately, the player who is unfamiliar with the location does not always know exactly where - some high stakes or similar directional aids would be appropriate here. For this reason, too, the use of a cart is recommended - with it you can quickly drive to the next hill and see whether the flight ahead is already out of range and where a landing zone is possibly.
In addition, the use of a buggy is advisable as protection against the strong, left-wing typical wind (even if hard-core Scots might ask - wind? Which wind?). For us inland residents, this wind is actually the biggest challenge. The motif is the same throughout - determine from where and in what force it is blowing, choose the right club (easily up to 3 irons more or less than usual) and then Hit the ball in / against / with the wind so that it is blown as far as possible and not into the rough!
There are no other notable challenges - the railways are very similar overall, almost boring. Sorry, I would have expected more originality from the well-known designer (Palmer).
The largely barren landscape is similar to the left (you can like it, but you don't have to). Unfortunately, quite disgusted, you can see the electricity pylons, wind turbines and the two fat (cooling?) Towers of a nearby power station.
On the other hand, atypical to the left:
Sure - no sea nearby, so it CANNOT be LEFT.
As a kind of compensation there are some water hazards (which you will look for in vain on real links courses), which can actually be in play on approx. 5 to 6 lanes.
You won't find the typical Scottish pot bunkers either. This of course makes the place a little easier, especially since the numerous and large existing bunkers are EXZELLENTly maintained! Very fine, very playable sand of the best quality!
In general - the maintenance condition:
Greens, fairways, semi-rough, tees, bunkers - everything is TIPP-TOPP in good shape. Huge compliments to the greenkeeping team!
Unfortunately, the greens are also a bit boring overall - not particularly large, but hardly undulating - 3-putts shouldn't actually occur.
My general disappointment is not due to the fact that it is not a "real" link, but rather from the very high expectations. The place is always sensationally praised and rated high - but in my opinion you have to make too many compromises (few original paths, boring greens, ugly landscape, too many blind strokes).
Conclusion: I would like to play the course again - but only when I have "worked through" all the other courses in the area. Very good 3 stars (especially for the green keeping) - unfortunately it is not enough for more. (In the "Golf Bear Ranking": 6 out of 10 points.)

Great links course
Reviewed July 9, 2020
This course, designed by Arnold Palmer, offers everything apart from the sea breeze that you would expect from a good left course:
Undulating fairways and greens, strategically placed bunkers, often noticeable wind, which has a direct influence on the game and unfortunately also merciless rough. The course is in a very good and well-kept condition, the greens are quick and true to track. Since the course is a bit off the beaten track, you can often play here in peace and quiet and the employees also contribute to a relaxed and familiar atmosphere.

Very neat golf course
Reviewed July 19, 2019
"Traditional Links Course, one of Germany's two Arnold Palmer golf courses". Fast greens, sophisticated design that entertains and challenges you. Chipping and putting equipment (illuminated at night) more than exhaustive and difficult to use completely in just one day, but again convinced the good design. The first and the last holes 1-9,10-18 harbor water hazards that have it in them.
Especially a later start time is worth it because of the sunset. Finally, the competent service convinced me holistically at the reception as well as in the gastro.
I am happy for 18th hole and a delicious beer again to Rethmar.

Great links course with lots of water
Reviewed June 16, 2019
Finally Rethmar played, what can I say: worth playing, great links course, not easy, lots of water, very hilly, many obstacles, zero boring, quite the opposite. Very well maintained place, greens were top. Training facilities in top condition, Secretariat very friendly, the green fee ne bottle of water and a nut bar - nice touch! ... Gastronomy ok - in my opinion but in need of improvement. I'll play the place again in any case.

After a long break, we played again. The former top place is on the way up again.
The condition is again very good. The greens are not yet as fast as years ago, but still good to play.
Overall, it was a great round in a great place. Always happy.

Top links course
Reviewed August 23, 2017
Inspired by the positive reviews, we spontaneously entered a stop in Lower Saxony. In short, we were thrilled!
Everything from the ambience of the clubhouse, the staff there, fairways and greens fit perfectly!
The playing tracks are partly demanding, but are also playable for less "good" handicappers.
Thumbs up for the facility!

True Links Course
Reviewed July 31, 2016
A domestic links at its best, it lacks only the sea. The Arnold Palmer team has designed a real gem here. After years poor maintenance condition of the place after the takeover by Gleidingen is again flourishing in old quality. Only the legacies of many geese / ducks on some fairways are sometimes annoying. Otherwise, a real champion chip space, which is topped in Germany only by Winston or Budersand. A must if you want to play in the region. Clear the place in Niedersachsen.

Links course Top - Restaurant flop
Reviewed June 5, 2016
The place itself is very nicely laid out and in a perfect conditions. A links course of much fun and the excursions in the Lower Saxony "Outback" is always worth.
What, however, is not at all: the restaurant has a larger celebration on Saturday evening apparently occurred. The remains of it were distributed in the morning on the entire terrace - food and drink residue, cigarette butts and broken glass! Even after we returned from our round, the terrace was still in the same state!
Overall cleanliness in the restaurant and plumbing was probably still very influenced by the effects of the Party...

Best links course?
Reviewed September 22, 2015
I was told that this place the most beautiful links course Germany is... and it would be presumptuous to say that this is so. But I can say that I played no more beautiful links course in Germany. The place reminded me of Ireland, where many places have such beautiful modellations how here. The greens were in excellent condition and fast. The place was generally an exceptionally good care condition.
The lady at the desk was extremely nice. I can not say anything about the restaurant.
One Sunday I paid € 55 for this place and the place was worth every euro. I hope that the management now does not think about it to raise the price, because there are many places that do not have this level by far and highlight only the outrageous price yourself.
This place is worth a detour at any time larger

We played the course today and are thrilled. No comparison to last year. The takeover of the square by the new operator of golf Gleidingen pays off.
The paths are well maintained, the greens fast but in a very good condition.
The bad image is based on the incumbent operators and the state in 2014. In order for the court was adopted again, the new operator should perform appropriate actions.

A beautiful links course
Reviewed September 17, 2015
I played the first nine holes in mid-September, on a rather dull day - so I can almost rule it out, that leaves me tempted sunny weather to overly positive reviews.
I have a wonderful undulating links course played, the greens and fairways were very well prepared, and its layout is really appealing. The (z. T rich) bunkers were filled with ordinary sand.
A truly wonderful surprise in the deep-down axes.
When I read the comments so I believe that the Course for a reorientation of the day is better.
Therefore, certainly has the positive assessment of Mr. Witte Brock its full authority, as perhaps the most critical voices which are lagging behind a little. The beautiful clubhouse and the friendly staff have completed positively the Gulf afternoon for me.
Because of this current impression I give my input remark remembered calling, like four star.
Not subside Rethmar!!

I can not understand the previous review completely. I have played the course today and can only recommend everyone to do the same. The place is outstanding beautiful. Challenging but not unfair. However, a laser Plays the flags recommended because wrap some tricky greens around obstacles. With technical assistance or knowledge better place I would have probably. some balls less lost :-)
Exercise area and Range are a dream.
The haircuts are perfectly fine, the fairways raspelkurz, the greens were very fast if not always very directionally stable but donated. If you need to alien terrain times 3 putts I do not get angry. The bunkers were top 90%. The unfinished were highlighted in blue. Also fine.
And the rough is high, as I expect that of a links course. But they are not very dense, so you could always play the ball.
One can see that you are working hard, super prepare the space.
But thanks!
Very nice staff, even a candy bar and a drink there was. Good food, good food, nice service.
I give 4 stars with a clear upward trend. Here 5, also to counter the criticism of other incomprehensible writer.
All in all a great day and I'm very happy to be back!

Bad place
Reviewed May 29, 2015
A very disappointing golf course. The greens are bad and the bunkers are filled with bad sand.
The greens are many poor places peppered where you can not putt putt straight.
The fairways are but mediocre also have shortcomings.
Such as Bad mowed lawn and weeds...
The worst is that Raff. Consisting of about one meter tall grass.
Here you will find no ball again...

After heavy rain some "lakes" in the square also iff the drains were verbesert still.

Overall, significant upward trend, the court system itself had always been outstanding. It will!

Bad
Reviewed November 5, 2014
I have played there and was expecting the worst. It was worse. The bunkers are filled with clay and the great sand mountains look like a scene from Lord of the Rings. To demand € 25 green fee is a joke. The greens have already seen better times, I think. The coffee and cake was good, but I'm not going to golf. Better look for another place when the expect.

Unacceptable
Reviewed July 6, 2014
We knew from previous games that the unkempt fairways and the greens are mangy, but since we could play in this partner club for 50% as members of the GC St. Pauli, agreed the price-performance ratio. But this time we were told by an extremely rude staff that there would be no more discounts. Partnership is different. Conclusion: There is still worse. Rather than mess up the beautiful day, rather play the same on a Andren place.

Design top, no care.
Reviewed April 27, 2014
We were forewarned. In the reviews is everywhere that the care is bad and that has come true. But Arnold Palmer design that made Curious. I then but had better call if there was beseondere information, Nope: Tournament start 11:30 because we can play at 14h. Then was not a problem, the system empty. Range is nice, huge wide and also chipping and putting huge and well maintained.
The condition is described as anywhere. Teas not particularly well maintained, fairways with plenty of clover but short and the greens are ripped from the winter so that hobbles the ball. However, he was still good on the line, not great but still ok. Rough are short, there still April.
The design I really liked, many bunkers, but you can avoid them. The sand is hard, but you come out with the first blow. Not too much water, great on the 11 and 18 via 160/180 m above the water from the tee. (Did despite poor condition Stored 40 STBL.) Sekretäriat and beverage service was friendly, there is a good discount for young people. We found it good.

What a pity!
Reviewed November 7, 2013
Have the place as "golf buddy 96" rated before. The space below is from the design outstanding, hard but never unfair. a real highlight. Since the owner is insolvent was hardly invested in the care, the once fastest greens in Lower Saxony only a shadow of itself with great bodies without grass, clover to the unkempt fairways and bunkers in the swamp. Since the cheat label helps "natural place as it was in Scotland" nothing. For the care of the state space is too expensive, the coming winter could give him the rest. I regret this very much, really bad drum! Club house and care for it is a star for design makes 5 3 YET, the trend is falling fast

Awful in every aspect!
Reviewed May 10, 2013
I did not even expect the finest of the negative comments but the space under surpasses itself..
Parking: dusty, planes unloving, reminiscent of campsite-storage facilities in the North Sea, missing only the employees with the parking tickets.
Clubhouse: Clubhouse? probably converted warehouse with new attached roof. The columns appear ridiculous to the architecture. The interior together carelessly. All too cramped.
Showers: too few, too old, too tight
Driving Range: underground poor condition.
no ordinary level possible, no more grass available, ground as hard as concrete, Schlägermordend, seemingly completely without care
Fairways: poor general condition, laced with feces of wild birds, very poor lawn condition
Greens: Catastrophic condition, hard concrete, very ungeflegte surface, very poor lawn condition, complete moss interspersed
Conclusion: Each euro guest green fee is a waste of money and harms the hoped beautiful day.

Upgradable...
Reviewed June 16, 2012
The place has the sporty character of design and as such the potential to stand out from the space of the Hanover region.
To the great chagrin, there are some big negatives:
- The driving range does not deserve the name. The Rasa deductions consist almost entirely of sand. Solid state is not guaranteed and hitting has nothing in common with the condition at the tee or on the fairway. Is it possible to be the same, also protects the bat...
- The bunkers are, depending on weather conditions, in a state of fine gravel and ready-mix concrete.
- The greens are furrowed by aeration and partially dead. Putting is a matter of luck, especially when the greens are dry.

Reviewed May 14, 2012
I have played the course last weekend and have to say that the way out of Rethmar not worth it! I have played the course several times and have to say that you can see a clear downward spiral. The Secretariat is sporadically decorated in a space where all cables are scattered on the ground and any cardboard boxes on the floor. The staff was extremely rude and otherwise you can only attest to the place a very weak condition. The range with the green and chipping area is in a disastrous state, and it actually makes a big difference if you practice with them at home in the front yard or just there on the system.
The place itself is as always strewn with goose crap, otherwise ok for the plant. The greens are but then again the worst thing you can get! It has made no difference in my opinion between the asphalt on the road and as such the Green! There are probably any type of mushroom in the world on this miserable greens!
Well yes you can you make yourself like a picture, but I will not take the road safe again for me!

An outstanding design can be the 18-hole course at Hanover really not deny, but that the court should include, according to one of the various rankings of the 50 most beautiful in Germany, for me, in my lap (mid-August 2011) with the best will comprehensible.
The place is its location in a flat landscape extremely susceptible to wind, what is indeed somehow expect from a links course and therefore may accept even humble. But if you must mess on the round part completely dried up, badly battered and excrement of the numerous geese, ducks, etc. strewn fairways and with unacceptable because stone interspersed bunkers to the fun factor in all the joy of Desgin and optics reduced but sustainable. In can then no longer the friendly staff and good service in the restaurant consolation.
Regarding the club house, I wonder if the architect responsible for this (if there was one at all) has not been locked up behind, for which I would, however, very understanding. My taste hit the building at any rate not at all, especially the shower was kind of pretty strange. I will volunteer in any case no longer visit this plant!
