Playing in the wind summer of 2023
Reviewed July 31, 2023
When we played, the wind typical of the year was pretty strong again. Due to the altitude, the wind comes into its own.
But that's emotionally part of a links course.
And the course has everything that belongs to a links course.
The condition of the fairways was a pity. There's just too much clover growing here and it's quite tall.
The layout and the views are very nice though.
The signage is definitely to be criticized. We were first at the university sports facilities, but there are only driving range and short course. So build it back together and drive to the Haxterhöhe. However, there is no range there.

Good place with a view over Paderborn
Reviewed October 9, 2022
It's always fun to play here. The karst landscape incorporated into the course design is something special. The condition of the course was good and the greens were on track but only moderately fast. Unfortunately, the motorway was clearly audible this time and we found the adjacent airfield with a major flight day annoying.

Something special - also for the soul
Reviewed October 28, 2021
Played: mid-October 2021.1x9 with overcast skies and LOTS of wind and 1x9 hole with beautiful weather
That was the first links course we ever played. It was a lot of fun and the many bunkers on the way to the green were a special challenge for the mind.
Everything was very well cared for, and it was also demanding. When I heard the word university I would not have thought of a SOOO well-kept and beautifully landscaped place!
Further advantages:
+ The secretariat was very nice,
+ you got a birdie book that really helped
+ good signage on the square,
+ a really very open and friendly cooperation,
+ the LogoShirt and shop selection is good and
+ the gastro has a really very good gastronomy with organic quality and sustainability.
But be careful: the address in the navigation system may not be correct. It is Höxterpark and not G...
When we are in the Paderborn area again, we will definitely play there again.

A touch of Scotland
Reviewed August 31, 2021
First of all: a manicured, brutal meadow like Faldo / Bad Saarow or Winston Links / Schwerin cannot be found here. On August 31,2021 - after many rainy days - we found a well-tended space with a great layout. The entire facility is "down to earth", ie down to earth in the best sense of the word.
The "weekend warrior" also has a good chance to bring home a good score. The place has already been aptly described by Hummel and others in my opinion.
In addition, there is a very nice restaurant that is not only frequented by golfers. Archers and boules players also have their home here. Nice view from the clubhouse over the entire spacious square.
Incidentally, the prices are also Scottish: GF EUR 44.00. For 2 people with leisure breaks. And that for a top links course in Germany. Unbeatable.

Reviewed November 29, 2020
If you are looking for links golf, you will find it here. Fast, hard and undulating greens set no limits to creativity around greenery. The different holes are varied and the wind and the contours make the course play longer than it appears on the sheet of paper. Cleverly positioned bunkers require good layups from the player, as the greens should always be approached from the right angle. The course offers different challenges for all game levels without being unfair.
Overall, the facility impresses with its modern approach to golf. Dogs and strollers on the pitch are no surprise. A comparable atmosphere that is emitted by members, greenkeepers and secretariat is not easy to find on German golf courses. We will definitely come back from Cologne.

Always happy
Reviewed September 10, 2020
As a repeat offender, the same great golf experience after a year. This place is really always a challenge. In top condition, very well maintained and with fast greens. Unfortunately, this time we had some "overripe" women in front of us at runway 10, five of whom started immediately in front of us. When asked in a friendly manner whether the players in the full round had priority, they insisted on their "start time". Since they already saw us on lane 9, it would have been easy to let us continue playing smoothly. In my opinion, etiquette is different. But that didn't affect our enjoyment of the game. It won't be our last lap on this outstanding place.

Average golf course
Reviewed October 16, 2019
I arrived with great expectations, as good reviews on 1golfeu and 1-2 years ago have been a positive review in a golf magazine. Unfortunately, this is not the actual situation. I played the course in early October 2019. Reductions in miserable care condition, fairways for the most part not mowed. Greens were good and relatively fast. Generally, the place made a very bad care condition. One had the feeling that the club is not financially well. With a Links Platz has little to do. No comparison to Buddersand, Winston, or Faldoplatz. Service in the Proshop was very friendly. After the round (17 clock) no one was there, no catering, no toilets. On the positive side, I played with a member who was very nice and gave me good tips on where to play. Become this place but def. avoid and can not recommend.

Top inland links golf course
Reviewed October 7, 2019
It remains a beautiful inland left course but also sloping. Partly due to this subtle height, a beautiful, fun, challenging job will differ. Good teeboxes, fairways and greens with light undulations. Highly recommended.

A must for lovers of linkscourse
Reviewed September 21, 2019
What a great place in Links Design. Challenge on fairways and greens, but fair. Very good care condition. In the most beautiful sunshine, it was pure enjoyment and therefore a great holiday start.
The reception in the Secretariat very friendly, the Gastro very delicious. Our dog was allowed to join the group. Everything was right. We like to come back.

Most beautiful round of the year 2018
Reviewed September 20, 2018
After what I had read before, I came to Paderborn with great expectations, but even these were surpassed. The course is in excellent condition despite the very dry summer. The greens were good to play even though a top dressing had just taken place (Green 10 was closed to me, the others not). Overall, I was very satisfied with an 85 round at Handicap 14, with 40 putts. I'll be back, and certainly more than once. I will definitely recommend the course, especially because it is suitable for all skill levels. The concept is simple, the atmosphere is good and uncomplicated. Keep it up, and enjoy more in Germany!

Interesting linkscoure in good condition
Reviewed August 29, 2018
The links course is compared to other golf courses not so burned and dried up. The fairways and greens are in good condition, despite the warm and dry season. The place is fair, not so long and balls almost everywhere. It's a lot of fun and a different game of golf. The many bunkers are hardly a problem and easily playable.
The service in the club office and restaurant is great and very friendly.

Open trains on the motorway
Reviewed September 28, 2017
Overall nice place to play. Great greens, through the grass used they have a bit "shaggy", but they play great.
The access to the 18-hole course is not the "Sportanlage" signposted. Also not "golf academy" (that is the range). Proper is "biogas plant" (...).
The range is a good 5-minute walk from the 18-hole course. There, then old mats, partly "onduliert" :-)
Through the left design (open space, no trees), the eye has nothing to hold on to. Therefore, the estimation of distances is very difficult.
Everywhere there are large waste areas, all of which are filled with rubble. From this one can play, but I would only recommend with an ancient Wedge. It would be sensible to mark these areas as water hazards.
The adjoining highway is in the ear.

Hello Olligator,
Thank you for your feedback and nice that you had fun with the golfing.
The division of our facility (18-hole course vs. range / 9-hole course) is due to the development history. On our website, we try to simplify the route according to your needs:
https: // www. haxterpark. com / golf / contact / reach /
The gravel surfaces and trenches mentioned by you are intended to reveal the limestone subsoils typical of the Haxterhöhe. We also had the idea of marking as a water barrier - and have it as a place rule since the first day on the scorecard;)
The fact that the noises of the adjoining federal road on the square can be perceived in the unfavorable direction of the wind is also unquestionable. This is certainly a structural disadvantage of a place close to the city.
You always a nice game
Tim

Best Place
Reviewed August 28, 2017
A jewel of Inland Links course, for me better than Rethmar, my home place.. Excellent place of care of the fairways and the numerous bunker, the greens somewhat dull and unfortunately Pilzinfiziert therefore somewhat bumpy. The place was felt by us 4 (HC 14-22) as heavier than gerated, because the light of the glass-like greens are really not easy to play and too long balls are often punished. But overall a visual highlight with a view over the Paderborner valley, excellenze and inexpensive kitchen in the attractive clubhouse. Anyone who is dissatisfied with hole 19 must be a member of Pebble Beach. Unreserved recommendation, this place, always gladly again!

My favourite place!!!
Reviewed August 25, 2017
I've played the place more often and am an absolute fan of it. It is not too difficult and not too easy to cope with and therefore also for less good golfers to cope well. As soon as I have the opportunity, I will play him again.
Also the people in the secretariat and in the gastronomy are good. This is the place to be in a good mood and feel welcome as a guest. That's how it should be!! Unfortunately not my home place, but my favorite place! (Ps: Please do not be surprised if you meet an ass in the roughs that mow there.) No joke.)

Links Course in East Westphalia-Lippe
Reviewed June 27, 2015
Very good course design in the style of a links course. Nice simple restaurant with terrace. Class apple pie and friendly service. Unfortunately the airfield and surrounding roads disturbs something.
I played on a Sunday for 50 € Greenfee an unkempt place - the fairways were not mowed for some time, as the green (there grew visible fungi and weeds), had the feeling I Putte on a closely mown Flokatiteppich, Bunker also unkempt, not hooked, strong Pilbefall on the greens is generally noted that tee boxes were played and also not mowed, many brown spots on the fairways. All this does not justify a green fee of 50 €
The label is not taken so seriously in this club, let through play is unusual - although 4 men looking ahead Flight their balls in the rough.
Resumé: not necessarily reflect, although I like to play links courses.

Fast Links Golf
Reviewed May 19, 2015
With super Father's Day Weather Ideal conditions. It goes uphill always easy, so look back over Paderborn to Teuteburger forest is great. The course is in great condition, only the green could be shorter. For a true links course, the bunkers are then too harmless, but look at the wooden planks great (there are relief).

Links Golf Feeling in Ostwestfahlen-Lippe
Reviewed July 7, 2014
The 18-hole course (there is also a 9-hole short course) just behind the University of Paderborn pulls herself up on a permanent slight increase a small hill. At the top, then you have a beautiful view over Paderborn to the Teutoburg Forest. The place is not to be compared with the real British links courses but does have a left character, not least because of the lack of trees, the many "pot bunkers" and the tall grass / rough. The many "stone canyons" also make it not easy to play his HC. Hitting the "rocky gorges" then the ball verspringt often the case that a recovery is difficult and you should take the place rule "water hazard" grateful to complete. There are on the court but also a real water hazard. The tracks are varied and the maintenance condition was quite satisfactory, albeit often undulating greens like could be a bit faster. The theater's operations on a sunny Saturday morning was quite manageable. It can be booked online tee times, but I did not feel the need to wait long if you come without a start time. In the office you are served as guest friendly and wants to play outside the opening times, one uses the practical greenfee mailbox. The green fee is reasonable and for the region almost cheap. A surcharge for guests without hologram one must not pay thankfully. Here the sport is paramount and that is a good thing. Since the driving range is separated with the connected short course by the B64 from the 18-hole course, must be, who wants to take, then put into the car and drive about 1 km to the 18-hole course. There is something special to play such a place in the middle of Germany. The ecological aspects, such as the wooden tee signs are not to be overlooked here and make a round of an unforgettable experience.

Great place and even in the rain... playable
Reviewed May 28, 2014
We were angekommem on 27/05/2014 on a golf trip with 6 men here in the pouring rain. The Secretariat was just amazing, we should just play times and in this rainy weather we find a green fee solution.
The place was well playable despite the continuous rain, the many bunkers made it very difficult to many colleagues :-)
We played despite the rain, the hole 18 and thanks to the catering for the great service.
We come in sunshine again.

Inland links course
Reviewed October 20, 2013
We played the course in October 2013. You really have the impression to be on the coast. This was reinforced by fresh wind, rain and sun. The course itself was interesting to play in very good condition and care through the cleverly placed bunkers. Only the Greens did not like us. They were unpredictable. Overall, we have played here but certainly not the last time.

A great place...
Reviewed September 1, 2012
I had the opportunity to play the 18-hole course at the university. An absolutely great place. The mixture is immersed in a terrain as you would not expect it in Scotland in Paderborn.
The place is very varied and requires relatively precise game if you want to keep the ball in loss limits. The high density rough around the fairways eats the balls literally.
€ 20 green fee for 9 holes are also more than fair for such a great place.

Great for those who have not yet married :)
Reviewed May 29, 2012
This course offers a nice and friendly Atmoshäre. Above all, children are given the change here, to begin with golfing. In addition still at a great annual fee. No one is forced equal to 3 hours of training to join the club. The Youth training is very varied and is not intended to suggest only stubborn balls.
This makes playing golf fun, nice people, nice environment.

Peronal nice - bad 9 hole space-
Reviewed April 26, 2012
Had the opportunity to play golf in Paderborn. The 18 hole course was occupied by a tournament. Therefore, only the 9-hole field was available.
What there for € 20 to me - was offered, I have already described as impudence. Placed before the original wild haircuts haircuts. There it looked as if normally around the corner from the farmers graze cattle there. The absolute (negative) peak are the greens.
I do not know if that will look different during the year. Some things you can not repair the missing these days sun.
But I would like to mention that the counter lady was very helpful and very friendly.
