Course Report
The club was founded in 1895, making it one of the oldest golf clubs in Germany and continental Europe.
About
Founded in 1895, Berlin-Wannsee Golf & Country Club is one of Germany’s oldest and most prestigious private clubs. The main 18-hole course, designed with classic parkland features, offers beautifully manicured fairways and greens surrounded by mature trees. Renowned for its serene atmosphere and strategic layout, it combines historical charm with challenging play.
Caddie Tip
Pay attention to your club selection on holes framed by mature oaks, especially on the approach shots—most greens slope back-to-front and are well protected by bunkers. Managing distance control from the fairway is crucial, as many greens run faster than expected. On the 18th, avoid missing long or left.
The Main Challenge
Navigating the mature tree-lined fairways and strategic bunkering requires accuracy and thoughtful shot placement. Several holes feature doglegs and water hazards that penalize wayward shots. Fast, undulating bentgrass greens add difficulty, making putting a crucial part of scoring well.
The Good
Golfers love the classic parkland layout and the tranquility of playing among mature trees, feeling secluded and surrounded by nature even in the busy city of Berlin. The course's strategic design and immaculate conditioning have earned admiration from both members and guests.
The Not So Good
Some players mention that tee times are challenging to secure during peak periods, and the strict private membership policy can limit access for visitors. Occasional slow play during busy weekends is noted, and practice areas could be expanded to handle more players.
