Golf- und Land-Club Berlin-Wannsee

The Golf- und Land-Club Berlin-Wannsee e.V. was founded in 1895 and thus is the oldest golf club in Germany. It had a very eventful history, at first it was named “Berlin Golf Club” and had its first course in Berlins Westend, by 1924 it moved its location to Wannsee and received its current name. The current german president and two former presidents are members of the club, reflecting its social status here in Berlin. The club is very member-oriented, understandable, considering the amount of money and the effort you have to put in to become a member.

Should you be willing to pay the highest greenfees in Berlin, you can enjoy a 9 hole short course (2.069 meters, Slope: 102, CR 62,3) and an 18 hole championship course (5.875 meters, Slope: 127, CR: 70,5), both embedded into the beautiful Wannsee forest (see my fotos on flickr!).
