Since we probably still have to go there. In a direct comparison of the two Army golf courses Munster carbon
bit (as reported ) and the British Army Golf Club in Lohheide at Hohne in Bergen Belsen at Celle, near Hanover in it at 1-1. A decision where to play golf now better tanks, is still pending.
Club: Even in Britain it is too casual. The green fee is here to put behind any one tonne if no one is there and the term "label" only comes into play when it is really important. So quickly play rumbrüllen not. Whether one has a collar on the shirt, however anyone interested. Very nice.
The club is tucked away in a military zone. Only those who "forbidden passage! signs" no respect for and tracked vehicles will, by the square. Consists of a nine hole course with 18 different tees (also as in Munster). But unfortunately, in terms of reduction already in the winter usually force. It is to play two rounds of the same discount that is what the score a little distorted.
The place: Prima! Here, too, is dispensed largely on expensive water hazards and bunkers set to green, and - horrible - to the good old Erika. This evil heath plant can disappear too short balls from the tee forever. But whoever comes into play has a good chance to find his warped balls. The rough under the trees is again very pleasant. Total
makes the system a little unkempt than the competition in Munster, but the place is a bit more varied. Wide fairways alternate with scary narrow path through the trees and occasionally it is also up and down times. The bottom line is: A place of his money (15 € green fee on weekdays, 25 € on weekends) is definitely worth it. For players who usually rotate with Beckenbauer in A-Rosa and St. Leon Rot their rounds, is Lohheide (and Munster), however, no visit. If only because there are no marshals, all the shit together, not ever appeared on television or have less than three cars. Here is no such thing Marshals (or e-carts). The British officer (and the gambling enlisted including their children) just knows how to behave on a golf course. Clubs are always thrown away by the audience.
The ambience: british through and through! "Sorry, we do not speak German," says the pro shop, a small hut in front of Club House, a slightly larger hut. There, the hot potato chips, and everywhere there are paintings of uniform beams with British names (the club founder is Major Mc O'Hearthnthnithchyson or so. And of course he looks like John Cleese). It is a modest ambience, which nevertheless reeks of tradition. Impressive name plates show great British players here in have sweetened the past four or five decades, the Army life with best-ball matches and skins to the modest pay of Her Majesty. Even players without the label having to do here at the entrance to her back straight, with a "god save the queen" "the" morn'sir "the bartender in the smoky bar area respond and the first tee stroll
The tank factor. One may hard to believe, but here the Brits have the edge during our game, an estimated 40 tanks have thundered in place by Here comes Munster -.. despite the great for those scoring area situated next to the tank training area (by the way, also "Range" is ") - not with. There I counted more than a dozen tanks. Here Hohne ironed out the deficiencies in the place comparison.
The conclusion: Even in Lohheide / Hohne / Belsen / Bergen / Hanover is: Golf need not be expensive and snotty. Who comes "Army forearm tattoos" still wants to learn and value on a truly relaxing round of golf is right here. The chips are great, I recommend this, even in times of bird flu, the chicken nuggets. And as a little tribute to the German guests is even a sausage.
