Golf in Berlin

From city-centre courses to traditional clubs and trips to the countryside

Hole out, improve your handicap, perfect your swing: you can do all that in Berlin too! Anyone wanting to pick up a club in the capital will find a surprisingly wide range of golf courses both within the city limits and in the surrounding area. Some courses are close to the city centre and offer excellent practice facilities, whilst others lead out into the countryside, where sweeping fairways, mature trees and well-maintained clubhouses round off your sporting outing.

There’s a club to suit both beginners and advanced players. Many courses offer international standards, memberships and personalised lessons – depending on how much experience you already have and what your goals are on the course. Those who discover Berlin through golf experience the city and its surroundings from a calm, focused and yet very expansive perspective.

Practise, train, get started

The Indoor Golf Club Berlin in Schöneberg offers a great way to get started. To save yourself the trip to the outskirts of the city, you can make use of this state-of-the-art alternative for your daily training. At the TrackMan Lounge, the sport moves into the urban space: instead of traditional grass, you’ll find high-resolution simulators that analyse every swing, ball speed and trajectory with millimetre precision. This weather-independent concept allows you to play world-famous courses virtually, even during your lunch break or after work. Professional trainers on site provide the necessary support, helping you fine-tune your technique.

Those who prefer to start in the north of the city without a long journey will find the Golf Resort Berlin Pankow, a facility that is expressly open to non-members. This makes the course just as attractive to those interested and beginners as it is to advanced players. In addition to golf lessons, there are programmes here to help you get started and guide you through the next steps on the course. This allows you to try out the sport in a relaxed atmosphere before tackling longer rounds.

Tradition and open spaces on the outskirts

The Golf- und Land-Club Berlin-Wannsee is one of Berlin’s most prestigious venues. The historic 27-hole course is idyllically situated amidst the mature trees of the Brandenburg woodland landscape and offers fairways for players of all abilities. In the spacious clubhouse, the restaurant rounds off the visit, allowing for a perfect combination of sporting activity and a relaxing finish.

The Berlin Golf Club Gatow also looks back on a special history. The British Allies founded the “British Golf Club Gatow” in 1969, from which the present-day Berlin Golf Club Gatow e. V. later emerged. Today, you can play here on a course featuring eight original and ten newly built holes.

Not far from there lies the Berliner Golfclub Stolper Heide e. V. in the north of the city, or rather on the outskirts of the Berlin metropolitan area. The club’s East Course features 18 holes, set in a landscape that is perfect for peaceful rounds and focused play. If you prefer to spend your day’s golf away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you’ll find the ideal destination here.

Out into the countryside: courses for a full day’s golf

A little further out of the city, the choice becomes even more extensive: the Golf Resort Bad Saarow on Lake Scharmützel offers three 18-hole courses, providing plenty of scope for rounds of varying lengths. The resort is set amidst stunning natural scenery and caters to golfers of all abilities. An electric buggy service is also available, ensuring your visit remains comfortable and flexible.

The Mahlow Golf Club is similarly versatile. The course has been continuously developed here for over 20 years and now includes a driving range as well as 3-hole, 6-hole and 9-hole courses. This makes the club particularly appealing if you wish to practise at different levels or simply work on your technique at your own pace. In a sense, the course grows alongside the needs of its guests.

At the Groß Kienitz Golf Club & Golf Centre, players of all levels will also find something to suit them. In addition to a 3-hole course for those without a golf licence, there is a public 9-hole course and an 18-hole championship course. This allows you to tailor the course perfectly to your form on the day.

Wide fairways and a well-maintained club culture

The Seddiner See Golf & Country Club is another destination well worth a trip out of the city. The club has received multiple awards under the DGV Environmental Programme and impresses with its grounds maintenance, course management and the interplay of nature and landscape.

The Semlin am See Golf & Country Club adds a real resort feel to this selection. Here, you can not only play on a 27-hole course, but also stay overnight at the clubhouse and make use of the wellness facilities. This easily turns your day’s golf into a longer stay, where sport and relaxation go hand in hand. The resort is therefore ideal not just for a round of golf, but for a whole weekend in the countryside.

The region also boasts other courses such as the Kallin Golf Club, which features an 18-hole and a 9-hole course under the motto ‘Golfing among friends’, or the Golfpark Schloss Wilkendorf, which, with its Westside Course, Sandy Lyle Course and driving range. This shows that golfing in Berlin does not end at the city limits, but unfolds a whole landscape of possibilities around the capital.

Berlin therefore offers an astonishingly diverse setting, not only culturally but also in terms of sport. Between quick practice rounds in the city, traditional clubs on the outskirts and sprawling courses in the surrounding countryside, there is a suitable course for almost every level and every idea you might have for a game.
