i saw photos in an old WWOG brochure. Looked like nice movement, good bukering and rich texture.

I played it a few years ago.  A beautiful oasis of heath in the prettiest little suburb of Hamburg, and a pretty well preserved layout.

Walked and played a few weeks ago, by far the best course in northern Germany (blows away Club zur Vahr).

For extensive pictures see:

The course is a mix between Sunningdale and Royal Hague, still pretty much a Colt original (only 3 greens seemed to have changed) and is indeed a beautifull oasis near Hamburg on sandy hills above the Elbe.
