Hamburger Golf Club Falkenstein
« on: August 08, 2007, 12:47:41 PM »

I played Hamburger G C for the first time a few days ago, here are some photos of my visit.
I've played quite a few "Colt"courses including De Pan,Eindhoven & Swinley Forest.
The Hamburger is not a overly long course,but makes good use of the Hilly Terrain and plays some what longer.



 
Hole 1 293m.A gentle opener.


 
After a good long iron or 3 wood your left with a pitch to a steeply sloping green



Hole 2 502m.A fade off the Tee sets the hole up perfect.



The elevated green leaves a tricky pitch for your third.



Hole 3 213m.



Hole 4 432m.A short Par 5,to short a good drive down the left leaves not much more then a mid iron.





Hole 5 365m.



Looking back down the fairway



Hole 6 375m.The bunker down the right is 248m of the tee.Anything much shorter leaves the following view.




Hole 7 324m.Keep it down the left for a better view of the flag.





Hole 8 162m.What I would call a typical Colt Par 3,similar to several holes at the Royal Haag, The Kennemer and Royal Zoute.



Hole 9 385m.Keep the drive down the left side


Second shot


Where not to hit it.

The Second nine in a few days.

Is the course as tight as it looks in your photos?

I didn't find the course overly tight. There are a couple of dog leg holes were you can run out of fairway.
However like most older courses it could do with some tree removal.
