Golf All Year Round: Why Every Season Is Worth It
Why golf is worth it from spring to winter.
„Golf? That’s a summer thing.“ Hardly. If you limit golf to the warm months, you miss three quarters of the fun. Every season has its own character on the course – especially on the Lower Rhine, where the climate is mild and the season long. A plea for the full golfing year.
Spring: the course wakes up
When the fairways awaken from hibernation, the loveliest time begins for many: fresh green, mild temperatures, the first long evenings. Spring is also the ideal beginner season – start with a trial course now and you will hold your course permit by midsummer with a whole season ahead. At our place in the Nieper Kuhlen there is a bonus: the surrounding nature reserve positively explodes with life – birdsong included with every tee shot.
Summer: high season – with insider tips
Long days, dry fairways, evening rounds into dusk: summer remains the royal season. Two tips from our members: the early morning hours are the best of summer golf – dew-fresh course, soft light, hardly any traffic. And after the round, the clubhouse terrace awaits – the legendary 19th hole. For goosebump golf, book the last tee time of the day and play into the sunset.
Autumn: the connoisseurs‘ secret
Ask experienced golfers about their favourite time and surprisingly many say: autumn. Golden light, quiet fairways, that special clear air – and the colours! Our course with its old trees turns into a painting in October. Sportingly, autumn is ideal for working on technique: the season rush is over, tee times are plentiful, and softer fairways forgive the odd fat shot.
Winter: range, winter greens and anticipation
Yes, golf works in winter too – on the Lower Rhine more often than you would think. On mild, dry days a winter round is special: clear air, empty fairways, hot tea at the halfway house. And when the course takes a break, the driving range remains: practise regularly over winter and you will start spring with a swing the hibernators can only dream of. Pro tip: winter is perfect for technique lessons – every one pays off in spring.
What this means for learning golf
The beautiful consequence: there is no wrong time to start. Spring and summer lure with picture-book conditions, autumn and winter with calm, free tee times and plenty of attention from the pro. Our trial courses run all year – we factor the weather into scheduling quite pragmatically.
365 days of anticipation, four completely different courses for the price of one: that is golf through the year on the Lower Rhine.
