Tipp von Stephan Peters

Keep the first stroke on this par-5 slightly to the left. It is better to position the second stroke at the left side of the two-part fairway. Care is also advisable when playing out of the green bunker, because the green slopes down towards the water.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

The most difficult hole on this golf course awaits you. Your driver should stay in the bag. Lay the first ball in front of the water. Good players attack with the second stroke, but plan this stroke very carefully. The green slopes downwards and is guarded by water in front and by bunkers at the sides and rear. If the second stroke goes too far to the left, play a provisional ball.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

Starting from the tee-off, aim onto the left of the three bunkers. You don’t have much room for error – therefore prefer to play rather too short than too long. When the wind is behind them, long hitters can reach the green with the first stroke. When doing this, aim at the 100-metre post, on the left across the hard rough. Caution: Karnickelberg hill with dense hard rough, gorse, bushes and trees, lies about 11 yards behind the green.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

A nice par-3 – and up to 148 feet higher than the lowest point on the WINSTONopen course. Gentlemen play from Karnickelberg hill. Caution: the conditions are almost always windless on the hill, due to the old clump of trees. Watch the treetops. If the ball goes to the right, you have hardly any chance of finding it again.

Weiß

Blau

Rot

Orange

254

Tipp von Stephan Peters

A straight par-4 towards an unusually raised green – you can take out the driver and drive straight ahead. But take care with the stony ditch extending along the right-hand side as far as the back of the green. The stroke to the green should lie safely on or well in front of the green, because a pot bunker lined with wooden planks lies in the middle. Golf course service: There is an intermediate hut with a WC and drinks station at the tees.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

An architectural masterpiece: overcome the stony gully with the first stroke. If there is a headwind, consider a stroke in front of the ditch. There is a deep depression in front of the green. Therefore you should choose your club carefully so as to cross over the valley. Because if the ball does not reach the green and is too short, it can roll back up to 30 yards.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

Hole 7 is in a picturesque position and offers a beautiful view over the Vorbeck Lake. The green is well guarded by two bunkers. Directly in front, a stream crosses the hole as a “penalty area”. At the tee, pay attention to the wind strength and height difference.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

Hole 8 slopes down slightly to the left. With the first stroke, aim at the third bunker – but Be Careful: don’t play too far to the right, because hole 9 already begins there. The eighth green is also the lowest point on the WINSTONopen. If your ball lies on the left in the hard rough, you should play a provisional ball afterwards.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

Aim at the left side of the fairway, because two unpleasant bunkers lurk within driving distance on the right. Keep away from the beautiful but treacherous watercourse on the right of the green: it comes into play more than expected. Pay attention to the pin position and hit the correct plateau. Note: if you take a break after nine holes, you will need a new start time from Tee 1. For this purpose, report to Reception in the WINSTONgolf clubhouse.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

Set the drive slightly to the left of the right-hand bunker. The slope goes uphill – keep to the right as you play onto the green. Beware of the deep left-hand green bunker and the hard rough. Play a provisional ball if necessary.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

A nice birdie hole – but pay attention to the pin position when choosing your club, because the green is 135 feet deep. You are also exposed to the full force of the wind here at the top.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

Hit a drive as accurately as possible to the left into the dogleg. Think very carefully about your second stroke to the green, which is surrounded by bunkers – because there’s a stony ditch behind it on the right. Enjoy the magnificent view of the Mecklenburg forests in the meantime.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

It’s best to leave the driver in the bag here. The fairway is narrow, and the boundary in the form of a fence runs alongside the entire hole. Avoid the big, deep green bunker.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

On this long, straight par-5, position your first stroke in the middle of the fairway. With the second stroke, you can skilfully exploit the slope of the course to gain length on the last part of the hole.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

Don’t underestimate the length of this narrow par-3. Water can be an obstacle on the right, and hard rough on the left. The undulating green is not very deep, and is well-guarded by three bunkers – therefore you should pay all the more attention to the wind.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

One of the most delightful tees on the WINSTONopen golf course – gentlemen tee off from the high plateau of Karnickelberg hill. Watch out for the fence directly behind the green; this marks the boundary.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

A good chance of a birdie awaits you here, and a wonderful dogleg with “stadium character”, because you play into the valley, and spectators can follow you spellbound. Steer your first ball into the dogleg. Watch out for the water. Good players attempt to take a short cut over the bunker. However, the hole and the undulating green are very well guarded.

Tipp von Stephan Peters

Enjoy the fantastic panoramic view of this challenging final hole. The fairway slopes down to the left towards the water. Watch out for the long, plank-lined bunker on the right-hand side, and the strength of the wind. You need a good drive to enable you to reach for the green with the second stroke.
