Again we went to Germany today to play at Schloss am Moyland for the first time. We arrived at around 8:30 hr and we were the first ones there. The restaurant and shop were still closed so we decided to got to the putting green and warm up a little. The weather was cold and it rained from time to time.

After a half an hour we went to the driving range. What I liked was that the ball machines accepted euros and tokens. The advantage is that you don't have to wait for the shop to open and just use 1 or 2 euro coin.

The driving range looks real good. A few greens with flags and some water in the middle makes it a nice place to practice.

After we hit some balls we went to the shop to pay for the green fees and looked around for something nice. I bought some balls and some tees and asked the man working there what time the restaurant would open. He told me that it would open 10:00 o'clock, but he asked why I wanted to know. Did I perhaps wanted a cup of coffee? "I just made some coffee, so if you want I can get you some." I was so surprised and gladly accepted his offer. What a great start of the day. Great guy!

The course at Schloss am Moyland is a really difficult one. There is a lot of water, bunkers, elevated greens, doglegs, trees and today a lot of wind and rain.

One of the best holes is the 11th hole. It is one of the longest par 5 with a tight fairway. After the drive it is still not possible to see the pin because of the strong dogleg to the right. Also the elevated green, which is 5 meters higher than the fairway, makes it one of the best once to play.
The next hole, number twelve, has to be the most difficult one of the course. Tightfairway with water along the entire right side of the fairway and the entrance to the water surrounded green which is really hard to judge makes this one an absolute nightmarefor high handicappers.

Overall Schloss am Moyland is a great place to go if you like difficult holes. I will surely go there again. I think this is one of my favorite places.
