Kiel: Golf is Being Played a Short Distance from the Ferry Terminals

DAENISCHENHAGEN, Germany-(Business Wire)-October 9, 2008 - Only 12 kilometers from the Kiel Ferry terminals to Sweden and Norway, and 100km down the motorway from the Danish border, golfers from the north can also play on regular summer greens. With Gut Uhlenhorst (www.gut-uhlenhorst.de) Eckhard and Bettina Sindt have created one of the best Golf and Country clubs on the outskirts of the "Scandinavian Southsea". When Golf courses in Scandinavia close down due to snow or frost, Gut Uhlenhorst offers fun and enjoyment the whole year round. The course was not closed once last year: regular summer greens were used and have been for the last 20 years.

"We are the winners of climate change: the winters in the north are milder", comments Sindt on the advantage of the northerly located golf course.

The course has 27 holes, as well as a 9 hole pay and play short course on which golfers with or without a golf club membership can play. Club and trolley rental is not a problem. With the Driving-Range and the many practice facilities, everybody is catered for. English speaking PGA Golf Professionals offer lessons and service the whole year round.

The Golf course has good value for money green fees: 40 Euros during the week and 50 Euros at weekends. There is a public restaurant in the clubhouse offering a variety of meals, including yearly traditions - every appetite is catered for.

Gut Uhlenhorst are happy to arrange accomodation for you. The partner hotels, Aparthotel Ostseehaus Bünger and the Dänische Hof (www.daenischer-hof.com) are located in a peaceful quiet area close to the beach of Strande. Visit the website www.ostseehaus-buenger.de to see webcam pictures of the hotel and its surroundings.

The price for the golf trip costs only 185,- Euro per Person and includes:
