Kranich is an 18-hole championship course located at Hotel & Golf Resort Schloss Krugsdorf in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in the lake district of northeastern Germany. Designed by Brian Willet and James Harbuck, the course was developed as part of a broader resort property centered on a historic castle setting. The layout takes advantage of the region's natural topography of rolling terrain interspersed with water features—a defining characteristic of the Brandenburg and Mecklenburg landscape. The course routing incorporates the area's wooded character and water hazards typical of German parkland design. The holes are set across varied elevations and incorporate strategic bunkering and water placement that rewards accuracy over length. The design reflects the architects' approach to blending playability with challenge across a range of handicaps, with routing that generally flows through the estate grounds while maintaining visual interest and variety in hole character. As part of a resort property, Kranich serves both hotel guests and members, with practice facilities and amenities supporting tournament and recreational play. The course sits within the broader context of German golf development in the former East, where several notable resort courses emerged in the 1990s and 2000s following reunification. The setting combines the sporting challenge of the layout with the historical and landscape appeal of the Schloss property and its surrounding lake region.
