The journey to Wentorf-Reinbeker Golf-Club begins at Hamburg Airport, a compact twenty-minute drive to the southeast through the leafy suburbs that fringe Germany's great port city. The route traces quiet residential roads and patches of mixed forest, gradually leaving the urban hum behind as you enter the gentle, undulating countryside of Schleswig-Holstein. The final approach delivers you to the club's discreet entrance in Wentorf bei Hamburg, where manicured fairways emerge from stands of mature beech and oak - a serene pocket of golfing tradition just beyond the reach of the Hanseatic bustle.
