Schloss Wilkendorf (Sandy Lyle)
The Sandy Lyle course at Schloss Wilkendorf is set in rolling secluded Brandenburg countryside to the north east of Berlin. The former Masters champion designed it with a little help from Ross McMurray of European Golf Design and the course opened for play in 1995.
Measuring more than 7,100 yards from the tips, this is a long course but the wide fairways encourage bold driving, which will be rewarded providing the numerous deep bunkers are avoided. Sandy Lyle’s first design essay is an enthusiastic layout which is nicely varied, holding your attention from the opening tee shot to the very last putt.
The signature hole arrives late on the Sandy Lyle course at the long par five 16th. The edge of the Brandenburg Forest runs the length of the hole on the left then a lake appears on the right as the fairway gentle bends in that direction towards an angled peninsula green which juts out into the water.
