Borghees Golf Course

What Borghees Golf Course does

Borghees Golf Course is a privately held German golf facility operated as Golfplatz Borghees GmbH in Emmerich am Rhein, immediately before the Dutch border, with an associated membership organization, Golfclub Borghees e.V. The infrastructure comprises an 18-hole main course (requiring handicap 54 or below), a 5-hole Par-3 short course, a driving range, and short-game practice areas (putting, chipping, pitching greens and bunker). The on-site clubhouse houses a Brasserie restaurant serving daily meals and a Jumbogolf-powered retail shop. The facility serves individual golfers of all skill levels as well as corporate clients, with a deliberate cross-border German-Dutch positioning evidenced by a bilingual website, Dutch-resident Business Club members, and recommended hotels on both sides of the border.

The revenue model is diversified across seven streams: greenfee usage fees (seasonally priced), recurring memberships (€480/year trial until end of 2026, then €750/year; €1,250/year corporate), PGA-certified instruction from Hugo Klein Gebbinck including Platzreife certification courses and a €250 starter package, EDS (Extra-Day-Score) handicap rounds at €3 entry, group arrangements for 10+ persons, Brasserie F&B, Jumbogolf retail, and Klein/Groß sponsorship tiers (€1,000–€1,500/year). Technology is conventional: a website with online tee-time reservations, SSL/TLS encryption, Google Maps/Fonts integration, a PC Caddy App integration for lesson booking, and Trackman equipment for fitting. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer (website, phone, walk-in) supplemented by event-driven tournament marketing and sales-led corporate sponsorship.

Management is split between the operating company (Golfplatz Borghees GmbH) and the member association (Golfclub Borghees e.V.), with the latter's board comprising President Wim Hieltjes, Managing Director Thekla Hieltjes, Treasurer Patrick van Oostveen, and Tournament Director Mark Brouwer. No external investment, parent company, or acquisition activity is disclosed. Reported headcount is 1–10, consistent with a small owner-operated regional facility.
