What Golf- und Country Club Seddiner See does

Golf- und Country Club Seddiner See operates a private, member-owned golf and country club on approximately 180 hectares in Michendorf, Brandenburg, roughly 25 minutes from Berlin and 10–15 minutes from Potsdam. The club's core product is two 18-hole championship courses — the North Course designed by Rainer Prei\u00dfmann (opened 1996) and the South Course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. (opened 1997) — supported by an 80-position driving range (17 covered), chipping/pitching/bunker areas, putting greens, and video training technology (Scope and Sam Puttlab). The South Course is ranked #3 in Germany by top100golfcourses.co.uk, and the facility has been a member of Leading Golf Courses of Germany since 2010 with six consecutive Gold certifications for Quality and Environmental Management, plus DGV Environmental Gold (2009), Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, and UN Decade Biodiversity recognition.

The club is structured as a dual-entity AG (operating company, share capital €199,642) and e.V. (member association), with membership sold via equity shares. Revenue streams include annual membership fees (€2,565–€2,897 with a money-back guarantee trial), tiered youth and young-adult memberships, green fees (€90–€125 for 18 holes), pro shop sales, restaurant operations (Hoffmanns at the Clubhouse, operated by Happy Sauce GmbH from March 2026), tournament entry fees across over 100 annual events, and vouchers. The PGA-certified golf school, ProGolf Berlin pro shop, and LET Amundi German Masters hosting extend the commercial footprint. Members and guests transact via PC CADDIE online booking, with beginner-acquisition supported through a €590 introductory package. The club serves individual members, corporate groups, youth and families, and international golf tourists, with strategic partnerships spanning hotels, Mercedes-Benz Berlin, and the regional golf association (GVBB).
