Golfanlage Green Eagle E.v.

What Golfanlage Green Eagle E.v. does

Green Eagle (Golfanlage Green Eagle e.V.) is a registered non-profit golf club and course operator located near Hamburg, Germany, operating on a 186-hectare site. Founded in 1997 by Michael Blesch and Ralf Lühmann — with Blesch assuming sole ownership since 2024 — the operating entity is Green Eagle Golfcourses GmbH & Co. KG. The facility comprises three golf courses: the 18-hole North Course branded the "Green Monster" (7,161m), the 18-hole Süd West course, and a 6-hole Par 3 course, supplemented by the dedicated driving range "THE RANGE," the BEAVERS restaurant, and the Green Eagle Academy.

The North Course has hosted the Porsche European Open, a DP World Tour event, since 2017, and in 2025 the venue added the Amundi German Masters on the Ladies European Tour. A new West Course is under construction with a stated ambition to host the Ryder Cup in 2035, which would materially upgrade the venue's standing in European elite amateur and professional golf.

The business generates revenue from multiple streams: recurring memberships (87 EUR/month or 996 EUR annually), greenfees (130 EUR on the championship North Course), academy lessons, F&B at BEAVERS, merchandise, and tournament-hosting/sponsorship partnerships with Porsche and Amundi. The club reports a base of more than 1,200 members, complemented by public greenfee access. The corporate register indicates 1–10 employees, which is almost certainly understated for a 186-hectare three-course operation and likely reflects the registered e.V. entity rather than total facility staff.
