Some weeks ago I played the Mainzer Golfclub at Mainz, near Frankfurt, Germany. The course has been on my list for quite a while as it is somewhat different to all the mainstream courses you know.

It is situated in and around a former stone quarry and that basically results in pretty severe elevation changes from one hole to the other. So you are shooting your ball upwards, downwards, left, right, it’s a pretty interesting mixture of shots. And you tend to lose quite some balls when you are playing it for the first time – so did I.

If you are adventurous and want to play the not so usual club, then Mainz is for you.
