Words From The Owner

Dear Members, Friends, and Supporters,

Today, we’d like to update you once again on the developments and plans at Golfpark Rosenhof, so you don’t have to rely on rumors and speculation.

Some of this information is new, some is a reminder, but everything is accurate.

1. Our Business Model

As you all know, Rosenhof is not a club but a limited liability company (GmbH). While this doesn’t affect your golfing experience directly, it does influence several other aspects:

Thanks to our thoughtful and economically sound management of your playing fees, we are able to keep our rates stable for the coming year – despite increasing cost pressures and unlike many other clubs. External factors sometimes make this challenging, yet we manage to invest in improving our facilities year after year.

2. More Quality

The construction of our solar system is complete, further supporting our commitment to sustainability. New mowers and maintenance equipment help keep the course in top condition year-round. Upgrading our irrigation system to the latest technology is also an environmental benefit, as it reduces water consumption (and regulations on this are becoming increasingly strict). The addition of expansive wildflower meadows has turned our course into a much-admired sight this year, providing a protected habitat for many animals – from butterflies to hares and pheasants.

We are already planning further course improvements for the future. This includes installing a washing station for carts and trolleys, with even more modifications to the course still to come.

3. Membership Development

All reinvestments in the course are only possible if the financial foundation is solid. We are therefore delighted that Rosenhof continues to enjoy strong support, with increasing numbers of green fee players and members.

Regarding membership numbers, we are considering a limit on new memberships and may need to introduce a waiting list to ensure that our own players have enough tee times available.

In this context, we would also like to remind you of our agreement with Miltenberg-Erftal, which allows every full member of Rosenhof five free rounds per year at Guggenberg. This is another benefit of being part of Rosenhof, worth between €245 and €345, in addition to the year-round playability of our course.

4. Culture

As you’ve all likely noticed, we have also worked on our external presentation (logo, website) and set a new benchmark in the golf community. Our office has been newly furnished, and we have expanded our team so that you always have a knowledgeable point of contact.

We’ve always been proud that Rosenhof maintains a respectful atmosphere without a two-tier society. This should remain the case, especially in how we interact with our staff. Courteous requests are addressed with more enthusiasm than abrupt demands.

One last request: If your plans change and you can’t make your booked tee times, please be so kind as to remove your booking from the calendar or let us know. This makes life easier for the office and gives other golfers the chance to enjoy Rosenhof as well.

Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding.

Best regards,

Andrew Payne
