More shine than reality
Reviewed May 28, 2024
More show than substance, the golf course unfortunately does not live up to the self-imposed expectations (World of Leading Golf Europe Member, international top-class golf course). Very unkempt, poorly mown "hacker meadow", some paths are dangerous, unkempt driving range, no comparison to the GC Hubbelrath opposite. Arbitrarily calculated green fee (on Saturday sometimes 89.00, sometimes in the same group slightly later 95.00), overpriced for the course, but otherwise friendly office.
Restaurant with a nice atmosphere, very friendly service, plentiful and good food, but payment is only cashless, tips only in cash. Obviously cost-optimized management.

With a tendency to "very good".
Reviewed August 13, 2023
The imposing clubhouse has already been described here by previous reviewers. The reception was friendly and service oriented. The fairways are all exciting and challenging from a golfing point of view, but at the same time fair despite a few "blind" shots. Extreme differences in height also make the course a sporting challenge and always offer great views of the really beautiful nature. After all the rain this summer (I played the course on 8/13/23), it's quite muddy in places and the bunkers are in water. Actually understandable, but then actually a bit too expensive for the called green fee.

Interesting place, the condition is poor.
Reviewed April 24, 2023
We were really looking forward to the place. A place that has beautiful tracks, is very varied and interesting to play. The condition is poor. Scruffy haircuts, and so much weed (daisies) that you find your balls hard in the middle of the fairway.
Very muddy after long rainy days, but no one can do anything about that.
Our comments after the round in the secretariat that the green fee is not appropriate for the state. Unfortunately nobody was interested.
A good gastronomy.
We've been playing golf for a long time.
I was so upset that I wrote a review for the first time.

Neglected
Reviewed June 27, 2022
The most beautiful thing about the golf course was the clubhouse... Kudos to the service and kitchen!
We played here in June 2022.
Driving range: Only mat tees, only under 200 m shots allowed (otherwise dismissal). 2 EUR for under 20 balls...
Training opportunities: Putting green right in front of the clubhouse terrace and small chipping green with a bunker
Place: Very unkempt. Tee boxes were partly completely brown and uneven. Place was partially occupied with a lot of clover.
Most holes are played on the fairway using alignment poles only. You have to play blind a lot, which doesn't make it easy in the first round.
Otherwise it's a lively up and down with sometimes longer walking distances from hole to hole.
Value for money: 95 EUR green fee on weekends are definitely too much for the place and the condition. If you can play 5 EUR more and 400 meters further in Hubbelrath, I cannot recommend Kosaido.

A challenge on foot
Reviewed May 4, 2022
There were four of us playing there, very hilly, many blind shots.
Take balls with you, otherwise not an easy place.
Unfortunately, no birdie book would be important.
for a club ball 6.50 euros well
will play the course again, now with more knowledge of space
possibly playing better results

Disappointing
Reviewed December 3, 2021
The three of us played the course on August 19,2021 and were very disappointed. Unfortunately, not much is left of the high quality of earlier years. The design of the course is good, interesting and not necessarily easy to play, but the condition of the tees, fairways and greens was neglected and definitely did not do justice to the green fee. We will definitely not come back.

Speech and physical challenge
Reviewed October 19, 2020
Played on October 19th, 2020. The 18-hole course is located very far to the east of Düsseldorf, a few 100 meters from the A3, Mettmann exit. The famous Hubbelrath Golf Club is directly opposite the entrance to the club on the other side of the street. When you drive through the gate into the parking lot, you get a first impression of the mighty, sophisticated clubhouse of the Kosaido Golf Club, which, according to the signs, is also home to the Lions Club Düsseldorf. The entrance to the reception and the square is on the left and not, as you might think at first, through the main door in the middle. This door is closed when the restaurant is closed. The clubhouse also offers an exquisite interior with various event rooms and the restaurant (not tested). Looking back from tee 1 and coming from the green of 18 you have a good view of the exclusive outside / terrace area with the clubhouse's putting green. To get to the driving range (always closed on Mondays), which is next to the elevated 10th tee, you have to go up the "mountain" a bit behind the clubhouse. The place is basically in peace and nature, only one hears and sees the highway a little on two lanes. The individual courses are grown in, without which I would say it is a pure parkland course. Nevertheless, tall trees, a lot of bushes and gorges that have to be covered over come into play. When teeing off you shouldn't scatter too much, otherwise the balls will either be gone or get stuck in the trees. High HC will have a lot of trouble. The greatest challenge is basically the topography. It goes up and down constantly, so that one can definitely speak of a "mountain goat". A cart is strongly recommended for those who are not quite as sporty. Blind strokes can occur and you should check beforehand how the course is and whether there is still a water hazard lurking behind the crest (lane 9). Visual notice boards are available on every lane and help accordingly. From my point of view, the back nine are a little more challenging than the front nine. Lane 11 (PAR 3) and lane 12 require huge tees across a gorge to reach the green or the fairway. There are also a few doglegs and, of course, slopes that are a challenge. Overall, it never gets boring. Overall, the condition was okay, even if the fairways were sometimes a little too difficult due to the wetness and sometimes extremely muddy. On the tees the divots had just been repaired with sand and the markings had been moved. The greens were very faithful and fast. The game on a rather cloudy but dry Monday morning was manageable. Starting times are allocated, which guests can view and book on the homepage for guests by phone or on the day of the match. There was almost no player on the back nine. 18 holes on this course without a cart are also a real physical challenge. The ascent from green 9 to the 10th tee alone is an extreme difference in altitude. And finally, the 18 (PAR 5) also goes almost 500m uphill to the clubhouse. The members I met greeted friendly. The staff in the secretariat / pro shop and the greenkeepers were friendly. The green fee of € 60 on weekdays is fine, € 80 on the weekend is from my point of view € 10 too much. In return, thankfully and in a way that promotes golf, no surcharge is made for golfers without a hologram. And from 4:30 p.m. there is a sundowner rate. So if you are looking for a sporting and physical challenge, you are in good hands at the KOSAIDO Golf Club.

Great place with great views
Reviewed June 24, 2020
The course impresses with its versatility and beautiful panoramic views from the tees. But they can be bought with steep climbs. Steady up and down over many vertical meters are necessary for almost every hole. If you want to play without a cart, you should consider exchanging the trolley for the carrying bag - as obviously many club members do. Fairway and greens were in satisfactory condition despite the hot spring. The place is fair but not easy to play for the unfamiliar. Presenting here is often more sensible than the ambition for the par. Beginners are not recommended for the course, as too often neat landscape cuts have to be bridged to carry on sensibly. Unfortunately, Gastro had already closed when we finished the round - so I can't say anything about it. If you like it a bit sporty and are good on foot, you should really run your way - in my opinion it is a lot of fun.

Label fraud
Reviewed June 18, 2020
In my eyes, what is done here is fraudulent!
On the website, a handicap course is offered for € 99, which includes a rule book, a drink after class and a golf house voucher.
However, all 3 "promises" were not kept!

Not for beginners
Reviewed October 18, 2018
The fine club in the north of Düsseldorf demands a lot of fitness. The hilly landscape rewards with great views from the high tees. Clubhouse and facilities are very generous. Staff is really friendly.
For interested golfers a club with potential.

Challenging but fair
Reviewed August 3, 2017
The place is very hilly, has a lot of old trees and is therefore, especially the dogleg 3 challenging, but on the whole very fair and very well maintained. One should rather play cautiously than aggressively, the place does not miss mistakes so well. Prima Exercise possibilities with driving range and 2 putting greens. Very friendly staff in the proshop, there is a small, but very fine selection of golf articles. The service in the restaurant is nimble, professional and very friendly, the map distinguishes between golf specialties at moderate prices up to 10 Euro and Japanese and Mediterranean specialties in the Hocpreisnieveau.

Too expensive
Reviewed May 30, 2017
The NEW Kosaido is well maintained for this season.
Only the eternally long distances to the next holes would certainly have been better.
Otherwise the place is good - very challenging - and varied.
The price for a green fee of 80 € uro and buggy (35 € uro) are quite overpriced.
The kitchen in the clubhouse good - menu could be a bit more suited to the needs of the golfers - very high-quality and also here - extremely expensive.

An exhausting and beautiful thing
Reviewed September 13, 2016
As a member of a predatory hilltribe on the edge of the Alps, I felt at KOSAIDO like home! Mount up, downhill...
At 30 degrees it was a hot thing.
Most take the cart, I pushed - without electric motor.
Beautiful long drives down the mountain, with roles over 230 meters - but it is also looking up.
Wonderful scale fairways with beautiful views of the landscape.
Very glamorous clubhouse. It was Monday and both the restaurant and driving range unfortunately closed. Locker Rooms excellent.

More difficult place - not for beginners or people with disabilities
Reviewed August 21, 2016
Beautifully located in Bergisch Land. Very hilly. Very challenging 18-hole... Anyone looking for a mountainous and very athletic demanding course, which also seeks an athletic-physical challenge, is here in good hands. He creates him without E-Car. Although located near D, Kosaido is not Niederrrheinplatz, special, a typical place of the mountainous country. Restart of the square and of the management in full swing. Reservations E-Cars recommended. Parking space available. Gastro satisfactory.

Well maintained with partially (extra) heavy tracks
Reviewed August 16, 2016
Several long paths with some really heavy tasks, so presenting often is not cowardice but clever game tactics. On me seemed especially deep cuts on some tracks but 'artificial', that is to say, the tracks appended not harmoniously into the landscape. Moreover, long distances with some strong differences in height to be overcome between some greens and the next tee.
Another positive aspect superbly maintained tees, fairways and greens.

Less sometimes brings a more...
Reviewed August 16, 2010
A beautifully located place with views to the Bay of Cologne. Through the narrow cut some very challenging, especially due to the many slopes and inclinations certainly no place for the absolute beginner. In relation very little water, not really many bunkers that are placed but clever and require real tactics. The hitter is good advice also once against the driver to decide, unless of course you belong to the group of those who have it the 250m-draw or fade 100%. The length of the tracks is so chosen that one does not have to be long, precision, tactics and technology are the keys to the place. A challenge for the athletic golfer who can tolerate it once, that was no more than a bogie in it.
E-Caddy is recommended even for fit male and female players (can be rented), because the up / down gradients of up to 20%. But that's the charm of a place on the edge of the mountainous country.
The clubhouse is generous without being pompous. The kitchen is top notch! The price level is raised, but fully adequate.
The place remained in the hot summer of 2010 state unfortunately fell short of expectations, now in August 2010 significantly better conditions prevail.
