I also worked there with Jeff Kramer. Does anyone else remember Bubby Schultz the pro boxer or Klaus Behnke. Horst Deiter the German policeman that guarded the course at night.What great people. I was 19 and growing up in Berlin Germany with a bunch of great people at a phenominal time. The Wall. The memories this is bringing back!!! Skip taught me to ride and work on dirt bikes out on the course. How about Petite Chalea'. Skip, I know yoiu remember. The times. The stories. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back. The best of times by far.

I worked at The Club with CW4 Virgilio then Johnny Mitchell, Skip Butler, Jeff Worsham, Edmond and Heinze and you can't forget Jim English. My son asks today when were the best times I ever had. I tell him besides since he was born, it was by far Berlin at the golf course. He goes in the Army 7/23/12 and we're hoping he gets stationed in Germany. He WILL go to the course and see his dad's name on a few of those plaques. I loved my life there and the great times with the great people. Hollace Howze, Steve Hockenberry, Frank Dursheimer and Colonel Bruce Guard

I am one of the secretaries in the German Golf Club "Golf- und Land-Club Berlin-Wannsee" and had to smile when I read the comments of those who used to frequent the Berlin Golf Club. Unfortunately, Heinz Ebel died a few years ago. No, he didn't die standing in front of the Caddy Haus with a bottle in his hand! Smile. "His" house is still called "Heinz' House". Jim English just visited us before Christmas. A few retired members of the former American club were elated and everyone was very emotional. Should anyone have further questions, please feel free to write me at roehl@wannsee.de. I'd be glad to hear from you. Kind Regards, Janette Röhl

I was stationed in Berlin in 1955-1956 and played on the military golf team on the course. I remember the 10th hole went downhill with trees to the right and a Russian guard tower was down a path to the right on the way to the 11th tee. Also played in a tournament on the 9-hole German course next door. With my partner, Jim (?) Brown, we won the tournament. Location was last stop on subway, before East Germany.

I was stationed at the Berlin Golf and Contry Club for almost 3 years in the early 70s. I was one of the assistant managers of the golf pro-shop with Johnney Mitchel,Edmund Reits, Mr English, Jeff Worsham, Thom Delue,and Hienz the caddy master. I will never forget the experence living in such a pristine area of Berlin and being able to golf whenever there was time. I will always remember all of the German nationals I had the honor to meet and all of the military personel and dependents I worked for. I was also a track coach at Berlin American High School this was a great time in my life. Thank you Berlin

Skip,
I was at the golf course from April 73 to Sept 74 and worked with Edmund, Johnny, Jim and Jeff along with others. Went back with the veteran group in 98 and saw the new facilities and Hientz and ran into Clause Benkie (sp).
Great part of my life!

Skip-read your comments and was wondering if you had any info on the staff. I was there in 1968 and was the golf pro at that time and won the all service championship which was held at the Berlin CC that year. What a great place to be for a year.

Hey, Tom Fuller. Don't forget Denis Walp and Don Boyle.
I was in the Air Force assigned for 14 months to work for the US Army in the pro shop. Eddie Reitz, Heinz, both no doubt long dead by now, head pro Johnny Mitchell, and the often present General Cobb. I posted some photos (1973) at the course on Denis Walp's Facebook page.

my sister and I attended the Berlin American school in the 1960's- at that time it was TA Roberts (Thomas A..)school. She keeps in touch with the 'Berlin Brats' from that time. so glad you appreciate Berlin-imagine it during the cold war! Bridge games with Gen. Hartel & Watson's wives- mother loved it!

Hi Micheal, I don,t think you might not remember me. I too was stationed in Berlin from 1979 to 1983. I was transferred from my MOS 11 Bravo to recreation specialist and was transferred to the golf course. I remember Edmond Rietz,Heinz, Jim English, Linda. I had a great time when I was there. I also remember Kevin, Jim from the snack bar. I wonder what happen to them after the wall came down? I also remember Mathew. Well this is all for now. Hope to here from you soon.

Hello!
I played the Berlin, Germany course many times as a junior golfer while living in West Berlin in the early 70's.
I have many fond memories of playing this beautiful venue with my best friends and father - come rain or shine.
It is so good to know that this course still remains today - some 30 years later.
Just can't wait to get back out there.
Please email me some recent photos of the place if you have some handy. I would appreciate it VERY much.
Warmest regards,
Steve Mauser

Loved the course. I was there 70-74 with the old Field Station. We always had 2 groups with tee times Saturdays and Sundays around 7:10 each day.
I was visited Berlin last year for business but did not go to the course. I would love to play it again.
