Golf Courses and Notable Buildings
The LAKES COURSE is a typical links course with numerous water hazards. It opened in 1999 and was designed and built by Jack Nicklaus Design. The course is also a challenge for ambitious golfers. If you plan to use the practice facilities, check their current availability before your visit.
The manor house built in Lüdersburg in 1775 offers a different glimpse into the town’s history. This half-timbered building is one of the outstanding cultural monuments of the former Principality of Lüneburg. It is privately owned and is not generally open to the public. The nave and choir of St Peter and St Paul’s Church in Lüdersburg were built in the 15th century in late Gothic forms that are now barely recognizable.
