| Grassau |
|
| After a two year delay the construction of the new 18-hole golf course in Grassau at the Lake Chiemsee in Southern Bavaria has finally started in April 2011. The Motel One AG, owner of the Sporthotel Achental, has decided, besides a complete refurbishment of the hotel itself, to enhance its portfolio by adding a golfcourse to it.
The mainly flat golfcourse will be dictated by numerous water features, wetlands as well as wildflower roughs that are typical to the region. The goal of the design is to offer an enjoyable round of golf within a natural experience. |

| Golfpark Weiherhof |
|
| Himmel Golf Design did the Design of the 9 hole extension of the Golfpark Weiherhof north of Saarbruecken (Germany). The beautifully rolling terrain and the sandy soils will give the course an interesting, challenging and strategic note. The course will fit naturally into the surroundings. Only one fairway area had to be altered to create 9 diversified golf holes. The seeding of the course was recently finished. |

|
| The Golfclub Bad Wörishofen e.V. has, throughout a competition, appointed Himmel Golf Design with the redesign of its golf course. The final master plan for the complete redesign was handed over to the committee of the club. The golf course will be extended onto adjacent fields and therefore lengthened to become competitive as the number one course in the region. Main emphasis is the renovation and the redesign of the greens and bunkers, the enhancing of diversity and startegy, the optimizing of the park character and the addition of some tees. |

| Golfclub Markgräflerland Kandern e.V. |
|
| The Golfclub Markgräflerland Kandern e.V. has, throughout a competition, appointed Himmel Golf Design with the redesign of its golf course. The final master plan for the complete redesign was handed over to the committee of the club. The golf course is divided into two areas that are visually very different and different in age. The old holes feel extremly tight in comparison to the new ones that are much larger in scale. The old holes with their problematic greens will therefore be the emphasis for the redesign concept. Key to this concept is the balancing of the different type of holes. |

| Posnania Golf Club (Poland) |
|
| Thomas Himmel is in charge to design a new 18-hole golf course in Poznan. The first Mmasterplan has been finished and has been approved by the local county. The next phase of construction permits will go underway in the next months.
The terrain shows gentle slopes and rises continiously from a 14 hectar lake owned by the property. This will provide constant view towards the lake during the round of golf. The sandy soil will allow for large bunkers with natural appearance. Next to the future golf course houses, appartments and a business hotel will be built.
Once the first permission stage is finished the detail planning will start. The construction of the golf course is expected for fall 2011. |
