Clubinformatie Golfbaan: Gut Hahues zu Telgte Hof Hahues is located in Telgte-Vechtrup, one of the five farms of the former parish of Telgte. The name Vechtrup, derived from Fichttharpa, means Fichtendorf. The soil here is mostly sandy - a relic from the ice age. In the past, there were large heathland areas in Vechtrup, north of the Ems, which alternated with forests, meadows and bushes. In the peasantry Vechtrup are large farms, whose names can be traced back in part to the 13th century. The Hof Hahues is mentioned under the name 'Ton Hohues' probably first documented in 1378. 'Hohues' (High House) is probably derived from the location of the farm: above the Emsbruch and thus higher than most other farms in the area. This location was privileged until the second half of the 20th century. The Ems repeatedly posed problems to its residents until it was regulated as part of the 'Great Ems Expansion' (around 1930 to 1970). Because it was flowing exclusively in the sandy ground, it used to be a very meandering river that constantly changed its course and required large areas for the discharge of the water. In floods, the lower-lying agricultural areas were regularly flooded, the courtyards at times. Hof Hahues seems to have been less affected. It can be assumed that the only significant height difference in the geography of our golf course was created on the red 5 and 6 tracks by the Ems, but marks the boundary of the flood areas. From old court records it follows that neighbors, but not Hahues himself, had to suffer considerable damage from flooding during floods. The development of Hahue's farm into one of the largest in the peasantry was evidently favored by its relatively sheltered position.
