Clubinformatie Golfbaan: Schloss Moyland In 1979, efforts were made by Klever businessmen to build a golf course in the outskirts of the city. Therefore, the 'Golf Club Kleve' was founded in the same year with the aim to build a golf course on the 'Hohe Luft' (near Nimweger Strasse). The operators of this idea encountered fierce resistance in the political committees and in the population. This led to the failure of the project. The club was dissolved in April 1989. During the planning phase of the 'Golf Course Kleve' also voices were heard, which reflected on another location in the Nordkreis. These thoughts finally led to a meeting of 11 people on 3 June 1986 in the forester's house of the estate management Moyland. On this day, the Land Golf Club Moyland Castle was founded. The entry in the register of associations at the District Court Kleve on 9.7.1986 under the number 676 was then only formality. In 1993, the then LGC board under the leadership of the president Karl Kisters began to make the first concrete considerations for the extension of the plant. First of all, many questions about the condition of the site and the goodwill of previous owners had to be clarified in order finally to be able to enter the project in a concrete planning phase in 1996. After the last unforeseen hurdles could be overcome, the project went virtually into its 'hot' phase in 1997. The support from the community and the district was so exemplary that in the shortest possible time the corresponding decisions were made and partly through parallel work additional time gains were created. The area on which the new holes should be created, was previously used only monocultural and agricultural. Not a single tree had to be implemented or felled. After the tenders were submitted in the first quarter of 1999 and the corresponding bidding negotiations took place, the expansion of the course was begun at the beginning of April. The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new 9 holes of our golf course took place punctually at 17:17 on Saturday, April 17, 1999. A group of about 110 club members set off from the clubhouse to witness the groundbreaking ceremony. They had a double spade built by Kisters, with which the then mayor of the municipality of Bedburg-Hau, Hans Geurts, and the then president, Karl Kisters, broke the ground. 6 years of preparation and pre-planning time found their first peak in the expansion of the system to a total of 18 holes. Thus, the golfers from the LGC fulfilled a long-cherished desire, which was already present in the 'heart' of the founding board under the chairmanship of Adrian Baron von Steengracht. The funding was secured under a long-term agreement. The burden on the members could be made sustainable within the framework of a 'generation model'. The property will be used as part of a leasehold agreement that runs until 2047. With an opening tournament on 11 June 2000, the long-awaited 18-hole course was made available to the members. At this time, the club had about 500 members, including 55 teenagers.
