ACHIMER GOLF CLUB

In the world of golf, precision and innovation are essential for success. When Achimer Golf Club, located just outside Bremen, Germany, recognized the need to adapt and open new revenue streams beyond membership and green fees, it found a partner that understands precision and innovation better than most: Trackman.

Here’s the story of how Trackman helped Achimer Golf Club revolutionize its operations, boost its bottom line and bring smiles to its members’ faces.

Introducing Achimer Golf Club

Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2023, Achimer Golf Club has more than 1,600 members. It boasts an 18-hole and a 9-hole course set in a stunning natural landscape that stretches across 300 acres. The club’s motto is “natürlich offen,” (“naturally open”), a commitment that extends to the diverse events it hosts year-round, welcoming not just members but also the general public.

State-of-the-art facilities

The club's implementation of Trackman Range technology is impressive. During the summer months (May to October), it offers nine bays with 27-inch screens and about 15 grass tee stations with range stands. In the winter (November to April), Achimer adapts to weather conditions by providing an additional 12 bays on a tee line, five of which feature 21-inch outdoor screens. A live Sky Sport feed is available for five bays, and the entire area, including bays, is equipped with a high-quality sound system.

Seamless installation

The process of installing Trackman's solutions was well-structured and collaborative. After initial contact via email, the club received a detailed overview of both its tasks and Trackman's responsibilities. Follow-up video calls further clarified the installation process. Four weeks before installation was set to begin, the club initiated preparatory work — including laying electrical and fiber optic lines, setting up masts and preparing the server room. During the installation week, Trackman's installation manager remained on-site to help ensure a smooth and efficient setup.
