Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A supposedly easy entry into the group. It's all downhill from the tee and the driver is certainly not necessary.
From The Fairway
On The Green Precision comes before length here! Anyone who manages to hit the left side of the green on their approach shot will certainly have par at the start.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee The start of a series of very demanding golf courses in both length and accuracy.
From The Fairway
On The Green This par 4 always plays uphill and the wind often comes from the front. So be generous in your choice of clubs on the way to the green. Recording a bogey here is not a bad result.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A beautiful par 5 played as a double dogleg over burial mounds from the early La Tène period. Enjoy the wonderfully varied tree population, which will also help you aim with one shot or another.
From The Fairway Be careful with the transport shot, the fairway hangs to the right. Length and direction are very important here.
On The Green The shot into the green should be played a little shorter to avoid the bunker behind the green.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Small but nice! A small green defended by 3 bunkers and a boundary on the left.
From The Fairway Anyone who manages to hit the green here can take a breath and enjoy a short putt for birdie.
On The Green Otherwise, creativity and skill when playing bunkers is an absolute must in order not to lose valuable shots on the shortest hole in Thurnau.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee The supposedly most difficult par 4 in the GCO. Only a very long and precise drive to the right of the group of trees opens up the chance of a relatively short shot to the green.
From The Fairway
On The Green Due to the slight climb towards the green, the path becomes further than the pure meter would suggest. As with hole 2, a bogey puts you in good company.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The tee shot invites you to finally accelerate freely, but shots that are too long are greeted by a narrow landing zone bordered by out of bounds and forest. So be smart and leave yourself a longer approach shot to this large step green.
On The Green
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Here we go! After a series of challenging golf holes, long hitters can reach this short par 4 downhill with a drive.
From The Fairway But even medium and high handicappers have a good chance of a birdie here, provided you approach the green on the right side and avoid the deep bunker on the left of the green.
On The Green
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee After a short uphill walk you reach the tee box of a par 5 hole over a small ridge.
From The Fairway The women can already see the landing zone of the drive on the upper plateau from their tee box. For long shots, it is important to play the left side of the fairway and also the left side of the green so that the terrain sloping to the right puts your ball in a good starting position for the next shot. Birdie time!
On The Green
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The “Signature Hole” in GC Oberfranken. A nice par 3 with a small water hazard and - depending on the tee and flag position - not too long even for medium handicappers.
From The Fairway
On The Green But always be generous when choosing clubs. Balls that are hit too short tend to roll back off the front green.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green The short par 4 near the clubhouse invites you to play aggressively on the green. The 259 meters are no problem for long hitters. Even high handicappers have the chance of a birdie here.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee A real hammer as a par 3. This golf hole is relatively long and well defended on the slope of the former railway line from Kulmbach to Bamberg.
From The Fairway But don't be too distracted by the beautiful view of the clubhouse or the cyclists on the railway line, which has now been converted into a cycle path, otherwise the par will become inaccessible.
On The Green
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee A long par 4 for players who don't want to shorten the dogleg through the small gap between the trees on the left side of the fairway.
From The Fairway But even the shorter approach shot doesn't provide peace of mind, because the settlement only takes place on the green.
On The Green Be generous when planning your break and be careful with your downhill putts!
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Enjoy the view from the highest point of the golf course on this short par 4. The view of the clubhouse, the castle in Kulmbach and far into the Fichtel Mountains is sensational. Now back to the game and the easiest chance for a birdie on the back nine.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green Lanes 13, 14 and 15 are located next to each other along the colorful rows of trees on the oldest part of the course. Lane 14 invites you to take a long drive and an open green on the left also offers the chance to let the ball roll onto the green.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This par 5 only shows its teeth on the green. Don't forget the long shots, but the fairway always goes downhill and, especially in summer, plays shorter than the meter indication suggests.
On The Green However, only those who can putt really well will be able to play par here. They will remember my words when they leave the green.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green The last par 3 of the course is relatively long, but the left side of the green is open and a successful chip from there has secured many a par. Relax again shortly before the big finale in Thurnau.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee The bike path comes into play again as a boundary on this double dogleg, but even after a perfect tee shot there is still no time for rest.
From The Fairway The slope of the fairway and a pond in front of the green sometimes make the path on this par 5 longer than you would like.
On The Green
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee A little US Masters feeling in Upper Franconia? A long, precise drive is necessary here and there in order to hit the significantly elevated 18th green with the second shot.
From The Fairway However, in our case the green is only guarded by a deep bunker and therefore offers a slightly easier opportunity to save the “up and down” over the right side.
On The Green Applause from the clubhouse terrace will certainly be given promptly.
