Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The start of the round of golf on the Altscheid. When driving on the first fairway, care must be taken to “avoid” the two water hazards on the left side and not to hit the ditch that cuts through the fairway about 190 m away and represents a frontal water hazard.

On The Green The second shot to the green is uphill; This must be taken into account when choosing a club. The green is well defended by two strategically placed bunkers and is best played on the right side.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee Teeing off on the second hole does not pose any special requirements. After about 190 m the fairway climbs steeply uphill, so that the second shot to the green usually has to be hit “blind”.

From The Fairway Two bunkers defending the green threaten a good score. The green slopes from back to front and is undulating throughout, so great attention is required when putting.

On The Green

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee The shortest par 3 on the course should easily play in par with a well-placed tee shot and two putts.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The fourth hole has already become “fate” for some; This often decides whether you get into the clubhouse with a good score or whether you can “forget” the round.

From The Fairway The discount is already decisive. Both sides of the fairway are bordered by a boundary, with the fairway only slowly widening after a distance of around 180 m. The second shot is also at risk of landing “out of bounds” to the right or left.

On The Green Another difficulty is that the shot to the green often has to be hit “blind” because the green – from the player’s perspective – is “hiding” behind the raised tee of the fifth hole. The green is heavily undulating and requires great concentration when putting.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee From the fifth tee it goes steeply down into the valley. The green is well defended by two bunkers.

From The Fairway A tee shot that is too long or drifts too far to the left threatens to disappear into the “out of bounds” or high rough.

On The Green

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee The sixth hole is the longest on the course and demands everything from a player in terms of concentration and fitness.

From The Fairway A considerable difference in height has to be overcome right from the tee; The exclusion on the left side of the fairway must be avoided. The fairway, which continues to rise steadily, is then bordered by high rough on the left, so that not only length but also precision are required for the following shots.

On The Green The green is then divided into two plateaus by a step and therefore places high demands on the player's putting skills.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee From the high tee on the seventh hole you have a wonderful panoramic view of almost the entire golf course.

From The Fairway In a strategically sound game, the goal should be to place the tee shot between the two fairway bunkers. Single handicappers, on the other hand, more often try to attack the green with the drive carry over the right boundary; a risk that is not always rewarded.

On The Green The bunker to the left of the green is very deep and hitting the bunker from it to the flag is usually very difficult. The green is heavily undulating and requires great concentration when recognizing the putting line.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee On the eighth hole, the tee shot often determines whether a “par” is realistic. The entire right side of the fairway is covered in dense, high rough and from around 140 m away from the tee to the green there is a high embankment that “swallows” almost all balls.

From The Fairway The tee shot should be aimed slightly to the left of the tree in the middle of the fairway. From there you can attack the green through the gap between the two bunkers in front of the green.

On The Green

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee The ninth hole requires all concentration. The drive may not land out of bounds to the left or into the densely overgrown embankment leading up to the eighth fairway.

From The Fairway Single handicappers can hit over the bushes that protrude into the fairway from the left and over the outskirts and then only have one pitch into the green. The conventional way to play this fairway is to select the bush in the middle of the fairway as a reference point for the drive.

On The Green When hitting the green for the second time, please note that the green is surrounded by high rough, so precision is required. The green is slightly undulating, but doesn't place too many demands on putting.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway When teeing off, care must be taken to avoid the trees on the right side of the fairway and the exclusion zone on the left side. The same applies to the second shot.

On The Green For players with a medium handicap, the third shot to the green is usually “blind” because the green, which is defended by two strategically well-placed bunkers, has to be played at a significantly higher elevation.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee On hole 11, the drive into the valley should be placed between the two bunkers in order to have a good starting position for the second shot into the green; Experience has shown that the exclusion on the left side rarely comes into play.

From The Fairway The second shot to the green should be kept more to the right to avoid the deep bunker on the left side of the green. Furthermore, it is important to ensure that a shot that is too far left and too long runs the risk of disappearing into the high rough on the steeply sloping side of the green.

On The Green

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee The twelfth fairway, which runs steadily slightly uphill, is the second longest on the course.

From The Fairway A good score can only be achieved with long and precise shots if you want to reach the green with the third shot.

On The Green The wavy and large green requires full attention at the end of this fairway so as not to jeopardize what has been achieved so far.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee It is the longest par 3 on the course. To reach the green with the drive, a straight and placed shot is required.

From The Fairway The main danger is the right bunker in front of the green and the entire right side of the fairway, which slopes steeply and is overgrown with high rough in summer.

On The Green Putting on the green then again requires the utmost attention, as numerous slight breaks must be taken into account when determining the putting line.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee The tee shot must be long and precise if it is not to land in the side water hazard or the rough on the left side of the fairway. From the fairway bunker on the right side of the fairway it goes significantly uphill.

From The Fairway The green is very well defended by a frontal bunker with a high edge and the fairway tapers steadily towards the green, with the exclusion on the left side considerably increasing the difficulty of a second shot towards the green.

On The Green The green has a very strong wave that divides it almost crosswise into a lower and upper plateau. If the flag is on the upper, rear plateau, special care is advised when putting from top to bottom, as you do not want to run the risk of the ball rolling over the wave a good 10 m down to the lower plateau.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee On the fifteenth hole, the drive receives particular attention. The drive must be placed precisely if you want to have a chance of getting a par.

From The Fairway Particular danger comes from the exclusion zone and the small forest on the left side of the fairway. They extend over a length of approx. 200 meters, counting from the tee. Every ball that gets lost here is irrevocably “swallowed”.

On The Green Furthermore, when driving, make sure that the trees on the right side, which separate fairway 15 from fairway 17, do not come into play.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee The difficulty with the sixteenth hole is to hit the green, which is well defended by a deep pot bunker on the left side and a large bunker on the right side.

From The Fairway The choice of club depends largely on where the flag is placed on the 35 m long green. The position of the flag at the beginning of the green is particularly tricky, as this is where the risk of hitting the ball into one of the two bunkers is greatest.

On The Green The green is very undulating throughout and places high demands on reading the correct putting line.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway From the highly elevated tee on the seventeenth fairway, the ball should be placed with the tee shot between the two fairway bunkers. The trees on the right side of the fairway increase the demands on a precise drive.

On The Green The shot to the green should be stopped to the right because the terrain to the left of and behind the green slopes sharply and bushes and high rough make it difficult to make a precise pitch to the flag or the ball can be lost.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee From the tee on the eighteenth hole you have a very nice view of the clubhouse and almost the entire club complex. However, this view should not distract from the fact that this track requires full concentration and the drive down the valley must be well placed in order to have a promising chance for the second shot.

From The Fairway

On The Green The side water hazards on the left require a long and precise game with the second shot. If the flag is stuck in the back of the green, it is very difficult to attack it with the second shot because there is a slight slope between the water hazard and the green, so only a very high ball has a chance of not hitting it after it hits to run behind the green.
