Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee The slight dogleg to the right looks much more severe from the tee. The important thing here is to lie directly in the bend.

From The Fairway However, this plan is made more difficult by the trees on the right side and the two fairway bunkers on the left side with the adjoining group of trees.

On The Green But then the path is actually clear - if you hit a straight shot onto the green. Because there is a water border close to the green on the left and a greenside bunker on the right.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee From the tee, the course first runs up about 100 meters and then horizontally. So you hit the (hopefully) blue sky and hope for the best, because you can't see the landing zone. Of course, the well-known golfer wisdom helps: the main thing is straight.

From The Fairway As a special surprise for the long hitters, a fairway bunker was placed on the left side. That's right, you can't see it from the tee.

On The Green If you are lying nicely on the fairway, the question remains: attack or submit. Because the two green bunkers are lurking for prey.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee After about 170 meters, approximately where two trees are in a line on the fairway, the fairway drops downwards.

From The Fairway You can see the flag, but not the numerous bunkers. A tee shot up to the height of the trees already mentioned (marking 171/142) has proven to be useful here.

On The Green There you still have a straight stance and only about 90 meters to the green. And maybe use one less iron than normal, because the green is a lot deeper.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The tee shot, or rather the ball, should come to rest slightly to the left of the fairway. However, this plan is made more difficult by the fairway sloping to the right.

From The Fairway But only those who are slightly to the left really have a clear view of the flag. Warning for beginner golfers: the water is very attractive to golf balls.

On The Green Anyone who knows the rule for a penalty area (former water rule) will have a clear advantage if the worst comes to the worst.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee However, the track slopes downwards on the back half. This means you can still see the flag from the tee, but you can no longer see the three greenside bunkers.

From The Fairway

On The Green Hardly visible, small landing zone - so attack or play sensibly? Green or not green - that is the question. The form of the day may decide this.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee About a hundred meters away from the men's tee, the "Valley of Tears" runs across - particularly feared by golf beginners. For the men it has to be 110 meters “carry” (i.e. pure flight distance of the ball), otherwise it has to be presented.

From The Fairway But even advanced golfers often have problems with the “teeing lane” - the trees on the left and right could tell a lot. And even after a successful, long tee shot, there are still several meters to the green.

On The Green To attack or to submit, that is always the question. The green is very well protected by three greenside bunkers. It is not for nothing that track 6 is classified as the most difficult track.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee Of course, every shot is important in golf, but here the second shot is particularly important.

From The Fairway Long hitters come into the curve and then have a clear view of the flag. Then there are about 120 meters left and if you leave the greenside bunker out of play there is an eagle chance.

On The Green However, only very few golfers will be able to tee off into the curve. For everyone else, a normal discount is sufficient. And then the second shot follows, but please place it in the middle of the fairway in front of the ditch.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Not an easy track for men and not rated HCP 3 for nothing. The direct path from the men's tee to the flag leads just past the left-hand row of trees. And a number of tees die right in this row of trees.

From The Fairway When trying to stay away from the left row of trees, many balls end up either in the right greenside bunker or even in the row of trees at the back right.

On The Green And a pitch from the right row of trees over the bunker to the green is definitely not one of the easiest shots.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee The longest track in the Hünxerwald is divided lengthwise by a ditch. Not really a problem if there wasn't a tree in the middle of the ditch and almost in the middle of the fairway. A big tree.

From The Fairway It's best to keep the tee shot slightly to the right - but somehow the tree is still in the way. And then it's still a long way to the green.

On The Green The green is well guarded by two greenside bunkers. There is also a ditch just behind the green.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee The sister of hole 1. Here too, the dogleg to the right of the tee looks more severe than it is. Here too it is important to lie directly in the bend.

From The Fairway However, the fairway bunkers are missing on the left, but the trees on the right are in a no-play zone (formerly a biotope). Then it only continues with a penalty stroke.

On The Green As with hole 1, there is water close to the green on the left, a no-play zone on the right and another no-play zone behind the green.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee Just hit it straight first. The ball should preferably lie slightly to the right of the fairway. But be careful, the two fairway bunkers are lurking.

From The Fairway The ball doesn't lie really well to the left of the fairway because you would then have to attack the green from the rough across the pond, which is surrounded by trees.

On The Green So in the middle of the fairway and then a diagonal approach shot onto the green. Complete.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee The course slopes slightly towards the green. Before that, unfortunately, the fairway slopes away to the right towards the water. If the tee shot hits the right, there is a high probability that the ball will jump or roll into the water hazard.

From The Fairway But it's not much better on the left, because there's a lot of rough there and the fairway green bunker. And then there is the green. The front half is down and the back half is up after a cross-country turn.

On The Green If the flag is down, you can say: lucky. If the flag is up: bad luck. However, if you manage to place the ball on the top half even though the flag is at the bottom, then you can say: stupid. Because when putting down you can hardly hold the ball.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee Unfortunately, due to space constraints, we cannot explain what is possible on this track. There is definitely water, rough and trees for every kind of problem.

From The Fairway The highlight is the 51 meter long green, which is laid out in three height levels. If the flag is right at the top, three shots onto the green can theoretically be a problem.

On The Green Long hitters play directly over the hill by the water towards the green. However, there are several rows of trees on the hill. Even if you have obviously cleared the front trees, the ball can still get stuck in the last row of trees.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff, as the saying goes. For the men it is about 180 meters of carry to land behind the fairway bunkers.

From The Fairway Anyone who is not sure should submit it. Because you have to be a little lucky to get through the narrow passage between the bunkers.

On The Green The longest par 4 hole in the Hünxerwald then has no further bunkers. There are ponds on the left and right and a few smaller hills just before the green that allow the ball to bounce in any direction.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee For beginner golfers, the pond in front of the green is about the size of the Atlantic. The motto here is to push forward to the water's edge. And then overcome the fear. Good luck.

From The Fairway Courageous long hitters try a shot directly in front of the water according to the motto: sparkling wine or seltzer. A hard blow, but a clear eagle chance if he succeeds. Good luck.

On The Green Everyone else either sets up and then plays diagonally onto the fairway in front of the water or goes around the curve with various shots.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee A tee shot into the curve, a short shot onto the green and par or even birdie beckon heavily. We leave the beautiful pot bunkers aside.

From The Fairway Simply hitting the tee straight onto the fairway wouldn't be a problem if the pond to the right of the fairway wasn't so attractive to golf balls.

On The Green However, if the ball is on the water after hitting the ball, it can be difficult, thanks to the rough, bushes and trees. Long hitters who have nothing left to lose can try to attack the green directly.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee The shortest railway in the Hünxerwald. Anyone should be able to reach the green in one shot. That's why the nearest-to-the-pin contest takes place very often in tournaments.

From The Fairway But just the thought: “I want to go to the green” often gets in the way of the whole thing. So always stay relaxed. The green is significantly higher in the left third, slopes down very sharply in the middle third and is only at fairway height in the last third on the right.

On The Green If the flag is at the top left, this course is much more difficult. The shot must go over the bunker and the ball must land directly behind the bunker - otherwise the ball will roll away because the terrain behind the green slopes away.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee The last lane requires full commitment again. The fairway bunker in the corner is annoying and the tee shot often drifts too far to the right. Then the direct path to the green is relatively long and there are trees in between.

From The Fairway Long hitters play directly into the curve and then have a clear view of the flag. The green itself is nice and big, but slopes forward and to the right. When played directly from the curve, the ball often rolls to the right on the green.

On The Green Not an easy hole to finish and three-putts are not uncommon. So don't worry, just look forward to the clubhouse.
