Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee Hole 1 presents a real challenge. Even for single handicappers, a par on hole 1 is a rare event. Anyone who hits the green in regulation is a really good one.

From The Fairway The perfect tee shot lands on the right side of the fairway, but NOT out of bounds and NOT in the bunker. The hook to the left under the trees is the perfect setup for a double bogey or worse. If you have no chance of reaching the green after the first tee shot, it is best to park your ball at the 100 meter mark.

On The Green If you can do it, you stay below the flag with your second or third shot on the green. Not only is the hole long, there is also a bunker to the left in front of the green and a misplaced ball on the green is always good for a three-putt.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee After the somewhat strenuous start, lane 2 offers the opportunity to make up ground. For most golfers, a short iron into the green is enough.

From The Fairway

On The Green You should avoid the bunker to the right of the green and to the left of the green if you want to leave the green with a good score.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The path to a solid par on hole 3 leads over a 200 meter long tee shot that should ideally find the middle of the fairway or the left side of the fairway. On the right, some bunkers and the large tree prevent you from worry-free completing this course.

On The Green Long hitters leave the driver in the bag on this course; in summer, hitting left towards the water is definitely preparation for the drop. When hitting the green, remember that putting from bottom to top is usually the better solution. Putting from top to bottom is no fun on this track.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee Lane 4 shows that the architect had a heart for women: the women's tee is conveniently located directly in front of a tree. Many a men's tee shot has already flown uncontrollably from this obstacle and out of bounds on the right side.

From The Fairway This hole is a real challenge, especially in headwinds; the ideal shot is a fade into the middle of the fairway. The shot towards the green should under no circumstances be too long, despite the bunkers to the right and left of the green.

On The Green The chip from the semi-rough behind the green onto a flag below usually leads to unnecessary increases in the hole score.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee The feeling of success on hole 5 involves a long, straight drive to the left side of the fairway at or behind the bunker. From this position, a short iron is enough to be able to play the green relatively relaxed despite the water on the left side.

From The Fairway Anyone who cannot implement this recommendation has the choice between several problems.

On The Green The pond on the right side and the out-of-bounds penalize slicers (right-handers) for poor shots, and really long slicers also tend to make it into the forest behind them.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee The 6th hole is the first par 5 hole on the front nine. The ideal tee shot is on the left side of the fairway, and there is a threat of exclusion on the right.

From The Fairway From the left side of the fairway, the good player needs a good carry shot to the right side to avoid problems with the woods on the left side. An approach shot from around 100 meters onto the green would be perfect for the sporty amateur.

On The Green Depending on the position of the flag, this third shot is not easy either; from the beginning to the end of the green, depending on the wind, three different clubs are possible from the same distance.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee Depending on the tee and flag position, hole 7 can be up to almost 190 meters long and, depending on the greenkeeper's form on the day, can be a real challenge. The worst shots land in the bunker on the right side or far left under the trees.

From The Fairway

On The Green

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Hole 8 is not a par hole for the average golfer. The path to the green in regulation leads over a long tee shot on the right side of the fairway past the group of trees on the left side.

From The Fairway Real long hitters hit over the group of trees on the left and are then around 80 - 100 meters from the green. However, this is a rather exotic variant that is demonstrated by professionals or scratch golfers.

On The Green The bogey golfer plays his tee shot in a controlled manner towards the fairway, overcomes the group of trees with an iron and then hits a relaxed shot towards the green from 100 meters.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee Lane 9 is a real test of the day's results: If the drive finds the right right-left curve, the player has a clear view of the rising, relatively deep green. Nice to look at, hard to play.

From The Fairway However, the large tree on the left side and the well-guarded green with two bunkers make the second shot not exactly easy. The women also have an advantage on this course, as most of the group of trees on the left is already in front of the women's tee.

On The Green Men who don't play draw or hook should play consistently with three short irons for bogey on hole 9. The forest on the left and the bunker on the right punish poorly placed tee shots with an inevitable chip into a better playing position.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee The 10th hole is the most challenging par 3 hole on the course. Especially in summer, long shots often end up in the water hazard behind them after a stop on the green.

From The Fairway The pond in front of the green, the out-of-bounds on the right and left as well as the water hazards on the right offer plenty of options to ruin the result on the first part of the back nine.

On The Green Bogey golfers advance to the level of the water, hit a wedge onto the green and play their par with two putts. Not the most attractive solution, but the best for the result.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee A pro puts it succinctly: “You have to survive the first ten holes, then there will be a score.” And indeed: Lane 11 is the first of three short lanes that offer everyone the chance of good results.

From The Fairway Longhitter driven over or next to the water hazard on the right towards the green, then a wedge is enough for the short approach towards the flag. Too long approaches to the upper plateau are caught by the bunker behind the green.

On The Green Even golfers with shorter shots can easily reach the green with the second shot after a tee shot to the left, just have to avoid the bunker on the left.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee The green of hole 12 can definitely be reached by long hitters, but bad shots are punished with a questionable location in the bunker landscape on the right or the group of trees on the left.

From The Fairway The solid par for the average golfer is prepared with a tee shot with a medium iron to the middle of the hole in front of the water hazard. A second short iron brings the ball towards the green.

On The Green It's not for nothing that the track is the easiest track on the course despite the water hazard. It only becomes difficult if the tee shot lands in the row of trees on the left or in the bunker on the right in front of the water.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The tee on hole 13 offers women a direct view of the green, but for men it is a little more complicated. The water hazards on the right along the entire length of the fairway, the out-of-bounds boundary further to the right and the row of trees on the left ensure increased adrenaline levels when teeing off.

On The Green The second shot onto the green is only really easy after a good tee shot. The good news: A good tee shot close to the 100 m post is possible here with a medium iron or a small wood.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee Hole 14 offers a real challenge for golfers of all abilities and in this case that's not even a trite phrase. The long hitter hits his tee shot over or next to the centrally placed tree behind the water hazard towards the middle of the fairway and can then reach the green with the second shot, at least in summer.

From The Fairway But be careful: there is an exit behind the fence at the row of trees on the right. The solid, good tee shot leads past the tree to the left onto the fairway, followed by a transport shot and a wedge onto the green. The position of the flag at the top left or right makes the hole much more challenging than the position of the flag at the entrance to the green.

On The Green If you lie in the woods on the left after teeing off, you have to hope to find your ball, but in most cases you can continue playing without any problems, at least with a long chip.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee After the rather tricky par 5 on the previous hole, hole 15 is the next par 5, but this time it is much longer. The forest on the right and the row of trees on the left come into play from the tee, and for a solid par you have to do it from the tee Driver or the wood can be 3.

From The Fairway The second shot ideally transports the ball as far as possible to the 100 meter mark. The bunkers in front are usually hardly in play; they provide a good orientation for the second or (for bogey golfer: third) shot.

On The Green The green is well guarded, and the deep green bunker on the left side stands in the way of a good score. With a flag position on the right side of the green, both the front and back green bunkers come into play.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee The level of difficulty of lane 16 is largely determined by the position of the flag. Top right above the bunker makes it difficult, bottom left at the entrance to the green makes it easy.

From The Fairway Regardless of this, you first have to hit the green: many average golfers use a wood at the top right flag, while the bottom left position can also be played with an iron.

On The Green With the flag position at the top right, the frontal bunker comes fully into play, especially since the out-of-bounds boundary behind the green also plays a significant role mentally in the possible bunker shot.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee Anyone who has played the par 3 hole well before will be looking forward to the next par 3. Hole 17 initially offers a rather decorative water hazard in front of the tees, which is only relevant for beginners.

From The Fairway From this position, a short iron is enough to be able to play the green relatively relaxed despite the water on the left side. Anyone who cannot implement this recommendation has the choice between several problems.

On The Green The water hazard and the out-of-bounds limit on the right penalize slicers (right-handers) for poor shots, and really long slicers also tend to make it into the forest behind them.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee The 18th hole is the third par-5 hole on the back nine. The tee shot should land on the right side of the fairway. After that it's quite easy to get around the tree in the bend and continue towards the green.

From The Fairway The bunker landscape begins on the left side 80 meters from the green, and the ideal second shot should be in front of it. Bogey golfers usually hit this area on their third shot and then play the green from a good position.

On The Green If you drive too long to the left into the group of trees, it is relatively difficult to find the fairway again over the trees.
