Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee The start to the front 9 is from an elevated tee and provides a good overview of the fairway.

From The Fairway A controlled, well-placed drive is required to eliminate the small moats on the right and left of the edges of the fairway. Only stray tee shots are found in the out on the right or in the no-play zone on the left.

On The Green There are two bunkers at some distance in front of the green. A safe approach shot is to the left side, as the green also extends diagonally to the back right. The green is only slightly modulated but relatively large and a three-putt is therefore not uncommon!

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee The shortest par 3 on the course is also one of the easiest holes. The fairway does not have any significant differences in height, which should make club selection relatively easy. The small pond is clearly positioned in front of and to the right of the green and should therefore not come into play.

From The Fairway The bunker in front of the green would not be difficult to play, but can usually be successfully avoided with a well-planned shot. It's better not to leave the ball too short, as the slight slope at the front of the green also tends to encourage longer shots.

On The Green From the shallow hollow between the back bank and the green, the chip can be easily approached to the flag. The green is relatively flat and therefore without any particular difficulties.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee Small ponds off the fairway only catch short misses. The real difficulties of this par 4 are the fairway bunkers placed into the slope - a direct green shot from one of the fairway bunkers is not easy due to the raised bunker edges.

From The Fairway Long hitters can completely take the fairway bunkers out of play with a good drive.

On The Green The shot into the green is steeply uphill. The steep slopes in front of and behind the green encourage shots that are too long rather than too short. Feel free to take 1-2 clubs more! Balls that miss the green on the right often only reach their final position in the forest.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The hole plays about 2 clubs shorter due to the large height difference. The sometimes brisk wind should also be taken into account when choosing a club.

From The Fairway Bogey golfers like to play around the bunker in front and hit the right side with a well-timed tee shot. The slopes often bring the ball close to the entrance to the green. With a good chip from the entrance to the green, par is even possible!

On The Green The green of this challenging par 3 is highly modulated and well defended. The steep side slopes outside the four greenside bunkers make any short play difficult, as the flag often has to be played blindly from there.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee This par 5 is the most difficult hole on the course, not least because of its length. The depression and slope in the landing zone of the drive suggest tee shots on the right half of the fairway.

From The Fairway The transport shot should be placed noticeably to the left of the green in order to take the large pond on the right out of play as much as possible. The ideal starting point for the approach shot into the green is slightly to the right of the tree on the left edge of the fairway.

On The Green The green is flanked by an embankment at the back and right. The deeper pond to the left of the green swallows many balls that miss the green and the two bunkers to the left.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee This short par 4 with a dogleg right around a no-play zone allows for different playing strategies. With a long, well-placed drive onto the fairway plateau, you can get a good view of the green and play from an elevated position.

From The Fairway Alternatively, a controlled tee shot with a rescue or iron not far after the first crossing water ditch ensures a second shot into the green that is only slightly longer.

On The Green The green is divided into a right and a left half by a wave and makes it difficult to change the green half with the putter.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee This difficult par 4 requires a solid tee shot. The fairway only widens after the path crossing and is separated from the neighboring fairway on the right side by a steep, sloping embankment of a no-play zone, and on the left by a higher row of trees.

From The Fairway The optimal drive is placed on the left side of the fairway to avoid bringing the fairway bunker into play. However, the green must be played from a sideways angle from the supposedly safe left side.

On The Green The green is embedded in a steep embankment and extends diagonally to the right. You should take at least one more club, especially for the rear flag position. Balls that land on the right in front of the green and do not find the bunker all too often disappear into the bushes on the right.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee The short, steep climb to the green of this supposedly easy par 3 is paved with three pot bunkers on the right side. The terrain on the right slopes heavily away from the green.

From The Fairway Balls that land to the right or behind the green disappear into the tall grass or forest. The safe tee shot looks for the left half of the green, the slope on the left side helps direct the balls towards the target. However, you shouldn't go too far to the left - there is impassable tall grass waiting for the ball.

On The Green The beginning of the green, which can be seen from the tee, is steeply sloping and allows incoming balls to roll off the green. The green is strongly modulated and has a pronounced wave, which defines a raised plateau at the back right.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee Especially here, precision is more important than length. With iron, rescue or fairway wood, an ideal tee shot is placed on the upper plateau. The smaller lower plateau on the left also offers a good starting point for the subsequent attack on the green.

From The Fairway The right side is bordered the entire length of Out. You should be able to get by with one less club than usual. If your tee shot from the back tees is unsuccessful and dives into the “herbaceous forest” to the left, you can also continue playing from the drop zone not far from the front tee.

On The Green From the higher plateau you can use a short iron to hit the green, which slopes heavily from back to front, and get the ball to stop. Aim for the right half of the green.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee This interesting par 5 opens with a tee shot that is not easy to assess. The directional peg on the hill in the middle of the fairway serves as a guide for alignment.

From The Fairway Pronounced long hitters should orientate themselves a little further to the left over the row of trees so as not to lose the ball to the right of the fairway.

On The Green Although the green is advantageously located between the hills, the front of the green is well defended by the steep embankment and the stream.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee On this challenging par 4 with a dogleg, a water hazard has to be overcome twice. The no-play zone can be overcome with a solid tee shot. If the tee shot does not have the required carry length, you can continue playing from the drop zone.

From The Fairway The optimal first shot is positioned slightly to the right at the level of the second bridge, from where there is a good angle into the green. The safest shot is in the middle of the fairway - the green shot is longer here, but the dense rough or the water hazard on the left side is more likely to be kept out of play when teeing off.

On The Green The shot into the green is almost imperceptibly slightly uphill. The green is shielded by a bunker on the right front. The green generally slopes from back to front; the slope is particularly noticeable in the area at the end of the green.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee With consistent play you can have a good birdie chance on this par 5. A solid tee shot in the middle of the fairway should always be enough - very few people will be able to hit the water hazard or even reach the green with their second shot.

From The Fairway The second shot should ideally be aimed between the ponds. If you end up lying too close to the right pond, you can continue playing from a downward position.

On The Green The green is embedded in a slope. Ideally, balls played on the right side are directed from the slope towards the green. Balls that land on or near the left of the green are in danger of traveling far away from the green towards the water hazard.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee The tee goes over the water. Watch the movement of the flag and the waves on the pond. The wind direction is not easy to estimate here. There is usually a slight headwind.

From The Fairway Don't let the length of the fairway put you off. The shot is from an elevated position and you can therefore certainly use one less club. There is also enough space between the water hazard and the start of the green - so a well-hit ball should stay dry!

On The Green The conservative tee shot is aimed at the left edge of the green. The slope to the left of the green deflects balls toward the green. Please do not aim too far to the left, because the road to the left and behind the green is “out of bounds”.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee The fairway on this most difficult par 4 leads along the edge of the forest with a slight right curve. On the left side, the narrow fairway is bordered by a wet meadow marked as a side water hazard.

From The Fairway Only with luck can scattered balls in the forest or the tall grass be found and played with. A controlled tee shot with good length is necessary in order to be able to reach the green regularly with the second shot.

On The Green The green is embedded in a side-sloping slope. The safe green shot is aimed at the right side and shouldn't be too long - out lurks behind. The green hangs from the back left to the front right and makes it difficult to pass from the lower left side or from the bunker.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee The tee shot on this not overly long par 5 leads over a stream or a biotope. The wide fairway offers enough space for a courageous drive. The fairway bunkers are flat and have only a low bunker edge. Only the meadow with tall grass on the right should be avoided.

From The Fairway Even with a perfect drive, only long hitters will be able to reach the green with their second shot.

On The Green The green cannot be seen from the fairway and must be played blindly. It is located at the end of a continuously rising fairway and is one of the most difficult on the course.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee On this nominally longest par 3 on the course, the green lies well below the tee. Due to the height difference, the hole is very susceptible to wind, but you can usually plan on using 2-3 clubs less.

From The Fairway The fairway hangs from right to left, especially in the lower area, and ends in a small depression in front of the green. Aim more towards the right side, especially if you don't want to attack the green with a carry shot.

On The Green The green slopes moderately from back to front and is defended by two bunkers in the front area. The shot from the deeper left bunker is significantly more difficult than from the more shallow bunker on the right.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee The fairway of the par 4, designed with two ponds, leads slightly downhill. A controlled drive to the right side of the fairway is the preferred shot. The terrain slopes from right to left, encouraging a “roll” toward the fairway pond.

From The Fairway If, contrary to expectations, you land with your tee shot in the meadow to the right, please consider a makeshift ball before searching.

On The Green The shot into the green is complicated by a lateral slope and a slight downhill position. The green is deeper than it is wide. The tree at the green entrance on the right makes the green appear even narrower.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee The green is not visible from the tee and is bordered on three sides by a very steep embankment. The safe tee shot is aimed more at the right half of the green - many balls find their way onto the green from the embankment and the path.

From The Fairway The left side should be avoided. On the one hand, the bunkers are a little deeper, and on the other hand, the opposite slope above the left bunkers slopes towards the out. Misses on the left side find their way out more often than on the right.

On The Green Although the green is without difficulty and only slopes slightly from back to front, note the flag position. The rear embankment offers welcome support, especially for the rear flag position.
