18-hole course
Get an overall picture and all details about each individual fairway.
Varied fairways follow the rhythm of the terrain, embedded in a typically Upper Bavarian moraine landscape. The hilltops often afford a splendid view of the mountains. Obstacles and ponds line the fairways. The spacious greens and careful maintenance of the course are exemplary. With their old stock of trees, the fairways of the front nine holes create a park landscape which then gradually gives way to a vast spaciousness. The 185-acre golf course is bounded by woods at its western and northern limits.

The course starts with an uphill par 5 …
A somewhat uphill tee shot followed by a slight dogleg to the left, where a green enveloped by two bunkers waits for your first putt. Your second shot should be placed on the right half of the fairway to leave you with an easier approach.
The course continues with a tricky par 4 …
A tee shot placed on the left side of the fairway past two large trees standing in the center of the fairway will leave you with a direct approach to the green. Bunkers located on both sides of the fairway require a precise second shot.
A well protected green at the 3rd hole …
You should make your tee shot to the spacious landing zone using a long iron or a short wood; then place your second shot towards the flag over a water trap and a threateningly deep pot bunker.
Sharp dogleg uphill and to the right…
The fairway requires a precise tee shot to the bend in the dogleg so that the second shot over a knoll can be placed directly on the spacious green.
Alpine view from the 5th tee …
A short par 3 requiring a precise tee shot to prevent landing behind the large rock in the bunker on the left or on the steep slope to the right.
An uphill par 4 parallel to the fairway no. 1 …
This fairway runs uphill parallel to fairway no. 1 to a long drawn-out green guarded by large bunkers on its left side. Your tee shot should not be placed too far to the right in order to safely avoid the water hazard.
A short par 4 to let you relax for a change ...
A good tee shot placed on the right side of the fairway will leave you just a short second shot from the green. Long hitters attack the green with a driver to give themselves a possible chance for an eagle.
The course continues uphill with a guarded par 3 …
Your uphill tee shot to the plateau must be precise, since an expansive bunker across the fairway guards the large, rolling green.
The most difficult hole on the course …
Two very good, long shots are required to reach the green of this long fairway in regulation.
A short par 3 downhill towards the halfway hut ...
The spacious green is protected by a bunker in front of the right half of the green. Drinking water is available at the hut behind the green to refill your water bottle.
The green of the 11th hole is guarded by a pond …
A flat par 4 with a large green. Your second shot must be placed alongside a pond on the left side of the fairway which extends further behind the green.
A narrow lane leading to the next green …
The 12th fairway initially requires a straight shot through a seemingly narrow lane. The fairway then widens, leaving you with an open view to the green which is guarded by a large bunker located in front of it.
Long tee shot over a pond …
Ideally, your tee shot should be placed to the left of the two fairway bunkers, thus leaving you with a slightly uphill second shot to the green.
The longest fairway on the course ...
This long par 5 requires, especially for the gentlemen, a precise, straight drive to avoid landing out of bounds along the course boundary on the right side of the fairway. Golfers who achieve this will still require another two long shots with a wood or an iron to reach the fair green.
Large bunkers guard the green of the 15th hole …
Large bunkers situated in front of and around the green necessitate a precise second shot on this short par 4.
Uphill to the green with a dogleg to the left …
This steep uphill fairway once again tests both your fitness and your concentration. Your second shot should already land on top of the hill to give you a view of the green. On your way to the green, remember to turn on the flag signal just to make sure that you are not endangered by the following flight.
A difficult par 4 downhill to the green of the 17th hole …
On this most difficult hole of the back nine, only a long tee shot placed on the left half of the fairway will give you a relatively unobstructed view for your second shot to the green, which is well guarded by a pond.
Par 3 with a view of the panoramic terrace …
Before returning to the clubhouse to tally your score, you still will have to make one last straight tee shot and a precise putt on a difficult, strongly sloping green.
