One of the top golf courses I’ve played in Germany is Golf Club München Eichenried. The layout is challenging and the facilities are top-notch! Highly recommend it for any golfer.

I agree with both! Eichenried is great, but what about the Porsche Golf Club? The design is brilliantly integrated into the landscape. Anyone been there?

I’ve heard great things about Eichenried! I personally loved playing at Nordewald Golf Club; beautiful scenery and friendly staff made my experience unforgettable.

Porsche Golf Club is a gem, but I think nothing beats the classic feel of Hamburg’s Golf Club Treudelberg. It has a charming atmosphere and superb greens.

6

I totally agree! Treudelberg has fantastic maintenance and the view is stunning. It’s worth playing just for the experience.

7

Is anyone else feeling that the best golf courses are in the south? Both Eichenried and Treudelberg bring out the best in German golf!

8

Definitely! But we shouldn’t overlook the northern courses, like GC Am Mondsee. They are just as amazing with unique layouts!

What do you guys think about golf in winter? I say try the Golf Club Bad Griesbach if you want a challenge year-round!

I’ve played there! It was quite a workout in the cold—like a fitness boot camp, but worth it for the tranquility of winter golf.

Haha, a fitness boot camp! Winter golf does require some dedication. Speaking of dedication, I think golf should come with a warning label during the rainy season!

So true! Rain or shine, nothing beats teeing off at a great course, though! Any favorites for rainy days?

13

I find that courses with good drainage like Golf Club Hubbelrath hold up well in the rain. Just make sure to pack an umbrella!

14

I believe the best time to golf in Germany is during the late spring and early fall. The weather is ideal, not too hot or cold, and the courses are in great shape after the winter.

15

Absolutely! May and September really stand out. Plus, the blooming flowers in spring make every round special.

If you’re considering peak times, be mindful of summer holidays. It gets packed, especially at popular courses like Bavarian Golf Club.

17

That’s such a good point! The larger tournaments also draw crowds. The European Tour events can turn local courses into must-plays!

18

I totally agree! Plus, tournaments are a great way to meet fellow golfers. I made some of my best friends during a tournament in Hamburg!

19

I find that playing on weekdays, especially Tuesday or Wednesday, can avoid crowds and give you a more relaxed experience. Just need to manage weather risks!

Speaking of weather, has anyone ever experienced the sudden rain showers? It’s part of the charm, I guess, but a little warning would be nice!
