Golfplatz
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Golfplatz for ideal conditions?
We recommend aiming for late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) to experience Golfplatz at its finest. You'll avoid the peak summer crowds and heat, enjoying perfectly manicured fairways and comfortable temperatures that make walking the course a real pleasure. Plus, the autumn foliage around the Black Forest-adjacent holes is simply stunning.
What kind of challenge can I expect at Golfplatz, and is it suitable for all handicaps?
Golfplatz offers a surprisingly varied test, blending tight, tree-lined fairways on the front nine with more open, links-style holes on the back. While the course demands precision, especially around its well-guarded greens, multiple tee boxes ensure it's enjoyable for everyone from beginners to single-digit players. Don't underestimate the subtle undulations on the greens - they're trickier than they look.
How do the green fees at Golfplatz compare to other German courses, and what's included?
You'll find Golfplatz offers excellent value, especially considering its pristine condition and engaging layout. Weekend green fees typically range from €80-€100, which is competitive for a course of this caliber in southern Germany. Your fee includes access to the practice facilities, and we highly recommend staying for a post-round schnitzel at their cozy clubhouse restaurant - it's a local legend.
What's the signature hole or a must-experience feature at Golfplatz?
The par-3 14th hole at Golfplatz is truly unforgettable, playing downhill over a small lake to a green framed by ancient oak trees. It's a picturesque challenge that demands a precise iron shot, and a par here feels like a birdie. Make sure to pause on the 10th tee for the panoramic views of the surrounding Bavarian countryside - it's breathtaking.
Do I need a handicap certificate to play Golfplatz, and how far in advance should I book?
Yes, Golfplatz, like many German courses, requires a valid handicap certificate, typically 36 or better, so have it ready. We strongly advise booking your tee time at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially if you're planning a weekend round, as it's a popular spot for both locals and visitors. Weekday mornings can sometimes be more flexible, but don't count on it.
