Golf

As if it were the most natural thing in the world, irises, daffodils and orchids naturally line certain areas of the course in spring and summer – landscape architects could not have done it better. Although the course is set amidst breathtaking mountain scenery, play takes place here on flat ground. The view of the colossal Weißenbacher Wände is inspiring; it makes you take a deep breath before taking your swing and seems to spur many a player on to peak performance. The course is compactly laid out and the distances between the holes are moderate. Take a deep breath – take your swing – and enjoy the game!
