Kann diesen Platz nur bestens weiterempfehlen.
Gut zu Fuss muss mann sein oder halt Ecart.
Great course, friendly people and good catering.
Recommend it for sure.
Use a cart if you want to relax without the sporting challenge;)

Exciting place, very nice reception
Reviewed October 29, 2023
We played in the sunshine in mid-October and even for free thanks to the Schwarzwaldplus card, an incredibly worthwhile offer! The reception was very nice, we were made aware that a green was closed due to damage from game. An exciting place, especially if you play it for the first time. At the beginning with repeated inclines and many meters of altitude that you have to overcome, then again flat courses on the Neckar with a lot of water, you can't risk too much. The condition of the courses and greens were impeccable. Unfortunately, the restaurants are closed on Mondays, but we would have liked to have used them. A course that is worth playing, very nice club secretariat, we will definitely come back!!

...very sporty thing...
Reviewed August 3, 2023
...physically, right after hole 1 it gets down to business, it gets sporty until you can tee off again on hole 7 in the Neckar valley.
A decent distance has to be covered on foot and altitude has to be overcome.
The course is not that long - averaging 330 meters per hole - but the uphill, downhill and sloping terrain presents or creates difficulties. Fairway bunkers are few - hardly ever in play - but lateral or frontal water can spoil the score.
Knowledge of space is a huge advantage, especially on the front nine. Some balls didn't feel like further shots anymore...
Well-maintained facility with very good greens, some of which are difficult, and nice staff.
We are here for the second time, played the first round in 2014.
We are not good enough for five stars, there is a lot missing - everyone was for three stars - because compared to Stuttgart Solitude and Domäne Niederreutin five stars would be too high a rating.

Always fun
Reviewed July 26, 2023
The course by the river offers the challenge of playing over or along the Neckar at many holes. Tactically you have to decide again and again whether you risk getting the ball wet and, if it stays dry, have a much shorter shot into the green, or play to safety. The course has recovered well from the dry period last year and the greens are faithful and well-kept again. One of the places in the region which does not get boring even after several rounds. The new gastro is recommended and the secretariat is friendly and helpful at all times.
Always happy.

Totally dried up place
Reviewed August 13, 2022
You rarely see a golf course in such poor condition. The discounts are hard as concrete. Sticking a tee in the ground is impossible. The greens were 90 percent brown and dead. Apparently there hasn't been watering here for a long time. We all know that water is scarce. But doing nothing is impossible. All in all, this has nothing to do with playing golf.
Waste of money and time.

In fact, the Schloss Weitenburg golf course was hit harder than many other golf courses by the prolonged drought. For 37 years it was possible to irrigate from the Neckar. This was no longer possible in recent months due to a withdrawal ban. In order to prevent the greens from drying out completely, mobile pumps and generators were purchased in order to be able to take water from the pond, which is fed by a spring and which was previously "only" used to enrich fauna and flora.
The tees are brown and hard, but due to the sandy ground you still get a tee in the ground. The greens are partially brown but green everywhere at the flag positions. Putting is also possible without restrictions on the brown area. The greens have not died. Cracks have formed on some edges of the greens. For tournaments there is a special place rule according to Rule 16.1d.
Based on the tournament results of the last few weeks - even if it sounds macabre - these are an advantage for many players. At least one can state that the brown greens and tees do not have any significant negative impact on the game of golf.

Place is very exciting; remainder zero
Reviewed August 6, 2022
As already described, the first 6 lanes have steep gradients. The greens are sometimes rather phelatelic. The course was quite dry but play well. Lanes 7 - 18 are varied and sometimes very tactical. The Erdtbespielung is rather demanding. The layout has some very long transfer paths. He is more of the variety long enough. The river is always exciting in the game. Until then for the change *** for the condition ***. Everything about the clubhouse, gastro non-existent, but the hull very friendly, but *. Exciting round (Schlosshotel/Restaurant top 8 minutes to drive) but unfortunately with drawbacks

Good place. Nicely located.
Reviewed August 5, 2021
The first six tracks (inclined, up and down) are completely different from the otherwise very flat, beautiful terrain on the Neckar. Sometimes big and sometimes small greens. Overall well maintained. Except for the three senior citizens behind us, who know neither tee times nor bell and already tee off on the couple of three, although one is still on the green, everything was good.
Unfortunately the gastro was closed. Some distances between the tees are already very long. You have to be able to walk well.

Reviewed March 5, 2021
I feel the need, especially in response to the January comment, to give my rating.
As a “golf nomad” and green fee player, I always come back to the Weitenburg with great pleasure.
Great, challenging course near the autobahn in a beautiful landscape on the Neckar, which can often be played even when others prefer to spare their seats.
The 9-hole course is also fun when things have to be done quickly.
The reception was always friendly and courteous, I never had to ask about promotional prices, they were of course offered.
By the way:
When we played with the secretariat closed, we were extremely impressed by the exemplary green fee box.
I am looking forward to the next time.

Terrible place
Reviewed January 2, 2021
Actually, we wanted to play a nice, relaxed round and were surprised at the pathetic condition of the course. It all started with the place being converted to winter greens (no information on the website!). The flags were about 50 meters from the actual greens. It was not a “championship course”, but rather a short amateur course. The earthworms did a "great job" on all the fairways. At the end of the loop, we looked like we had crawled through mud holes over a military training area. The icing on the cake was that we had to pay the full green fee (by the way, without receiving a receipt !!!). The biggest insolence, however, was that the golf club official treated us as if we had just escaped from the prison. Well, never again. My recommendation: steer clear of this club!!

The two gentlemen who wanted to play on our course on 01/02/21 without paying the green fee went to the course. The secretariat was closed that day, but there is a green fee box. I happened to be in the club and had seen the two of them making their way to the course after they were on the driving range. I had checked the green fee box beforehand. On the way to the square I spoke to her and asked her to pay the green fee at the green fee box. First came the excuse of one gentleman that he had no envelope, the other said that they had paid the green fee afterwards. The required green fee is the reduced winter green fee on weekends. Our homepage says that there are winter greens on the pitch. The fact that there is some moisture and earthworms on some of the lanes in the lower part of the course is due to the season and the weather. It is not outrageous to ask for a green fee to be paid before the start of the round. Rather, it is outrageous when someone is caught red-handed with the intention of playing "black" and then garnishes his unjustified anger about the obligation to pay with untruths. The men will certainly not play with us anymore.

Very competent employees in the club secretariat.
Other members greet you in a friendly manner.
Family atmosphere. After a few visits you are known.
Good gastronomy.
The 18 hole course is very demanding...

Reviewed August 4, 2020
Nice and interesting place with a great view over the valley or up to the Weitenburg! The first two lanes are not very pleasant to play (hang to the side), but great lanes gradually appear! The green of lane 18 is not that exciting - it looks a bit unimaginative. But all in all gladly again!

In the green valley below the castle Weitenburg, right on the Neckar, lies this pearl. Although the extremely dry summer has left its mark here, the course is in an exceptionally good condition. The friendly secretariat, as well as the members, complete the good impression. A clear recommendation.

Beautiful place, members are partly very moody
Reviewed May 7, 2018
First of all to the place itself:
He is really beautiful and the first 6 holes are unfortunately quite difficult to play, if you do not know where to beat.
The place condition and also the greens were in a good condition.
The reception in the secretariat was nice.
Now for the negative points:
The game flow is really very slow. Since no start times are given (in my opinion, this should be mandatory for any place on the weekend) is the starting order also very chaotic.
Unfortunately, we ran after the first two holes on the two flight in front of us. But instead of playing together, you always looked back and did not play through. This delayed our game by about an hour. This is really annoying and incomprehensible.
On a demand on the 17th Green why you do not let fast playing through, came a very moody answer, you would let through the weekend no flights. Very interesting!
Also, the members we met at the start of hole 1, have probably stood up a bit with the wrong foot.
Really a very nice challenging place.. But to have a slightly more pleasant game, you should probably deal with the course during the week with the place.

Pearl at Nekar
Reviewed July 9, 2017
I played two rounds in July 2017. The place is scenic, and interesting to play. The first holes are a bit up and down, but if you are healthy, you can do it on foot. The route 7 to 18 are in the flat terrain.
The place is very good, especially the gripping greens.
But the highlight for me are the friendly and cozy people at the registration, organization and the restaurant. Together with the good food the GC Schloss Weitenburg is really worth a recommendation.

All-class package
Reviewed May 17, 2017
My wife and I played this wonderful place today at high temperatures. Thank you to the secretariat for the tip to book a cart. The front 9 with many oblique positions and partly long distances between the tracks require good condition. The Back 9 strategic and precise game. We were fortunate enough for a club member to come and go with us. The multiple crossings of the Neckar are unique.
The place was round about in very neat condition. The absolutely friendly and sympathetic service in secretarial and gastronomy very pleasant. We will be back.

Super Site
Reviewed September 10, 2016
The entire facility is well maintained. After the first 5 hilly paths to get into a wildly romantic part of the Neckar Valley and plays virtually next to the plane. The Neckar is here natural and divided again. This leads to interesting, partly difficult tracks, especially the Neckar and its shores apparently swallows balls.
The fairways up to their name, are well maintained and in pristine condition, the same is true for greens.
Overall a neat sophisticated plant was ideally placed in a beautiful landscape.

Mountain and water games
Reviewed August 6, 2016
After a friendly welcome at the reception we started under cloudy skies for a round. Lanes 1 to 6 It's the mountain first up and then down again. It may be the view of the Neckar valley and Schloss Weitenburg enjoy. Lanes 7 to 18 are located in the Neckar Valley. Naturally, this means more flat tracks, but playing a good score is not made easy by numerous water hazards, doglegs and trees. The fairways and greens were in very good condition. The entire system fits very harmoniously into the landscape. Unfortunately we got a storm on the 16, so we had to stop the lap and the last Neckar crossing will catch up on the 18 at the earliest opportunity. We are looking forward to it!

Golf at its finest
Reviewed May 24, 2014
Golfing along and over several times to young Neckar - what a wonderful experience! Landscape of the place is a bit far and wide from the most special and most beautiful. And the difficulty is not without... In short: To get a good score, you really have to unpack the best beats from his repertoire and have the head belonging in the matter, particularly in the study of applied tactics.
At the end of the round you can say with complete justification, accepted a challenge and to have experienced an absolutely unique golf day on perfectly manicured fairways and greens. Infrastructure and Driving Range? Well... gripe would be the light of these qualities simply can not match. Therefore, 5 stars are justified at any time.
