Totally unacceptable!
Reviewed September 25, 2020
Very good welcome from the staff who deliver the green fees.
Course still young but in very good condition.
On the other hand, the "ranger" who is normally in charge of enforcing the course times has allowed himself to make racist and discriminatory remarks towards the French that I am!
The golf management did not consider it useful to answer the email I sent them to inform them.
Challenge for people who have length but are wide
Reviewed August 21, 2019
The state of the 18 hole course end of August is much better compared to the previous reviews.
If you are a player who can hit the balls straight, but does not necessarily have length: this place is for you.
If you have the length, but could use some forgiveness on the sides: this will be a challenge; you can lose your ball 1m from the fairway and there are many out-of-bounds next to the hole.
I am not so concerned about the 'blind holes': if you can read a golf course, you will have no problem.
The greens are great; they were soft and a bit slow, but they are perfectly smooth; so a good putter is rewarded.
The prices are in line with 'private' clubs in Switzerland: playing golf in Switzerland is always expensive if you don't go to 1 of the 'cheaper chain' courses.

...the location...
Reviewed September 2, 2022
...is really great, about 150 meters above the Linth plain and Lake Zurich - which you often have in view. Great views and views of the mountains too. This system benefits greatly from this, it is also right...
The course is not quite as flat as described in the Albrecht Golf Guide, there are holes with moderate to decent terrain transitions, deeper or higher and also exposed greens.
Peter Harradine and Kurt Rossknecht have worked here, they have managed to create a good, exciting and varied course in the area - but not one of their best, in our opinion.
The course delivers back tees on average 345 meters per hole - par 3 rather short - we thought loosely on tee 1.
He's demanding if you want to bring his score into the clubhouse, you have to tactic. Long irons or small woods off the tee were often the better solution, making the second shot into the green more difficult. The driver was also allowed to work, but it wasn't worth it for everyone, because then the landing zones become narrow or bunkers lurk...
The maintenance also made sure that it was demanding...
During our visit we found a course with good maintenance - but far from very good or even top...
Some work is missing for the predicate very good, including the mowing cadence. The tees and fairways on the back nine were not freshly cut! Likewise, the mowing quality has led to questions and obstacles - also to a lot of conversation.
We hit a few bunkers, very well placed - on the fighting line - if the ball is not hit optimally, you end up in it. These do not receive top marks, the sand is very easy to play but also very fine - too fine. The player hardly manages to take a good stance, because the slightest movement of his foot literally causes it to flow away.
The "Road Hole Bunker" on Green 16 was "death" for a player
We really liked the greens, well not overly modeled - many fine brakes, and the speed was okay.
Good clubhouse with nice staff.
We didn't get bored on the course, we had a lot of fun and a lot of frustration...
Two went under, two went under...
We got a good stroke saver here, the display of the play line is very helpful - the best this year!
Five stars for the location - yes, four stars for the layout - yes, but the course maintenance only deserves three stars...

4 * - but really only barely
Reviewed September 10, 2020
Nuolen is a golf course that is nicely integrated into the landscape and is in good condition. all on slightly hilly, undulating terrain with a wonderful view of the lake and the Zurich Oberland. the course has been expanded to 18 holes for about 2 years.
It's a shame that the course is moderately demanding at best (pretty wide open) and the greens are rather flat and boring. there are some good bunkers, but i have never seen them from the inside (placement?) and the water hazards only come into play in the case of grossly botched shots.
The course description is also meager... a little more challenge for those who are playing the course for the first time.
The trimmings (toilets, restaurant, cleaning station) are perfect.
If I weighted the green fee (too high) a little higher than what is on offer, then I could just as easily have given 3 stars.
So from a * must in switzerland * nuolen is far away. but he's really not a letdown either.

A must in Switzerland
Reviewed August 4, 2020
We played the course last week. Our conclusion: the absolute hammer! The holes are demanding, varied but very fair. Then there is the view, which is insane. The whole thing is rounded off with very friendly staff and an excellent kitchen! If you haven't played the course yet, you've missed something. We will be back!

A tale of two nines
Reviewed July 19, 2020
The old 9 holes are typical parkland - fairways like carpets. The new 9 holes are varied and fun - holes 10 to 13 are generous. The hills between the fairways are reminiscent of left dunes, hole 13 could also be in Kingsbarns. The hard floor enables the ground game and promotes the creativity of the golfer.
Unfortunately, the following holes are misconstructions, probably because there was not enough space:
The old hole 2 (now hole 5) of the 9 hole course was a good hole. Now the fairway has been narrowed and the new par 3 6 squeezed in on the right - with a 200m tee that is sliced to the right on the 5, you hit green 6! The question arises whether the golf course operator is negligent here.
At hole 7 the green also seems squeezed in, 2 meters next to the green it even has an unnecessary out of bounds.
Hole 8 is a strange double dogleg that does not fit into the game flow. The obstacles are placed too closely and you are forced into unpleasant layups. The landing zones are positioned in the wrong places.
The most beautiful bunker is the pot bunker on the 16 right in front of the green. A pleasure.
The course will surely be among the top 10 in Switzerland in a few years' time when the new holes are fully grown.

Exciting and challenging course
Reviewed October 28, 2019
The expansion from 9 to 18-hole course has been completely successful. Of course, there are still big differences between greens, fairways and so on between the new and old tracks - but a very amazing good condition.
The whole area is in a very good condition considering that a lot of green fee players play the course every day.
The only drawback currently is the restriction of the fairways 8 - a beautifully landscaped par 5 with plenty of water on both sides of the game pages, as a result of the neighborhood or safety net.
I really only recommend this course.

Demanding but unbalanced
Reviewed September 19, 2019
We played the course in early September. The new fairways are still hard and the quality is not as good as on the old holes. The place has altogether a rather loose tree population, only the holes 10-13 are almost treeless and do not quite fit into the overall picture. In order to play them successfully you have to know the place well and play it precisely. This also applies to the rest of the course with some fairly narrow fairways, in which occasionally still laid in the ground, but unfortunately too little well marked conveyor belts (gravel) come into play. In addition, it goes at several holes first across the water, sometimes quite hefty Carry distances are overcome. But even with the approach, it is often important to play exactly (especially hole 7-9) and then putt the quite heavily undulating greens well. The bunkers are great: A very light sand and partly super nice layered walls (at hole 16 about 150 cm high) - so bunker fun! The speed of the game was fast despite the crowded course and challenging course.

Quality problems
Reviewed August 28, 2019
The location is great.
Management and members are high on the nose.
Guests actually unwanted.
Accordingly exorbitant the prices.
The place is in bad shape.
Hospitality and quality are poor.
Those who value quality in terms of membership are better served in Schönenberg.
Third star for the location and the kitchen. Otherwise two stars.

Suboptimal design, too expensive
Reviewed July 22, 2019
We played the course again after years, for the first time with 18 holes. The location and the view is still great, but the conversion can not really convince. Some tracks are too close to each other, many of the new holes you have to blindfold. In addition, the lawn has not really grown and many fairways are therefore tough. For this then to demand up to 160 Chf (daily) ensures that we will not come back.

Still needs time
Reviewed June 16, 2019
We played the course when he was still a 9-hole course more often. Now this has been extended to 18-hole and we were very curious.
What has remained is the fantastic location and view of Lake Zurich. The new, hilly holes 10 to 13 are very demanding and all "blind" holes, which can only be played with good results with a good score.
On our visit on June 14,2019 were Winterrules! Two greens could not be played. The flags were stuck on the pre-green. All fairways were massively sanded, which did not prevent the club Fr. 130 .- / pers. to ask for the green fee.
After the round we wanted to eat something in the beautifully located restaurant, but did not get a foursquare. This at 17.15h and at least 15 free quad tables. No, everything is reserved! Well, an innkeeper in the vicinity has us with pleasure.
We are a bit disappointed with the place and the hospitality, nevertheless it is a must to have played the course. Alone the view compensates for some negatives. The fairways still need time, so in the middle of June no more Winterrules apply.

Beautiful golf course in transition
Reviewed July 15, 2018
The location of the golf course is great, the layout also, especially if then the expansion to 18 holes is completed. Currently, however, there is a state of emergency, the Umbauch is still fully in progress, which would justify a Greefee reduction. There is also a state of emergency in the tournament results, but at the moment excellent results are achieved, as the rating still corresponds to the original place!
Whether this goes right and left, luckily others have to decide. I'm definitely looking forward to the new golf course!

The complex is beautifully embedded in the environment, the condition of the greens and fairways perfectly and the middle of the high summer. Only the green fees are somewhat too high compared to the region.

In the square top, thereabout soso lala
Reviewed August 7, 2015
We play Nuolen for many years. The location is great and the plant generally in excellent condition. The flow of the game, however, is likely to be mostly faster - if as a marshal would provide some order... Even with the green keepers some potential would be (a sign would work wonders). Driving range and chipping / pitching area convince again. In the opinion of management, I can only agree with the review of Wuuz from 2012, unfortunately. This restaurant enjoys a great location and less by a good price / value - In addition, the service is a little peculiar, but extremely attentive with repeated attendance, and courteous. We feel (now) very comfortable there. "Putter Away" on the other hand applies to the large practice green - unless you look for the most difficult putting opportunities in the world... The greens on the course are a dab compared. The green fees we find during the week just fine.

Good but expensive
Reviewed May 11, 2015
The place is nicely laid out and never get bored playing. The greens are well maintained, but the fairways could be better. As a green fee player or guest but you have to dig deep into their pockets. The price-performance ratio is absolutely not for a 9-hole golf course, especially the service in the clubhouse but is pretty average.

Great Place / Mgmt moderately
Reviewed October 8, 2012
The location of the demanding course is unique. Very well maintained and beautifully into the landscape. Only the golf park management could be with a bit more love at work. Tournament results from Saturday are not yet online on Monday, snack at 18 hole tournaments did not work twice already and the tournament administration leaves much to be desired. As a guest you will not notice that you are really welcome. Price-performance in the restaurant also is not true, especially the service.
Hope that Mgmt makes a step forward with the expansion of the plant.
