Expensive and Negative Envoronment
Reviewed May 24, 2014
My experience was mixed. I enjoyed the course and scenery, but it is expensive for 9 holes, and it is overrun with frustrated grumpy old women. (I am a 51 year old woman). When we tried to start playing on a Tuesday at 16:20, a few women standing around told us we must wait for the women’s club to arrive. When we paid, we were told the women’s team started at 17:00. However, they start to gather much earlier, and try and block anyone who wants to start. When I played over the weekend, I had a discussion with two women who work in the office. they were rude and unfriendly. I play golf for fresh air, exercise and relaxation. It is difficult to play a good game with the negative environment.

Always happy
Reviewed May 16, 2025
I'm now a repeat offender. I've never seen this course in such good condition. If you love peace and quiet and slopes, this is the place for you. Fairways are even and short, making fairway woods easy to play. The bunkers are soft, and the greens, while slow, are fair. Tactics are required on almost every hole; you have to play with the terrain. The nice thing is that you can play at short notice; tee times are no problem. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has a lovely terrace, and the food was delicious, too.

Golfing in Bad Herrenalb
Reviewed May 14, 2025
Leaving Herrenalb towards Bernbach, you'll find the Bad Herrenalb-Bernbach golf course, including access to the parking lot, about 100 meters after the last houses on the left. After about 30 meters, you'll quickly reach the clubhouse, which offers a restaurant (closed on Mondays), restrooms, and a reception desk with very friendly staff, as well as tee box T1. The course's architecture is perfectly adapted to the hilly terrain (tee-offs vary for 9 and 18 holes), and only truly reveals itself during the round. It's physically and technically challenging (a small overview map is available from the reception desk), and it's in very good condition. During the week, the course usually offers plenty of space for bookings or a "spontaneous round" (there - free - play). A driving range, putting green, and golf school (Pro Robert Fischer) complete the offerings, and after a 9- or 18-hole round, the clubhouse's restaurant with its beautiful "Bella Vista Terrace" is highly recommended. All in all, a place that I can only recommend and would love to visit again and again!

Black Forest feeling
Reviewed May 8, 2025
This golf course isn't exactly easy to play. However, golf isn't an easy sport in general. But that challenge is precisely what makes our sport so special. Personally, I find playing straight all the time too boring.
...So if you love this game and want to get a taste of the Black Forest, you should definitely play a round in Bad Herrenalb. Surrounded by birdsong, beautifully nestled in the valley, this course really lets me unwind. The occasional incline doesn't detract from the athletic aspect. After all, I want to get some exercise.
The restaurant with its great terrace and, in my opinion, very good cuisine, scores points with me, as do the rest of the premises and the secretariat.
Not having to book tee times and a friendly atmosphere among the golfers are also advantages.
... Keep it up

Tactically challenging and scenically a dream
Reviewed May 8, 2025
I played the course for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The course demands precise play and good course management. The fairways with elevated tees or side slopes, in particular, require careful planning of your shots. Simply hitting it far is definitely not enough here. I loved how varied the holes were, without seeming unfair. The greens were in decent condition, and the fairways were well-maintained. The restaurant was also pleasant—good food and friendly service. The course is highly recommended for players who want to think and not just "hit it."

A day like a holiday – golfing in the Bernbachtal
Reviewed May 8, 2025
A day at the Bad Herrenalb golf course is like a mini-vacation. Nestled in the beautiful natural surroundings of the Bernbach Valley, you can play in absolute tranquility with magnificent views. Thanks to modern robotic lawnmowers, the fairways are excellently maintained, even in this location – truly impressive!
A particularly nice feature: After your round, sit on the restaurant terrace, gaze out over the course, and end the day in a relaxed manner. A definite recommendation for anyone who appreciates nature, tranquility, and challenging golf!

Herrenalb - if you want to torture yourself
Reviewed May 8, 2025
For mountain goats, here you definitely need a good level of fitness due to the steep fairways and especially the paths to the tees
If you can, you should take a cart
The condition of the course could be improved - mown grass is simply left lying (a real imposition for a tournament), the greens are so dull and bumpy (is the greenkeeper not looking or is that intentional?) that putting on the already challenging slope becomes a gamble. The fairways are so badly mown that anywhere else it would definitely be semi-rough. The paths to the next tees are not well signposted.
Often fences for the goats
Not a single track is really straight, so the balls always roll at an angle, very tricky
What I really liked is that on this 9-hole course the tees change during the next round (front to back nine) so it doesn't get boring.
Hole 5 has a plateau and a raised tee with a great view. Tactics are required here, as the green must be approached precisely, otherwise the ball will roll steeply down the side again. Hole 8 is a great and long par 3 with a high tee shot and a challenging green. Here, you'll want to stay straight.
Very nice staff in the secretariat
Nice club members
The food is standard Italian. The salad was great, but the pizza was limp and thick, although generous and topped with fresh vegetables.
The service could be more attentive; you wait a long time for drinks or even for a repeat order because no one comes. The same thing happens when paying.

Dear Captain 🇺🇸,
Thank you very much for taking the time on May 8,2025, to share your impressions of our Herrenalb-Bernbach Golf Club with the golf community. We greatly appreciate your detailed feedback – it helps us continuously refine our offerings and meet the highest standards.
Course & Topography Your comment on the challenging topography of our course is justified. Our nine holes are deliberately integrated into the characteristic Black Forest terrain and challenge and encourage players of all skill levels. To increase playing comfort, we are now more clearly indicating our cart option at tee 1. Additional path signage and more precise distance information are currently being installed.
Condition
• Fairways & grass clippings: Our greenkeeping team has optimized the mowing schedule and grass collection systems. In the future, no grass clippings will be left on the fairways.
• Greens: Through intensive scarification, careful sanding and expert rolling, the true roll speed will be noticeably increased starting this week.
Signage & Goat Enclosures: The new directional arrows to the tees have been commissioned. In close consultation with the farmer, we are also evaluating how fences can be visually reduced without compromising the high animal welfare standards.
Gastronomy: Our team of tenants was delighted by your praise for the freshness of our salad. We have taken your critical comments regarding the pizza and service into account. The menu is currently being revised, and the service team is receiving targeted training with a focus on attentiveness, guest orientation, and perfect timing.
Your Highlights: Your positive feedback on the varied tees, the impressive panorama on hole 5, and the challenging par 3 on hole 8 confirm our course philosophy. We will continue to maintain and further enhance these characteristics in the future.
Our personal invitation: We would be delighted if you could personally experience the improvements we've implemented. We'd be delighted to invite you to an exclusive 9-hole round, including a golf cart. To schedule an appointment, please contact us at info@gc-bh. de – we'll, of course, leave a voucher for you.
With best regards from the Black Forest, Your Club Secretariat · Golf Club Herrenalb-Bernbach eV

Limburg Design 1A
Reviewed June 9, 2023
The Bad Herrenalb 9-hole course is beautifully embedded in the northern foothills of the Black Forest! After only 3 holes, it becomes clear that Dr. Bernhard von Limburger has also left a small masterpiece in the Black Forest! To build the one easy to walk place in such a wooded hill area is great design art!
Three par 3 don't bother even on only 9 holes. Of course, the tracks are a bit tricky and the course has to be played tactically. The course was in good condition and the Black Forest course is a dream in the evening sun!

The place is well maintained and play alternation pond. Friendly welcome. Here you can still play at any time without a tee time. Fantastically embedded in the Bernbachtal. Good food in the Bella Vista with a view of the Bernbach Valley and the Bad Herrenalb golf course.

The weird Black Forest
Reviewed August 15, 2021
Yesterday I played a 9-hole round with a friend (beginner, member of the GC Bad Herrenalb).
First of all: A CART is worth tons of gold on this place! ;-) Or you are tough when you are on foot ;-)
My experiences:
Registration: Uncomplicated and cordial :-) GF 30 € / WE is SUPER!
Driving range: kept a bit "compact" ;-) You hit slightly uphill, so the strokes seem shorter... BIG PLUS: Water dispenser on the DR (COOLED WATER)!
Place: Condition of care was good (whoever expected velvet fairways will be disappointed ;-) Greens were sanded and therefore slow( but was mentioned on Club HP). Paths between the lanes are short, tee-offs always seemed small to me, but there are always different tee-offs you should play 18-hole to change the course a bit).
Space character: Parkland light, and HÜGEL HÜGEL HÜGEL, SLOPE SLOPE SLOPE :-)
Beginners and high handicaps (I experienced it yesterday) are very demanding!
Highlights for me were hole 5 and hole 8 (increased tees and hit the valley, at hole 5 there was also a FW with 2 different high levels and a plateau green). "Water shy" have it easy here, apart from 2 streams and a small pond at the 5 there is NO.
Gastronomy: Freshly renovated with a new tenant, the menu is therefore rather clear, but VERY delicious food at not overpriced prices :-)
Conclusion: I liked it :-) If you want to play challenging golf and want to challenge yourself when it comes to precision, you should go for a round at the GC Bad Herrenalb.

Moderately manicured field
Reviewed September 17, 2020
Moderately well-kept field, not worth the green fee.
Labelless golf game, single players who disrupt the course of the game, a pro who suddenly plays the course out of nowhere with absolute beginners.
For a 9-hole round almost 3 hours of playing time with what feels like 90 minutes waiting time, sometimes more than 15 minutes on more than 4 tees; absolutely not recommended.
The best of the restaurant vouchers (5 € / green fee)! grace

In the middle of the Black Forest
Reviewed July 15, 2019
The 9 holes are really great integrated into the landscape. Some are particularly spectacular and challenging, only 3 of the tracks are relatively average... 6,7, and 9, at least in my opinion. Up and down, with many beautiful views into the forest landscape. The care condition is at a good level. The secretariat is friendly and uncomplicated! As a beginner, you should probably bring a few more balls... Real water hazards (yes... there are not any more ...) are here rather less the case, but almost everywhere sloping fairways make balls disappear relatively easily.. I highly recommend this place to play, especially if you are used to more flat places, this one offers a great variety!

GC Bad Herrenalp
Weather sunny 27 C, little wind,
Course characteristics:
9 hole course with partly different abatement levels for front-line and back-line tracks, thus also with 18 hole rounds no boredom.
However, the two Par5 tracks are very similar.
Overall the place is partly narrow, very hilly, partly very strong winds. Very nice on different levels times in narrow times in sprawling distance to the other railways.
With many great views far into the whole valley.
Others:
Great friendly service.
Nice maintained clubhouse
Good gastronomy with upscale offer
Very open, hospitable members
Conclusion: Highly recommended, possibly Cart use, in order to enjoy the great views.

Schwarzwald-golf
Reviewed May 19, 2015
Very beautiful 9-hole course in the Black Forest, in a narrow valley. The tracks have partially right and left each high mountain.
The friendliness, cleanliness and excellent course maintenance, who had set out other reviews I can confirm only fully.
It is a very mountainous course, the z. T requires precise play. The individual holes are very varied. I would like to highlight the 4th and 8th hole in which the ball almost "rushes down to the valley." Without trolley or cart a course that demands the player physically. But there are just flat places elsewhere ... ..
