If you play
Reviewed June 29, 2023
Beautiful and exciting golf course.
Very varied holes you never feel like you've played the hole before. Unfortunately already quite dry in June. But the club can't do anything about the weather.
Nice reception and good restaurant with fair prices.

Terrific!
Reviewed August 8, 2021
I've been curious about Hohenpähl for a long time. The place must be something very special if it's Thomas Müller's home club, I thought. Today I know that he grew up a few hundred meters away (and down) in the village of Pähl. But he made an excellent choice!
The Hohenpähl golf course is about 20 kilometers from Starnberg, southwest of Lake Starnberg and south of Lake Ammersee, tucked away in the middle of nowhere. In any case, so hidden that after I had missed the exit from the main road, my navigation system was faced with an almost insoluble puzzle: to find the golf course with a detour via the village of Pähl. After an exciting odyssey through forest and gravel roads, I happily reached the clubhouse and wondered who had come up with the idea of creating a golf course here in the outback? Whoever that was, as a golfer you have to be deeply grateful to that person.
The golf course is secluded in a painterly, hilly landscape in absolute tranquility. Each run - mostly through the forest - has its own character and charm, and parallel runs are not known here. It goes up and down with quite a few inclines and a few blind strokes provide an additional challenge. The well-tended fairways and greens (which, however, were a bit slow / dull on the day of my visit) make for a lot of fun. On that hot July day I was grateful for the cart (due to a foot injury), but you can also walk the place. Electric trolleys are certainly an advantage here...
Once you have successfully completed the 18 holes, the "19" is another highlight awaiting the golfer. Clubhouse and restaurant are very modern, but pleasantly restrained in style and very tastefully decorated. What a pleasant contrast to the exaggerated buildings of other golf clubs. This also applies to the menu, where you get a lot on offer for fair prices. Anyway, my curry was excellent.
A day of golf is always something like a vacation day. After the 18 holes in Hohenpähl I feel like after a week's cure.

Demanding, beautiful place

We were there in the rainy August days and had the space to ourselves. Very well-maintained, slightly hilly course with many a challenge. Friendly staff.

Demanding - the finest
Reviewed October 15, 2019
The place presented itself in the best condition, is very hilly and yet easy to master on foot - pure nature.
Most tracks are (very) demanding, sometimes narrow and often riddled with various natural obstacles (streams, trees, bushes, reeds, pines, etc.) and the sand bunkers are well placed.
Bunker sand: it does not get any better.
Greens: fast, sometimes undulating on different levels, demanding to read.
All in all, brilliant, challenging golf, especially when you play the course for the first time. the 18th hole will probably stay in my memory forever - a par 4 (HC 2) almost impossible to create. a brilliant graduation!
The 19th hole offers a really good restaurant.
Only small disadvantage: the driving range is a bit off.
Conclusion: anytime again

Very nice well-kept and challenging place
Reviewed July 23, 2019
The place is beautiful and has some great views of the mountains!
Reception was very nice, as was the service in the club restaurant, which served very good food.
However, the behavior of various members leaves guests much to be desired. Arrogance and unfriendliness were hard to beat!!! In addition came "bungling" / mischievous at the start (ball spiral). If guests are not welcome, the club should not allow this anymore. € 160 are not a small green fee within the week and guests should be respected and treated accordingly nice.

Dear Mrs. H.,
We are very sorry that you and your spouse felt impaired by our members. Since you enjoyed our course very well, we can offer you to play a round at half green fee, so 40.00 € instead of 80.00 € per person when you come back to our area. We have 95% of very friendly and obliging members here in Hohenpähl. We are sorry that you have just met the other 5%, which is now unfortunately in every major community.
Warm regards from Hohenpähl

Top maintained and challenging
Reviewed May 20, 2019
It is a beautifully landscaped place with lots of variety. You can go in peace a nice round. It does not bother that the 9 does not lead back to the clubhouse. But one has already at 16 the view of the clubhouse and has the feeling: Am I already on the 18? Of course, the 17 and especially the 18 can be played. The 18 has it again in itself, since the green really only a few meters before is visible and the water defends it well, a nice and interesting conclusion.
Happy again.

Beautiful and challenging golf course - Nestled in a natural landscape
Reviewed April 18, 2019
A very beautiful golf course embedded in a predominantly natural landscape. Very quiet and with a lot of mature trees, this course offers real challenges. With some holes, the greens are blind to play and if you land here in the rough you have little chance to get out again. Overall, the place is well maintained and I always enjoy playing it. For me one of the most beautiful golf courses in southern Germany and I can definitely recommend it.

Exceptionally good overall package
Reviewed September 8, 2017
This place is just fun. The admittedly often inaccessible tracks are a challenge and always nice to play again. And when it does not run so well the great environment and the view into the Alps compensates. And the 19th hole is also very successful. The Golfrestaurant offers always varied food and excellent service, so it even me as a member in Tutzing also privately only to the palate here.

Upmarket average
Reviewed August 30, 2017
A very nice golf course, but like its neighbor (GC Tutzing) by nothing really stands out from the other golf courses south of Munich.
Just like all the courses in the region, it is certainly a good to very good golf course.
In the region it is more of a higher average.
The condition is good, but can still be better. ;)
In terms of layout, the course is very nice to play, there is plenty of variety and for every golfer should be something.
Unfortunately, the 18 lanes are designed in such a way that it is not possible to stop after 9 holes, because you are on the 9th hole the farthest from the clubhouse.
This is not a problem at all, but it does lead to the fact that various 9-hole players are so "right" on their tracks that they are back at the clubhouse after 9-hole. So it happens again and again, that one suddenly plays on "Quereinsteiger".
All in all, a beautiful place, in a great landscape.

Have played the course during the Munich circle Trophy.
The course is hilly beautifully set in parkland and is very spacious.
A bit annoying are the long distances parking, short game area, clubhouse, tee.
Fantastic views over the Alpine foothills and in the mountains.
Despite Super heat in summer excellent care condition.

The place is Hohenpähl from state care really very good, but unfortunately are not clear just about all tracks and playing blindly. In addition, only 18 holes really are possible because the 9 ends in the middle of the heath. To achieve parking and Range very awkward, even organizing the secretariat.

Beautiful quiet place
Reviewed September 18, 2012
The last review I read with some misunderstandings, because I had already played the course and played again today.
Yes, the greens are not currently meet the usual standard of Hohenpähl. You could resolve the mold with a lot of chemistry may, but what we make a golfer us to meddle nature as the craft. I am very glad that you can not bring the chemical mace used here. Certainly very harmful for animals and not least for us humans.
The place is beautifully built into nature and then has the unfortunate consequence that one also needs a little rise. However, who is from the parking lot to the hole 1 already fixed and ready, maybe you should pick another sport. I can not imagine that you could help me here, which makes the area too well not to.
The condition of the course was absolutely great, staff very friendly and the food and service also. Anyone looking for a chef here, is probably the wrong place. For me, it was certainly more than good.
So, dear reader, convince yourself of this place, I highly recommend it anyway.

Well okay.
Although you can on most cars, the Green has not seen, and thereby beat pretty bad cards somewhat in the right direction and then is such a high rough that you can no longer find his ball or this can not be beat. The greens were infested with snow fungus and not really nice to play.
If you want to play only 9 holes, one must set up on a long walk to the clubhouse. (Poor design) from the parking lot to the clubhouse, the sharp rise in mountain already all ready on 1 Tee.
To the driving range one may insert about 5 min walk. From ca, 16.00 clock should be a par 3 tighten at certain seasons the tee 15 is a mosquito full protective clothing, or refuse very quickly what then through the hassle usually goes in the pants otherwise you will focus on the remaining tracks only scratch the grooves.
The catering was really terrible. I ordered a pork steak that was something of greasy and flachsig that I had to give it back. Have then a sogenatte ordered the sausage was not really the Burner.
But the place is really nice. :-)))

Unparalleled...
Reviewed September 13, 2011
I played a tournament there in August and was thrilled by the first place: very varied, not overly long, but sometimes quite challenging due to steep slopes and high roughs. Great views of the foothills and the Alps, particularly rail 15 I'll come back safely, must only play better the next time...
Food was very tidy, although no star cuisine. But this must not be at the golf club.

The Golf Club Hohenpähl has a very good reputation. Like yesterday, I could see myself quite rightly!
The team is very courteous and friendly. The place is beautifully situated in the forest and offers beautiful views from some holes in's Bavarian Oberland and the mountains.
Really great and highly recommended.
