Interesting place, but unfortunately poorly maintained
Reviewed September 11, 2022
The place is quite hilly / wavy, has side slopes from time to time and is wonderfully embedded in the wooded landscape. it's fun to play the course, it never gets boring.
some lanes are a bit wide, so that the course is not too difficult in most cases, especially since there are rarely obstacles between the tee box and the green and if there are, then only individual trees. There are (almost) no bunkers on the fairways.
Lettering very good, mostly undulating greens, sand bunkers (around the greens) are OK, ... pure nature!
the place presented itself today at best in mediocre condition. fairways pretty bad (probably due to extreme summer drought). the greens had good grass, but were quite patchy and sometimes damaged.
In the current state of care, the place is only worth 3 stars.
But if the greens and fairways are in good shape again, then a very solid 4-star rating is easily possible.
pro shop service good. there are no tee times, just come and fill the next gap. driving range available, very fair green fee.
conclusion: dignified, fun golfing pleasure - despite the quality defects.
For us gladly again.

Super nice for the eye - unfortunately bad condition
Reviewed September 16, 2021
The place is beautiful, if it weren't for the poor state of maintenance. Fairways were very wet, greens bad despite aeration, right and left of the lanes "neglected". It's a shame that the course presented itself like this, because the tracks are laid out in an exciting way and the hilly landscape lined with many trees is very beautiful.

Cleverly designed place, great recreational value
Reviewed August 13, 2021
The place is fantastic. We (Hcp 12 and 20) expected it to be harder, but it is easy to master because it is fair all round. UE you don't need a cart at all. It's not as steep as it looks from the club terrace.
Perfect for relaxation and to switch off. After the round as well, because the clubhouse is designed so extremely invitingly with a clear view, and both the secretariat and gastronomy are supportive and super nice at all times. Will be back for sure.

Perfect place condition / wonderful nature
Reviewed April 26, 2021
The GC Upper Franconia is located between Kulmbach and Bayreuth in a dreamy and peaceful natural setting. The condition of the place was great. The fairways and greens could more than meet expectations over 18 lanes. The price-performance ratio was right. The clubhouse is very spacious and the staff in the secretariat is very friendly. A visit is highly recommended! I would love to come back to Thurnau!

Condition of care from tee, fairway to the greens pathetic
Reviewed April 25, 2021
Played the 18 hole round today.
The place itself is beautifully embedded in nature and the surrounding area.
If course operators make so little effort to offer the golfer “something well cared for”, that is worth one star!
- Tees: bare with a little lawn, "around" well
- Fairways: mostly more arable, no visible demarcation to rough or semi-rough
- Greens: terrible (here you have probably played through the winter on summer greens and thus these are no longer "salvable" during the season)
- Foregreens and surroundings: the better alternative is to lie in the sand, here you are mostly lying on bare spots (the short game is therefore not fun)
- Driving range: run down, other practice areas ok
Conclusion: for a weekend of 70 euros, worth half the price at best.

Great - great place and very friendly
Reviewed October 30, 2019
The course is well maintained and for both beginners and advanced players to play. Beautiful scenery, wide fairways and well-tended greens are unique in Upper Franconia. In addition, there is a real fair pricing for green fee players with many promotions (Wednesday 30 EUR or green fee = Handicap) 1a!

Very friendly service, just as exemplary the labeling of the individual haircuts, the natural terrain following course with sufficiently wide fairways, a day of golf experienced as you wish him... we will be back

Beautiful natural scenery
Reviewed December 28, 2018
The most traditional golf club in Upper Franconia, with an ambitious care program and numerous investments already at the end of the dry year of 2018, has managed to bring the 18 tracks, which are splendidly integrated in a varied natural landscape, into such a good condition that they also meet high golfing demands. This means that the 50-year-old club can rightly claim its leading position in the region. To emphasize are the fair conditions for green fee players. Unique: the terrace view from the clubhouse to the golf course panorama.

Very nice place
Reviewed September 24, 2018
Today we played this beautiful course with a lot of wind - challenging, lots of trees = you are required as a player.
The place still drawn by the summer, but still in good condition.
Unfortunately, the restaurant had a rest day, but must be.
We liked it a lot and we will be back :-)
