Exciting tracks in beautiful surroundings
Reviewed October 10, 2024
Again, as everywhere in Alto Adige, friendly staff and quick responses to email inquiries. - From the first hole on, playing on the terraced courses is a lot of fun and it is often advisable to play strategically. There are always beautiful views towards Merano or up the valley. Sometimes it is a little unclear where the next fairway is. The condition of the course was fine for us in October, even after the rain. The routing was a little unfortunate at the end, with long paths after holes 12 and 16. The two 200m par 3s are unusual (but good). For me, they are more challenging than St. Vigil. - You should definitely play if you are in the Merano/Bolzano area!

Disappointing condition
Reviewed September 10, 2024
We played the course today and the condition is disappointing. The fairways are more like alpine meadows and would be considered "rough" on well-maintained courses. The greens are often damaged and no one takes care of pitch marks. Given the high green fees and the reputation, we expected more. Once you've done it, you don't have to go back.

...in the top 100 list...
Reviewed July 30, 2022
...the club is managed in Italy - which lists 60 clubs - currently ranked 32 ahead of St. Vigil ranked 41. This has led to great expectations, we know almost half of all courses that are ranked, we have a large part visited several times.
To get straight to the point, we are disappointed, we expected a lot more, the reasons are numerous:
Mountainous, hilly courses are no longer our thing - because of the ladies who go on strike regularly. We men often use a car these days, want to play golf and not do fitness training. Even there things are still going on, with these very high temperatures anyway...
The decision was right, because the distances from the green to the tee are decent with corresponding differences in height.
The layout has also led to a few questions for us, basically the landing zones from the tee on this course are very difficult or hardly ever visible, even with a 3 wood.
The aforementioned moats on holes 8 and 10 are part of it. Hole 8 attacking the green with the driver - our leader succeeded, we others played a long iron in front of the obstacle. Hole 10 with a full wood 3 is easy to overcome, playing the driver is a lottery and you have no idea whether the ball will fit.
The landing zones are often very narrow, water, trees - even in the middle of the fairways - and bunkers constrict them severely.
Directional poles are a must for such a course!!!
Overall it is a good course, with a lot of variety and some very good and exciting holes, but also some that are not so successful. We really liked the long par 3 - more than 200 meters back tees - as well as the downhill par 3 hole 9. The best hole for us is the 12 - par 5.
The course maintenance is not convincing in many parts, many brown areas, even those with hardly any grass. Everything is OK where the water goes, next to it...
The mowing cadence left a lot to be desired and was probably not only due to the weather conditions. Some of the semi had the green tour character around and in front of it, good tees, very good greens, the rest a bit different...
However, what is not possible are not freshly engraved pin cups, they were last engraved several days ago - all were frayed with yellow edges!!!
The tees were fine, the greens were very good and looked great too. The thunderstorms caused a lot of water and were therefore soft to play rather slowly. The views from the tee onto the fairways weren't always that great after all...
We have never received such a large stroke saver - A5 - that has served us well, even if it is not complete. Unfortunately, there is no information about the greens - dimensions and inclinations - are mandatory for such a book, especially since the green dimensions are very different.
For such a course, the display of the drive line - from the player's point of view - would also be a prerequisite.
They all gave three stars!!!
For us, this complex has no place in the top 100 list of Italy in this condition - is not justified...

Beautiful alpine golf course with weaknesses
Reviewed July 3, 2022
We (Hcp 44+12) were here in early July and can confirm both the positive and the negative reviews. Friendly staff, nice place with an exciting layout: admittedly a lot of blind deductions, but you shouldn't have the goal of playing your handicap the first time anyway! Very small greens with some brown and jagged spots, some wonderful like a carpet, but always way too slow. The fairways also range from bone dry to soft and wet. In addition, the gastro was closed, but according to the sign the bar was supposed to be open: but it wasn't! The elevators were closed for revision. Altogether the 90€ were clearly too much. For this, the place must be in better condition in July. Still nice to play overall.

Highly recommended
Reviewed October 21, 2021
Very great and well-kept place. Are super satisfied and it was a very nice experience. Are there 3 times a week. In the secretariat they are very courteous and flexible. In the event of problems, a solution was found immediately. Of course there weren't any major problems. The course is highly recommended, but also quite demanding. Which was all the more fun. We were there for the second time this year. Once in spring, when there were some bald spots, we were told that there was a lot of snow in winter and that we are working on it. So of course we had an understanding. This time the course was in very good condition. TOP. You could see that it was being worked on. We recommend the place. Thumbs up. Looking forward to next year.

Number 17 in Europe? I do not think so
Reviewed September 6, 2021
Went to this golf course with great expectations. Number 17 in Europe and € 90 green fee. But reality looks different. Tees and fairways with lots of bare spots and weeds. Holes not re-punched and slow greens. Layout with some blind strokes. Some holes are really interesting, but for such a price the quality of the course has to be right

Renovation necessary
Reviewed July 4, 2021
The haircuts are partly burnt, high and interspersed with dandelions.
The fairways not recognizable from the tee, poorly mowed, sometimes deep holes, burned and bald spots.
The paths and entrances to the greens are often washed out.
The greens themselves are poorly cut, dull and slow.
90 euros for the green fee is a complete joke, with 50 euros the place would be well paid.
The clubhouse does not invite you to linger.
We wanted to play the course 3 times this week, it will definitely not happen!
Number 17 in Europe?! The place needs to be redeveloped in width!

Lots of unique selling points
Reviewed September 27, 2020
First: You park in a kind of underground car park and then you can take an inclined elevator, which is otherwise only available in Hanover City Hall, to get to the clubhouse.
Second: A kind of escalator is integrated into the course at the 18th hole for walkers.
Otherwise: A well-maintained course whose holes are usually built parallel to the slope and so do not have THE height differences such as Corvara or St Vigil Seis. However, some blind holes that you will play differently than the newcomer if you know the course. Oh yes: There are differences in altitude on the connecting paths, which is why we were happy about our cart. We had fun but would question the rating of 17th most popular place in Europe, it can't be because of the place.

The fairways were in very bad condition in places. The sand in many bunkers is hard as concrete. Directional poles would be helpful. Even balls that had been hit could no longer be found. The greens were fine. The condition of the course definitely does not justify the high green fee.

Once Upon a time...
Reviewed August 1, 2020
... years ago a beautiful and well-maintained golf course. Unfortunately, the situation has changed dramatically. But first the only positive. The greens are impeccable and fast (except for the many unmarked pitch marks, but that's because of the indecent golfers and not because of the course).
But now for criticism: The tees from white are either almost without grass or full of weeds. The edges of the bunker are overgrown, some bunkers have been left entirely to their fate and are now almost overgrown. The fairways are neglected and full of brown spots.
With the many blind holes, directional posts are completely missing. You play on good luck, because the boards on the tees are of little help and are also quite weathered.
The rented set knocked out the bottom of the barrel. The bag was full of holes, there were still the drinks bottles of the predecessors in the pockets and the clubs were incomplete and also getting old. A shame.
We stayed at the very good golf hotel Andreus, but that no golf club makes friends. Either the course will be completely renovated as soon as possible or golfers should look for a different golf resort.

Streams exactly in the driveland zone that you don't recognize as such from the tea, everything crooked, stopping at the top, you see nothing, it will roll down etc. etc. etc. etc. !!! Sometimes beautiful old trees that are not included in the design, all very, very funny! Since we are good on foot, the best thing was the completed mountain hike and the calories burned ... !!! If you don't want to go on a mountain tour, you MUST also invest in a car, at least that dear operator should be included! 100, - € for 2 persons including car, that would be acceptable and would protect you a little from these reviews! The comparison, price-performance cannot be drawn at all! Two top hotel complexes, one of them brand new, it seems, flank the course! Everything is geared towards sports, horse riding, tennis, soccer field etc. etc.! I have played over 700 golf courses and can only guess, redesign the course or change the price completely! Super 4-5 star hotels do not make a good golf course and do not justify a 4-5 star green fee!
In this case it does not count: "what costs nothing is worth nothing" !!! If you only go golfing, then please only with a 2: 1 voucher, a well-intentioned tip!

Third experience: 90 € green fee for a mountain pasture, always stop on the mountain and hope that the ball rolls down???
No direction indicators for blind deductions!

Front way away:
I have no understanding for all the bad reviews of the golf course.
The space:
It is a beautifully located golf course with a challenging but fair layout.
If you are not completely forgiven by the tea or too short, you never really have a blind slap in front of you, but the place does not forgive mistakes and punishes immediately with ball losses and blind blows.
The first 9 holes meander up the mountain with some doglegs, but are no problem for athletic golfers on foot.
The Back-9 is played at the foot of the mountain with ever-present water hazards.
Conclusion:
All in all, a fantastic Alpine golf course, which is difficult and demanding, but you do not want to get your score on vacation.

Better live than dead
Reviewed June 15, 2017
On the 14th of June, 2017, we were beaten as a family at 11.30 in sultry weather. At hole 6 it was very windy, dark clouds gathered on it and it started first lightly and then stronger rain.
At tee-off 8 it thundered and we hurried to go to the hotel before an imminent thunderstorm in the mountains. Other flights also acted because the weather was threatening. I went to the secretariat and inquired about the weather forecast. An unfriendly lady told me that she did not make the horn to the demolition of the game and we could further. She showed me the weather map and said in the Passeier Valley there was no warning for lightnings. However, I saw areas marked red in the region as a whole, it would have thundered and for me it was the sign for the good health to break off. The lady was still unaware. I am very annoyed about their behavior as well as no response - I am very used to such weather conditions in England. We had thought of spending our holiday here. After this event, this is no longer an option. Service, friendliness and also protection of health are a foreign word here. There are many nice alternatives in South Tyrol. Here never again.. Think that it could be life-threatening and the secretariat does not get it with!

Platzzustand.- In general, very good. Greens were a little slow but very well maintained in Apil. Fairways scarify. Through the mountain location you stand while batting often times above or below the ball. But still keeps within limits, if you hit the fairway.

It has already made us a bit suspicious that you drive to the clubhouse with a small funicular. In the clubhouse we durftrn then pay the rather expensive green fees and practice on at 10 am still covered with dew putting green. At the range there were 25 old and battered balls for 4 euros. The course consists almost exclusively of short doglegs -blinde haircuts and many turnovers by high roughs included. The greens varied between very fast and semi-rough. A gentleman tee was not mowed - tee from the rough. As Signaturehole we would train 15 indicate where the green is not water or bunkers defended by a special 30-meter birch. The place we would describe as mountain goats place and although I as an avid runner walked already 6 half marathons,, was my overkill.

Nice location but annoying ball Search
Reviewed September 1, 2016
The very scenic location space is maintained, very ordinary undulating greens, unfortunately, very narrow fairways, more on that later. Staff very friendly, green fee + cart, which is highly recommended, quite expensive.
The course is not too long, but the many blind haircuts and face-offs are problematic in the narrow fairways, especially since the first cut is heavily interspersed with clover and meadow herbs and swallowed the balls. And here begins the problem: annoying, time-consuming search Ball, also in apparently good hits. Conclusion: Well think about whether you want to make the not exactly cheap place, reckon turnovers. For the Greenkeeper:
Fairways wider mow and maintain the semi so short that you at least see his ball, then is also the holiday golfer more pleasure into the house.

Also in the clubhouse there is light and shadow. Depending on what the employee gets one, the service is friendly and competent or not.
The driving range balls are too expensive. € 4 for almost 30 bad murmur is asking too much. The chipping green is nicely done itself, but the tee area is quite a field. The putting green is a nice size and has significant elevation changes and breaks up.
