Nice place in hilly terrain
Reviewed July 18, 2022
The Augsburg Golf Club is a beautiful course in hilly terrain. This leads to interesting, varied and quite demanding tracks with many slopes and blind shots. You can clearly see the two construction phases of the course on the greens: Bernhard von Limburger's greens are small, strongly undulating and very well defended and are very challenging to putt at a slightly higher green speed. Unfortunately, Donald Harradine's greens can't hold a candle to them. Although larger and equipped with more pin positions, but also with significantly less movement and less interesting defense, they correspond to the usual Harradine standard. Overall, the place is very narrow and the three lanes that lead through the forest are less than 50m between the trees or penalty area or OB on the verge of claustrophobia. Carefree teeing off with the driver is rather a rarity overall. The inglorious highlight is the 12th, which has been rebuilt as a par 5 (the sixth!). It's so narrow that you only hit a middle iron and then hit the second shot, again with a middle iron. To make matters worse, an oak tree was planted in the fairway. Whatever the idea behind it, it didn't work. Angela Moser, who, as far as I know, is a member of Augsburg, should get out her "Dozer" and thin out the 12 a bit! The condition was excellent, both fairways and greens were excellent. Very fast greens would hardly be puttable anyway due to the undulations. Last tips for the round: An electric trolley is an advantage and definitely pack mosquito spray!

Fantastically
Reviewed June 2, 2021
The journey alone gives an idea of what to expect...
A very hilly place.
Care condition was absolute top!
You need a good physical condition, or you should treat yourself to a cart to enjoy this wonderful place.
Wonderful terrace.
Very friendly staff in the secretariat.
Well priced gastronomy.
Only the service could have been a little faster, given that half the terrace was empty.

Top parkland course
Reviewed June 21, 2019
No question of the home ground of the German golf legend (no statue, too few pictures of Langer, etc., for my taste, 2 times Master Winner and 6 times Ryder Cup player) Bernhard Langer has it all! It goes between forest and park landscape pretty uphill and downhill, with good condition no problem! The rough (second mowing edge) is uncomfortably thick and difficult to play. The condition was perfect, no more burns from last summer! Only the greens are much too long and too slow for a leading place, suppose that is always the case, because one day later a big tournament took place (mowing with a care window of 2h, wherever 9 holes are closed, everything was crowded to the 10th..., funny too)! Therefore only 4 stars! Scenic and the design of one of the best places in Bavaria!
The ladies in the secretariat and Proshop were remarkably friendly and helpful!
With Albrecht Golf Guide 2: 1, for such a place, madness ... !!!

One of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in southern Germany
Reviewed April 6, 2019
Certainly one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in southern Germany. Very hilly but beautiful course design and very quiet parkland golf course. Home Golf Club by Bernhard Langer. I like to play it again and again. Definitely no place for beginners. Precision is always needed anyway, but without length the place is not much fun. From handicap 24, however, opens up the full potential of this place. Very nice club secretary and good restaurant are added. Absolutely recommendable.

Missing for 5 stars
Reviewed June 29, 2018
We played at the end of June; the place was in relatively good condition, probably thanks to the irrigations. The up and down makes the place interesting, beautiful trees. The mostly raised greens are a real challenge. It is absolutely quiet here, no noise (except the lawnmowers). Gastronomy was very good. What is missing for the 5th star was the payment option with card; As foreign guests we do not always carry so much cash with us.

Constant uphill downhill
Reviewed June 24, 2018
Wonderful old trees, good (but not perfect for leading course) care condition, very friendly reception and absolute peace (no mobile network!) Characterize the place.
The restoration is ok.
But it should only be visited by players who like a constant playing of slopes up and down. Therefore 4 * -

Superb golf course
Reviewed September 4, 2017
The Golftag has already started very nicely, because the very friendly lady at the secretariat has directed my caffeine supply with a cup of coffee. Then I had the pleasure of playing a wonderful place embedded in the nature. Very varied courses, well maintained (rather narrow) fairways and spurtreue greens ensure a great game.
Restaurant good, uncomplicated clubhouse kitchen, with nice staff.
A clear five-star vote and a reunion firmly scheduled (Played August 2017)

Beautiful, sporty place in the surrounding region of Augsburg
Reviewed July 20, 2017
The place is very nicely laid out and is practically in the middle of the forest. Due to the constant up and down and the partly quite narrow fairways, the course is not easy to play. The greens are usually increased and not excessive.
I found the place challenging but not unfair. Due to the varied paths, there is no boredom. I recommend to everyone to take a trolley with you. Through the hilly terrain only really fit golfers should carry their bag.
The square is a real pleasure and almost unique.
Worth mentioning are the free bicycle races and the general condition of the place and the range. The greens and fairways are in very good condition.
In summary, I can recommend the area only. The staff were friendly and attentive. The new terrace at the clubhouse is inviting, the food was very good and reasonably priced.

Constant up and down in a wooded, scenic surroundings,
Reviewed July 23, 2013
I played the course in July 2013 and found great conditions. Berrnhard Langer has started here with 6 years of his golf career as a caddy.
Place State:
Perfectly. Manicured fairways, fast greens, only the sand in the bunkers could be softer.
Course layout:
The fairways are mostly narrow and often limited left and right of forest. It almost always goes up and down properly.
The greens are mostly created excessive, not overly large and partially surrounded by deep bunkers - which does not make the Preview.
For this, the path lengths are usually fair and so the GIR is for the mediocre golfer usually achievable.
Lane 3 (first downhill, then high up on Green's), lane 7 (Par5-dogleg uphill) and lane 9 (downhill-uphill-downhill-uphill Par5) are particularly well done.
But the highlight for me is track 12 (Par4 right dogleg). The tee shot must be placed on the already narrow fairway to the left, so that from there the deeper green can be played. The track is rundrum surrounded by forest - just turn again the green and enjoy!
Clubhouse / Catering:
Drinks and food were fine.
Exercise equipment:
Sufficiently available. Rarity in Germany - free range balls! - Very good!
Directions:
With 15 minutes of Augsburg is advertised on the website, that is not to create! But the actual 30 min are also worthwhile.
Overall conclusion:
The place is incredibly idyllic. Apart from the mini-village Burgwalden (felt 10 houses) there is no civilization far and wide. The place was beautifully embedded in the extensive hill landscape.
