Characteristics

This picture-postcard golf course was modelled into the gentle foothills of the Alps close to the lake of constance, designed by Robert Trent Jones sr. The 18 hole course is regarded as one of the most challenged in Europe and provides athletic golfers with just the right amount of pressure: long, narrow fairways, almost 100 bunkers, and numerous water hazards. All guests can enjoy the beautiful view of the Swiss Alps from the large sun terrace of the hotel and restaurant.

Excellent test of your game!

Golf course: Excellent design and in my view the most interesting golf course in the region. Challenging but fair — with all the facets of your game being tested.

It is important to select with some humility the color of the tees you will play. Playing yellow if you cannot drive 180 meters will make it very difficult to enjoy the design — there is no shame in playing from the blues. My recommendation to the club is not to list the colors of the tees by gender.

My read of most holes:
- hole 1 is a great starting hole giving you the chance to build your confidence.
- hole 3 a long dog-leg left par 4 that rewards a tee shot to the left of the fairway and a precise approach.
- holes 4,7, 9 are challenging and interesting par 5s. To get on the green in 3 requires three good shots and the greens are very well protected!
- holes 5 and 8 are downhill par 3s with water in play testing club your mid-iron club selection.
- hole 11 is a great par 3 calling very precise long iron play to a very narrow and well protected green.
- holes 10 and 12 require accurate blind tee shots and careful approach.
- hole 13 is a long par 3 (207 meters from yellow!) with the bunkers to the right of the green and more unusual behind the green!
- holes 14 and 16 are long and narrow but visually less interesting.
- holes 17 and 18 are great finishing holes. 17 is probably my favorite hole!

Overall a great golf course. Excellent maintenance and conditioning. Very friendly staff. Moderately hilly — a great walk and dog friendly.

Very nice park - excellently maintained

Golf course:
Played from September 15th to 20th, 2024. Access is easy, although there are a few parking spaces on busy days.
Very friendly staff in the pro shop (surprisingly large and good selection) and in the secretariat.

The entire facility is extremely stylish, with great attention to detail (flower beds, water features, art sculptures). The driving range is functional, the practice putting green is not in the best shape.
Despite heavy rain in the first few days (electric cars not allowed), the fairways are playable and the greens are excellently maintained - congratulations.
Restaurant with a nice terrace, menu could be a bit more varied.

Hotel...
...with a new team that is extremely friendly and customer-oriented. Breakfast buffet is very varied, even for a small number of guests. Rooms partially renovated, perfect for our needs (with a dog). Sauna can be heated up within 30 minutes on request. Massages and cosmetic treatments can be ordered by phone (didn't work for us).

The beautiful grounds and the friendliness of the staff outshine everything - highly recommended!

Good, not very good

Played the day before yesterday. Reserving and booking the tee time was easy and convenient via PC Caddie. Checking in on site was also easy.
When driving across the golf course and visiting the driving range, which is difficult to reach, you might wish to use an e-trolley. In my opinion, this is not necessary.
Despite the rain, the fairways were in good condition. The same could not be said of the greens. The majority had large areas of damage. In my opinion, the secretary could have pointed this out.
The rather cramped conditions with opposing fairways require increased attention from all players. Instructions would be very helpful here.
The end on the terrace was pleasant.
