Golfclub Hochschwarzwald e.V.

Very good experience

5.0 of 5 starsReviewed August 26, 2021

Hello everyone.
Here are some topics why I think this Golf Club deserves 5 stars

1. Service - Very friendly and helpful receptionist. I read that someone wrote they could'nt play here because they had to show their homeclub sertification or something like that. In my case the receptionist only asked if I have a green card. I told yes, and that was all that was needed. So i thik they have already improved in that way.
Because i came from Estonia, I didn't bring any clubs with me which meant i had to rent clubs. Clubs themselves weren't anything special, but they did the job. Only one Sidemark to the golf club - next time make sure you have all the right clubs in the bag. I had two 8 irons and was missing a 7 iron.
2. Practise - I think they have quite decent practise oportunities. Driving range with a oportunity to practise on a matt and on a grass and even under the shelter. You could practise pitching up to 30m, bunker shots, chiping on a different green and putting on a different green as well.
3. Course - I want to point out right away that the course is in really good condition. They have defenetly improved in that, compared to reviews from couple of years ago. There is only one thing I could say I wasn't hapy about. That was the bunkers. Some bunkers had grass growing in them and the edge of a bunker wasnt refined. However most of the bunkers seemd to be in good condition, at least the ones I happend to be in, and also the sand in the bunker is very good in my oppinion. If some of you want to know how fast the greens are. Unfortunatelly i cant give you the right speed number, but in my personal oppinion they were a litle bit too slow. Some greens had very interesting and challenging slopes, but I Always over read the greens because they were quite slow. And if a green is slow, the slope of the green doesn't affect the putt that much.
The course itself looked very beautiful in my oppinion. Like it has been said here before, the First 9 is very techincal and interesting while the Back 9 is quite easy. But the diversity that the course offers with it's totaly differet first and back 9's is in my oppinion one of the best reasons why to come and play here.

I definitely recommend coming to play here. Very interesting first nine and quite easy but very beautiful back 9.
