Panorama great, biotopes flop
Reviewed June 18, 2023
We played the course on a sunny June day. The panorama was / is wonderful, the condition of the place is good. Since we took a cart, the hilly terrain and the long distances were not a problem.
As mentioned in many previous reviews, the site is literally littered with biotopes that are not allowed to be entered - if you violate this, you may be expelled (as there are signs on each of these biotopes). Theoretically - biotopes are useful, nice to look at and rarely cause problems for players. Here, however, they become a nuisance in the long run: In hilly terrain with many slopes and sloping fairways, balls naturally roll down the slopes - to be eaten by one of the biotopes here. In addition, the course has a lot of blind holes; if you don't know it, you can only guess and guess where to hit and where the ball will come to rest. On the back nine there is also a ravine that has to be played over twice and requires a long shot, as well as two very long par 5s.
Our conclusion: If you play the course as a guest for the first time, you should do it with a cart, take at least 20 balls with you (better more) and don't expect a good score, but be happy about every successful shot and enjoy the panorama.

Great anticipation - reality questionable
Reviewed September 19, 2021
It was with great anticipation that we booked a start time, because the place had been on our list for a long time. Unfortunately we hadn't been able to play it in all years.
Conclusion:
We reached the place in the best weather and optically it seemed to be in excellent condition. We didn't play it. Why?
After booking the start time in writing and asking whether it would be possible to arrive with the motorhome in the afternoon of the previous day and be able to stop, we were confirmed that this would not be a problem. There is enough space.
When we arrived we encountered a very unfriendly to sloppy service at the reception.
The question about parking was uninterested "Find something in the parking lots". Our advice that a 10 m mobile home does not fit on sloping parking spaces and that the apparently only existing car parking boxes on the access road are occupied was ignored.
We then drove away again and called GC Kössen-Kaiserwinkel directly, where we were not only welcomed in an excellent and friendly manner, but also stood very well, played a great place and also ate very well in the evening. The well-known good kitchen of the 5 star Hotel Lärchenhof behind the club did the rest.
As people of decency we have of course canceled the start time for the coming morning. The reception without behavior then simply hung up the phone.
It's a shame, because the course has to be very good, but a nice golf experience is more than just a well-tended golf course.
The golf bus tourists present are probably more important to the club than individual travelers
So we were showing non-existent possibilities

Nice interesting place with a great view
Reviewed July 22, 2021
Well-kept area with a great view all around. In any case, I recommend playing the course with a cart, as there are sometimes long distances to the next tee.
The signage could be better in parts, but otherwise there is nothing wrong with it.
Gladly again

Tricky and impressive
Reviewed July 16, 2021
Of course, the location against this backdrop is impressive. Very nice place, very well maintained and partly challenging tracks.
The signage of the place could be better, sometimes the confusion of the railways for pre-flights is not entirely harmless.
A cart or e-trolley is recommended.

Nice location - a lot of stuff.
Reviewed October 2, 2020
Playing there is like a vacation. You can see a lot around you. The hikers, the paragliders fly next to you, the cowbells ring, the Wilder Kaiser greets you with snow, the locals who drive down a ski slope on a motorcycle, beautiful country houses between the railways, the somewhat kitschy hotel buildings with turrets and bay windows and the restaurant, the architectural fits well with a ski area.
Nice reception and of course the border crossing from hole 17 back to 18 with the state signs on the way (photo!) Makes it unique. What I didn't like is the narrowness of the often sloping fairways and an incredible amount of white uncovered next to them. Well next to it it has cow meadows. But even with fairways hit very centrally, balls roll out. Am I undecided about Hole15? The 1st of the gorge. Top tee iron 5 mid fairway ball rolls into the ravine. In addition, the ball must be used for the 2nd stroke and in the range of 10 m Otherwise, trees are in between to the green. The top shot is lost frustrated sustainably. Penalty drop, then shot with 5 iron over to the green. Boogie saved... ok but what do people who are not 100 m do? Carry out? No drop zone found! So sink 3 balls and paint the hole or, as seen with locals, cut the shortening and simply don't take the hole 15/16. On the other hand, I was able to play the blind tees well but only with a driver because my teammate explained to me where to take the shortcut and the good map showed that the man with carry would have to land 200 m behind the obstacle on the fairway. But without this knowledge I would play with irons.

In a beautiful landscape
Reviewed August 1, 2020
The course is located in a really nice area, but in addition to good course maintenance there are also negative points. There are simply a lot of "blind" discounts where the potential danger for the preflight is considerable. Without space knowledge, the place is difficult to play despite good signage. The greens are only visually beautiful, since they were extremely slow and dull - a shame actually!
Otherwise you will not get bored, tricky fairways, many gorges and biotopes, it is important to keep your concentration high.
Space at par 72 and "only" a total length of 5,461 m is therefore difficult to rate!

Great place - long ways
Reviewed September 22, 2019
I played the course for the first time today and borrowed an e-trolley; good choice! But in any case an e-cart would be better! There are long paths to overcome between the tracks and quite a few altitude differences, so my urgent recommendation for an e-cart! However, it is a beautiful place in good condition, if people would not always leave their pitch marks - too bad! Otherwise some holes are pretty tricky to play but the course always stays fair and should be fun for any handicap. When returning to Reit I would love to play and recommend him again and again!

Beautiful place with pitfalls
Reviewed August 11, 2019
We played here today, came directly from 144 from Bad Griesbach.
Very nice tracks in beautiful surroundings.
The running uphill is sometimes exhausting, of course, was clear to us, but to master.
What we did not like was the cutting height. The fairway a bit too high, ok, you can live with. What did not work was the cutting height of the first cut. You had to look for the ball, it was so deep right next to the fairway, too deep for the pre-green, we found that to be unfair.
Therefore unfortunately only 3 stars.

It gets dangerous in the rain
Reviewed July 29, 2019
We played the course recently in the rain. The landscape is certainly spectacular, but the paths and Faiways in the wet quite dangerous. When traveling with trolley, the steep terrain can be challenging. Good shoes and trolleys with downhill brakes should be the best. And another tip for beginners: Take enough balls with you, the space is enough. Clubhouse and Proshop are ok. The service could be a bit friendlier.

This is where the ghosts divide!
Reviewed June 10, 2019
My impressions are certainly not objective, because I'm just a golfer who wants to play a beautiful, challenging golf course.
This was fulfilled only conditionally.
It's not about whether the place is too hilly or has many slopes.
I am fit and, if possible, always on foot.
What annoyed me already, is the actual space design. So many blind (the counted 2.5 of a preliminary assessment must mean another golf course) deductions have not yet come to me. How things are different, for example, Adamstal shows (topographically for the golf course probably even more sophisticated, but unevenly lust-promoting in the execution).
Ok, I'm not masochistic enough to play here more often, others think that's great (just try it out).
In addition, the greens were in a rather modest condition.
Positive are of course the actual landscape and also the restaurant, where you can eat well and not overpriced.
Unfortunately, this only gives a total of just 3 stars.

Nice, exhausting place... well maintained

I played the course in July 2018 and he was in great shape.
A lot of variety and sporting challenges can be found here. Whether beginners or high handicappers will be happy here?!?! It goes up a few times, so you should be good on foot. The place is a ball eater if you do not know it. If you play it 2-3x it will be easier and you will not have to be annoyed that often

Demanding
Reviewed June 9, 2018
The course is beautifully landscaped, very well maintained, beautiful greens, quite a bit of greens, which are far below or above one. Friendly staff. But:
Although it does not look like it on the pictures, many tracks have either very narrow landing zones and blind haircuts. The water hazards are almost all designated as biotopes whose entry is prohibited. In part, I found the design already as something unfair. But, as I said, a beautiful landscape. If you do not care about the score and you have enough balls (that's how it should be at least 10) then you can definitely enjoy it.

Rewarding challenge...
Reviewed January 10, 2018
I have to admit, I've only gradually grown in love with the place - for that I love it all the more violently... yes, there are inclines - but not too many. Yes, there are blind deductions (two and a half), yes he is a challenge, but that's why he is not bored, he is up and down steeply, but has not harmed anyone who understands golf as a sport. The views are probably unique in Germany. But no paradise without a snake: in the high season everything is very slow, the views on the architecturally absurdly stupid hotel are sometimes unreasonable and the traffic on the small streets around it could also be quiet... but that does not really diminish the pleasures which can give this place!

Always a challenge
Reviewed September 12, 2017
We often play in Reit, but every time I get to my limits, because the HCP does not want to get out of his head. The place is top maintained, and the marshal Stefan offers a super food. Once there was even fresh, still warm, "Auszogne". I agree with my prescribers, you have to know exactly where you are going, since there are hardly really flat surfaces. If you have played on the green, this is often also uneven. The ball loss can be immense, so it is unwise to have only a few balls with low HCP. I had a successful round when I lost only 3 balls...
But no matter how much you complain about the place during the round, you always long for the challenge in Reit im Winkl and feel "fair" places easily as boring.

Well maintained place with many biotopes and "blind" holes
Reviewed June 26, 2017
The course was in the middle of June 2017 top maintained, but unfortunately on the day, we played, totally overrun, so that a speedy game was not possible. Numerous tracks where you can not see where to play or play when you play for the first time. In the long run the many biotopes (usually meadows) do not seem so exciting. "Real" water hazards that come into play are almost completely absent. Some - as mentioned in the evaluations already mentioned - "oblique" holes (literally and in the transposed sense) seem like from lack of space, since the terrain no longer gave.
As mentioned by the reviewer Rodigan, it is unfortunate that one did not take into account the construction of the Cubhaus. Service in the restaurant rather slow.

Nice views, but some oblique holes
Reviewed June 3, 2017
We played the course at the beginning of June 2017 and were on one side of the panorama you enjoyed on the course at all the holes.
The Wilde Kaiser and the surrounding mountains are always in view and offer real pleasure.
The course has as a real Alpine course but a few holes, which one could well-describe as tactically playable holes. For someone who plays the course for the first time, there are holes, which are too much of a coincidence and are not suitable for all gameplays, because there is no easy alternative to the intended way for higher handicappers.
If you know this and you are on it, you have due to the location and the panorama certainly a beautiful golf day.
The care of the course was not objectionable either on the fairways or on the greens.
In the club restaurant one sits compared to other places not quite as nice, because one has no view in the valley, but on the hotel and the 18th hole looks.
Conclusion: Play in good weather and enjoy the panorama. Do not take the score too seriously.

This place is a highlight
Reviewed June 3, 2016
We play this course several times a year as part of a stay at Hotel Peternhof.
This green fee is reduced by 40% and really affordable for this great, cross-border space.
Water hazards, deep gorges, mountain haircuts on far daunter lying Greens- and all this against a breathtaking alpine scenery.
Playable for all hcp's, but you should bring enough balls or to buy this Lost Balls directly for a few Euros on the fairway.
Place is well maintained, the anbiente incl. Clubhouse and pro shop as a real highlight.
So totally recommended!!

Top spot with a magnificent panorama of the Alps
Reviewed September 10, 2015
Uphill - downhill, demanding to play with everything a golfer's heart desires. A very special place in a magnificent mountain landscape, where you must cut off (amazing but also the valley tee at the driving range). Really you get to this place but until middle HCP's expense, because somehow it is in almost all strokes on a slope - up or down. Also outstanding are the club house and the restoration. I will come back!

This golf course is one of the most beautiful and interesting places in the Chiemgau and Austria for me. A part lies on the German side and the other part on the Austrian side. The varied and tactically playing holes require accurate game. A place to you should definitely play. However, an e-Trolly is an advantage. The gastronomy at the 18th hole is very nice and the food selection is more than adequate and good.
The pro shop is well stocked and the staff very nice.

Amazed..., first time because of the great scenery and then due to the usage of balls.
The place is certainly very varied and well maintained (it is the that a dry period in the summer very quickly their casualties) but by many blind and to inclined railways, it is often a matter of luck to find his ball even with (presumably) taken fairways again.
In addition, the place frequented (tourist area) is therefore a lot of players running in search of their balls back and forth behind secluded knolls and hills. One should abuse his partner as Vorcaddy, then it's already.
Due to the many general Ballsucherei gibts much congestion.
You should stop to catch a quiet week, but I never succeeded in fair weather.
We have now developed a certain love-hate relationship to this beautiful "crap meadows" and play it safe again.
