On the road to recovery
Reviewed February 6, 2024
Yesterday I played again on Handicap Day in Tübingen and I have to say that the condition of the course has improved enormously. The greens were cared for much better in 2023 and now in February 2024, when you shouldn't expect much due to the time of year, I was really surprised at how good the condition is. Of course they're pretty dull at the moment, but they're definitely better than anything I wrote in my last review.
If you take the green fee on handicap day into account, the price/performance ratio would of course be 5 stars plus, but even with the full green fee I would be happy to upgrade the course to 4 stars. There are still a few details missing in order to move up to the category of leading courses, and not everything in the layout is to my liking (keyword: hole 11 - green on a par 3 that is inaccessible for "normal-length" players, or the missing one Dropping zone at track 17), but that is of course subjective, like every evaluation here. I say: keep it up and you are on the right path.

Lots of potential, with room for improvement
Reviewed September 11, 2021
I actually really like the system, because there are some positive things to report. The practice area is spacious and one of the most beautiful I've seen so far. The gastronomy is far above the level of the club, which we regularly visit on site. The secretariat is also on the ball and has always been friendly towards us. And handicap day, when you can play the big course for little money, is a great idea.
The 3 stars, on the other hand, mean that both places disappointed me in terms of care status. The smaller course (9 holes, Schlossplatz) has a nice layout with challenging lanes. The fairways and especially some greens are unfortunately not in good condition. It is the same for me with the ways from one train to the next. A lot seems to be developing here. Maybe it will get even better in the future, but at the moment it spoiled our gaming rather than coming back so soon.
A similar picture emerges for me for the large course, at least when measured against the lush normal green fee. The tees and fairways are largely in good condition here. The bunkers were only visually beautiful on the last visit, but ultimately hardly playable, because under a thin layer of sand there seemed to be a firmly baked ground that simply did not allow a normal bunker strike. In addition, many greens are so covered with pitch marks that it is already (negatively) noticeable. I also found the greens to be extremely dull and, accordingly, hardly controllable in length. One might argue that maybe I am lacking in quality. On our regularly visited course (and that is a public 9-hole) there is a completely different quality at the same time, which I wanted to expect on a championship course, at least if you want to award more than 3 stars. I also don't find the layout of the large square as varied as in some other square in the area. But if you want to practice longer tees and corresponding transport strokes, the course is very suitable. For 4 or 5 stars, the rest should also fit. I really hope this was just a snapshot. I am happy to give the place another chance soon.

Long distances, long lines, long waiting in the secretariat
Reviewed September 8, 2020
The championship course is very nice. 3 to 4 lanes with real challenges, the other lanes are decent average, which you will soon no longer remember and the distances are sometimes long.
The terrain is hilly but easy to walk. The condition of tees, fairways and greens is good, sometimes very good.
Many members abbreviate, although this was expressly prohibited. As a result, we had to wait several times and then expanded into a foursome with very nice members so that we don't just stand around from 14 onwards.
There is an urgent need for action at the secretariat. The lady was completely overwhelmed by answering inquiries on the phone as well as from walk-in customers. At first we stood in the secretariat for 25 minutes and were not even noticed by the lady who called. In total, we spent 50 minutes between the arrival at the parking lot and the first tee, paying our green fee. We decided not to use the spacious exercise facilities because we want to finish at some point.
The gastronomy was very good and there we talked to very nice members again.

Absolutely again
Reviewed February 26, 2018
Admittedly, the still quite young botany needs something to give the place a homely aura. But the fairways and the greens are in an excellent, not to say fantastic, state for me.
It felt like you were walking on a fluffy carpet, and the greens were extraordinarily beautiful and well maintained.
The special challenge on the pitch as a whole is less the overall layout itself, but rather the rather lush and much distributed bunkers to defend the greens.
All in all, a very very nice facility, which I highly recommend. I would love to come back!

Long lanes - magnificent views
Reviewed August 24, 2017
The 18-hole championship course is characterized by many par 5-tracks and very nice long-distance views of the Swabian Alp. The terrain is slightly hilly. Because of the wide fairways and only minor water hazards (exception hole 17) the place is playable well. The area is quite new, but has a beautiful old tree at the edges. The place was in a good condition. The sign for the next tea is complete. The area was very well visited.
The reception was friendly. After the round you can sit comfortably on the terrace of the restaurant with a view of the practice ground and a pond with fountains.

Fun for Longhitter
Reviewed August 14, 2017
Well, it is known that this place has long, long runs. This is fun, the claim comes from the wild bunker landscapes, which are some greens in front. However, we found the place in spite of the fantastic distant view so to speak "boring", as we prefer places with (much) tree.

Perfect
Reviewed January 16, 2016
Width long, the philosophy of US golf courses modeled fairways, the longest in Baden-Württemberg, allowed a quiet dignified game of golf overlooking the entire Albtrauf from Burg Hohenzollern up over the Hohenneuffen partly to Göppingen...
The Golf Club is just 1.5 km from the university town of Tübingen...
By then a new clubhouse from circa May 2016 and a terrace overlooking the spot almost to Sigmaringen...
'played with lightweight stand bag in the sunshine on a sunny winter afternoon in the late afternoon at the towering snow clouds in... breathing in the mountain wind blew over the Swabian Alb and felt free as Alaska Jack. All seasons is a golf game in Club Schloss Kressbach a treat.

Rude Club members
Reviewed September 27, 2015
Noteworthy are the space improvements. Unfortunately, the joy is marred by rabid behavior of a self-appointed marshals, neither imagined nor could demonstrate its function. We have added committed a little etiquette mistakes. The Marshall but then showed a behavior that lacks any etiquette. Pity about this behavior. Thus visitors are deterred.

Fantastically
Reviewed October 23, 2013
We have played in glorious weather yesterday the place for the first time. A great very spacious place with sensational landscaped greens and permanent remote view Schwäbeische Alb.
There is nothing comparable in the Stuttgart area!
The greens are currently very slowly, but surely that is even better. Also, the financial statements on the small clubhouse terrace with good food and very friendly service made us very pleasantly surprised.

Comfortable atmosphere
Reviewed November 22, 2012
Okay, here it is not all done here and there is still gewerkelt, but you can see it!
In May 2013, the 18 hole championship course was opened, an indoor golf facility is being built and the clubhouse / restaurant is expanded.
The restaurant is under new management and has consistently recommended at fair prices.
Particularly noteworthy, however I find the striking nice, friendly atmosphere - both for the people of the club, as well as among golfers. We really like to go back and be able to Golfclub Schloss Kressbach only recommend!

Not fun
Reviewed August 31, 2012
The beautiful view of the Alps does not compensate the boring place. Like a highway. Without charm. After 9 hole no longer wants you.
Unfortunately, the temporary clubhouse is just as bland as the new place..
The Secretariat is also found no comfort here simply lack the professionalism.
On the court lacks the etiquette of many. With us, the 9-hole round took nearly 3 hours because many players have played on the court so incredibly bad. One wonders whether the've ever made a real handicap.
In the area there are many places that are beautiful. Rather spend a few more euros and play on a real course.

Dream location, space needs to be developed much
Reviewed August 9, 2012
Incomparable panoramic, practice facilities really extensive, but still quite bare and in full sun. Secretariat and restaurant very friendly.
Place well maintained but not very varied. In principle, large green hilly area on a high plateau. Insufficient planting between the fairways. Many bunkers but no other challenges. Ball wg loss. Wide fairways, no habitats, hardly roughs us not to worry almost zero water. Place is WAY too heavy rated. Can hardly be otherwise, that I play 42 points on some unknown place.

Test
Reviewed June 28, 2012
The tracks run like a highway, mostly flat and even back out again. 18 hole gibts only if you include the open space.
Charm has the 8th hole, there goes over a lake, unfortunately very carelessly applied as a water reservoir. The view of the escarpment is great, but the golfer looks but rather on its vicarious. Restaurant not tried, pro shop does not deserve the name. Staff was very friendly.

Because something is happening!
Reviewed July 16, 2011
This golf course is beautifully situated. But unfortunately he was not yet particularly demanding and the clubhouse is a pure compromise.
But now a lot does:
The clubhouse has been renovated and modernized and is very friendly Guided. A place where you enjoy spending time!
The new 18-hole course is finally no longer in the planning, but currently in the construction phase. Eroeffnung will be in April 2012. The new 18-hole course promises a real asset to the sport of golf in the region Vedas, ect with challenging greens, bunkers. The existing 9-hole course is to remain in its current form and is ideal for beginners / social golfer.
I also think the youth work, with weekly golf training for children from 6 years.

This golf club is an upcoming giant!
Reviewed March 23, 2011
We were pleasantly surprised when we visited the golf club lock Kressbach, the energy and optimism prevails here.
By now incipient space expansion, the plant will also meet golfers with a higher skill level. The space concept is very attractive and promises fine golf enjoyment.
Made available to the 9-hole course, families and recreational athletes, in consequence of this circle certainly make the golf club a few new members.
So, our conclusion:
Here is something great will develop and we are pleased to be already at it.

Only for beginners
Reviewed September 15, 2010
This golf club is like a carnival.
People play back and forth, it can happen that suddenly someone 'against' them play, ie in the opposite direction.
It is only for beginners so "FUN and play" for the family to heruntoben and run back and forth, so playing is really difficult. not really. The greens are no different than a shorter cut fairway, putt is not really possible.
The 18 hole course is promised again and again... for how long?
Too bad it's a nice area, but only with promises and doing nothing man can not lead a golf club.
