18-loch Course
Golfclub Obere Alp
About this course
Golfclub Obere Alp sits in the rolling countryside near Stühlingen in Baden-Württemberg, close to the Swiss border in Germany's southern Black Forest region. Designed by Karl F. Grohs, the course occupies terrain characteristic of this transitional zone between the Black Forest highlands and the upper Rhine valley, where gentle hills and agricultural land meet forested edges. The layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes and the open pastoral landscape that defines this corner of southwestern Germany. Grohs, a German architect active in the latter decades of the twentieth century, designed numerous courses across Germany and neighboring countries, typically working with the existing topography rather than imposing dramatic earthworks. His layouts tend to emphasize strategic variety and playability across different skill levels. At Obere Alp, the routing likely incorporates the natural contours of the land, with holes moving through a mix of open meadow and wooded sections that provide both visual definition and wind protection. The club serves the local golfing community in the Hochrhein region, drawing members from both the German side and nearby Swiss towns. The setting offers views toward the surrounding hills and, on clear days, distant Alpine peaks to the south. The course provides a regional golf experience reflective of southern German club culture, where the game fits into a broader tradition of outdoor recreation and community gathering in a landscape shaped by centuries of agriculture and forestry.

Getting there
The journey to Golfclub Obere Alp begins most commonly at Zurich Airport (ZRH), just over an hour's drive north through the rolling farmland and forested hills of the Swiss-German borderlands. The route traces the upper Rhine valley before turning into the quieter reaches of Baden-Wurttemberg, where the landscape opens into high pastures and the first glimpses of the Swabian Jura. As the road climbs gently toward Stuehlingen, the modern autobahn gives way to narrow country lanes, and the final approach reveals the club perched on its elevated plateau - a serene, almost alpine setting that feels worlds removed from the bustle of the city left behind.
