Golfclub Ravensburg

Golfclub Ravensburg's 18-hole championship course sits in the rolling countryside of Upper Swabia, north of Lake Constance in Baden-Württemberg. Designed by Reinhold Weishaupt, a German architect active in the latter decades of the twentieth century, the layout reflects the regional approach to parkland golf common in southern Germany, where courses often integrate mature woodland, agricultural land transitions, and moderate elevation changes characteristic of the pre-Alpine moraine landscape. The course occupies terrain shaped by glacial activity, with fairways routed through mixed deciduous and coniferous forest and across open meadowland. Water features and natural drainage patterns typical of the region come into play on several holes. The design balances accessibility for club members with enough length and strategic interest to host regional amateur competitions, a common programming goal for German member clubs of this era. Ravensburg itself is a medieval market town known for its preserved tower gates and historic center, and the club serves both local membership and visitors exploring the Bodensee golf corridor. The clubhouse and practice facilities support a traditional member-focused culture typical of German golf clubs, where social continuity and family participation are central to club life. The course provides a representative example of German parkland golf in a region where the sport expanded significantly during the late twentieth century.
