6 Loch Academy at Golfpark Otelfingen

The 6 Loch Academy at Golfpark Otelfingen serves as the facility's short course, designed by Swiss architect Kurt Rossknecht. Located in Otelfingen, a municipality in the canton of Zurich northwest of the city center, the course occupies terrain characteristic of the Swiss Plateau, where the landscape transitions from the urban fringe into agricultural and wooded countryside. Golfpark Otelfingen operates as a public-access facility, and the academy course functions primarily as a training ground for beginners and a practice venue for experienced players working on specific aspects of their game.

The six-hole layout provides abbreviated holes that allow golfers to play full shots in a compressed routing. Rossknecht's design reflects the practical demands of a teaching facility, with holes that present common strategic situations—approach angles, greenside bunkers, and varied distances—without the length or difficulty of championship layouts. The course integrates into the broader practice infrastructure at Otelfingen, which includes a driving range and short-game areas, creating a comprehensive environment for instruction and skill development.

The facility's location in the Zurich region positions it within one of Switzerland's more densely populated areas, where golf courses often serve both recreational and instructional purposes for a broad demographic. The academy course allows players to experience on-course play in a format that requires less time and physical demand than a full eighteen-hole round, making it accessible for juniors, beginners, and golfers seeking efficient practice sessions.
