GOLFCLUB MUNCHEN EICHENRIED
🇩🇪 Eichenried, Bavaria, DE
Designed by Kurt Rossknecht
Golfclub München Eichenried sits in the Bavarian countryside northeast of Munich, designed by German architect Kurt Rossknecht and opened in 1989. The course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the region, with mature trees—particularly the oaks referenced in its name—defining many holes and creating tree-lined corridors throughout the layout. Water features, including ponds and streams, come into play on several holes, adding strategic interest to what might otherwise be straightforward parkland golf.
The course gained international prominence when it hosted the BMW International Open on the European Tour for many years, bringing professional tournament golf to the Munich area and establishing Eichenried as one of Germany's more recognized championship venues. The tournament history has influenced the course setup, with length and conditioning standards befitting professional play while remaining accessible to members and visitors.
Rossknecht's design emphasizes accuracy over pure distance, with the tree placement and water hazards rewarding thoughtful course management. The layout features a mix of hole lengths and shapes, with doglegs requiring positional play off the tee. The greens are generally well-bunkered and moderately contoured, consistent with European parkland design of the era.
The club serves as a significant golfing destination in the Munich metropolitan area, offering facilities that reflect its tournament pedigree while maintaining a membership-focused operation. The Bavarian setting provides a pastoral backdrop distinct from links or heathland environments found elsewhere in European golf.
