GOLFCLUB MUNCHEN EICHENRIED
🇩🇪 Eichenried, Bavaria, DE
Designed by Kurt Rossknecht
Golfclub München Eichenried's A-B combination draws from the club's championship layout designed by Kurt Rossknecht and opened in 1989. Located in Eichenried, roughly 30 kilometers northeast of Munich, the course occupies relatively flat Bavarian terrain that Rossknecht shaped into a strategic test through extensive earthmoving, water features, and mature tree plantings. The design reflects late-1980s European championship golf architecture, with broad fairways, substantial bunkering, and water hazards that demand precise shot placement.
The facility gained international prominence when it hosted the BMW International Open on the European Tour from 1990 through 2012, establishing Eichenried as one of Germany's most recognized tournament venues. The championship routing uses holes from the A and B nines in combination with the C nine, and the course has seen winners including John Daly, Mark McNulty, and multiple European stars. The layout's tournament pedigree means it plays to exacting standards, with firm putting surfaces and well-maintained conditioning year-round.
The A-B combination presents the core character of Rossknecht's design: strategic bunkering that frames landing areas, water hazards positioned to penalize wayward shots, and greens that reward accurate approach play. The relatively open landscape allows wind to influence play, and the mature tree-lined corridors now provide definition that was less pronounced in the course's early years. Eichenried operates as a private members' club with visiting play available, serving Munich's golfing community and maintaining its reputation as a serious championship test.
