Golf & Country Club de Bâle

Golf & Country Club de Bâle sits in Hagenthal-le-Bas, a commune in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace, just across the Swiss border from Basel. The course was designed by Bernhard von Limburger, a German architect active in the mid-twentieth century who created several layouts in the border regions of France, Germany, and Switzerland. The club serves a cross-border membership drawn from the Basel metropolitan area, reflecting the region's multilingual character and the practical reality that the nearest quality golf for Swiss players often lies just beyond their own borders. The Alsatian landscape here offers gently rolling terrain with views toward the Jura foothills. Von Limburger's routing takes advantage of the natural contours and incorporates mature trees that frame fairways and define strategic choices from the tee. The course provides a traditional parkland experience characteristic of continental European golf from this era, with an emphasis on accurate placement rather than overwhelming length. The club maintains a quiet, regional profile, serving local golfers rather than pursuing tournament hosting or international recognition. Its location makes it a convenient option for visitors to Basel seeking a round outside the city, and the Alsatian setting offers a distinct sense of place compared to courses on the Swiss side of the border.
