About this course
Golfclub über den Dächern von Passau sits on elevated terrain in Freinberg, just across the Austrian border from the Bavarian city of Passau. The course was designed by Franz Schraml senior, an Austrian architect who worked on several regional layouts in the late twentieth century. The club's name, which translates to "above the rooftops of Passau," reflects its hillside setting overlooking the historic city where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers converge. The routing takes advantage of the sloping topography characteristic of this part of Upper Austria, where the Bavarian Forest transitions into the Danube valley. Players encounter elevation changes and views across the border landscape, with the course laid out across terrain that offers both open and wooded sections. The design reflects the practical approach common to Austrian golf courses of its era, balancing playability for members with the natural challenges presented by the site's contours. The club serves golfers from both Austria and nearby Bavaria, drawing members from the cross-border region around Passau. Its location makes it accessible to the city while maintaining a more rural character typical of courses built on hillside land outside urban centers. The facility operates as a traditional member club with visitor access, consistent with the golf culture of smaller Austrian clubs in the border regions.

Getting there
The journey to Golfclub über den Dächern von Passau typically begins at Salzburg Airport (SZG), roughly ninety minutes west through the rolling hills of Upper Austria, or Munich Airport (MUC), a similar distance to the northwest. The drive from either gateway traces the Inn River valley, where alpine foothills gradually give way to the gentler, forested ridges above the tri-border region where Austria meets Germany and the Czech Republic. As you climb toward Freinberg, the road narrows and winds upward through dense woodland, the canopy breaking occasionally to reveal glimpses of the Danube and Inn confluence far below - a fitting prelude to a club whose name promises golf quite literally above the rooftops of historic Passau.
