About this course

Golfanlage Birkenhof is located in Kehl, a town in Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany near the Rhine and the French border. The facility operates as a public-access golf complex rather than a private members' club, making it accessible to visiting golfers in the region. The course sits within the relatively flat Rhine valley landscape characteristic of this part of southwestern Germany, where gentle terrain and proximity to the river define the setting. The layout reflects the typical design approach for German public golf facilities developed in the late 20th century, with routing that accommodates players of varying skill levels. The course works within the local topography and vegetation of the Rhine valley, incorporating water features and tree-lined corridors common to courses in this region. The relatively open character of the surrounding countryside allows for views across the valley, though the immediate playing corridors are defined by mature trees and strategic bunkering. Birkenhof serves the local golfing community and visiting players traveling through the Rhine valley corridor. As a public facility, it functions as a regional venue for casual play and club competitions rather than as a tournament host for major championships. The course maintains the practical, straightforward design philosophy typical of German public courses, prioritizing playability and fair challenge over dramatic visual spectacle.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive via Strasbourg Airport (SXB) just across the French border, a compact international gateway less than twenty minutes from the club, though Baden Airpark (FKB) near Baden-Baden offers an alternative roughly an hour north. The drive to Golfanlage Birkenhof traces the Rhine corridor through the flat, fertile plains of the Upper Rhine Valley, where the river itself marks the invisible seam between France and Germany. Kehl sits directly opposite Strasbourg's historic center, and the final approach to Birkenhof unfolds through quiet residential lanes and farmland on the German side, a serene prelude to a layout shaped by the region's gentle topography and cross-border character.
