Golf und Country Club Hittnau-Zürich

Golf und Country Club Hittnau-Zürich sits in the rolling countryside of the Zürcher Oberland, roughly twenty-five kilometers east of Zurich. The course was designed by Bernhard von Limburger and Kurt Rossknecht, two figures associated with Swiss golf course architecture in the latter decades of the twentieth century. The layout occupies terrain typical of the region—gentle hills, mixed woodland, and agricultural land that transitions into a parkland-style golf setting. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with elevation changes that provide variety in stance and shot-making without becoming overly severe. Fairways move through corridors of mature trees, and water features appear on several holes, adding strategic interest. The design reflects a European sensibility common to courses built in this era, balancing playability for members with enough challenge to keep stronger players engaged. Hittnau serves primarily as a members' club, drawing golfers from the Zurich metropolitan area and surrounding communities. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports the social and dining traditions typical of Swiss country clubs. The course remains a regional fixture in the canton's golf landscape, offering a parkland experience within convenient reach of the city.
