Oberallgäu at Golf Resort Sonnenalp-Oberallgau - Golfplatze Oberallgau

Golf Resort Sonnenalp-Oberallgäu sits in the Allgäu Alps near Bolsterlang in southern Bavaria, positioned in one of Germany's most mountainous regions close to the Austrian border. Designed by Kurt Rossknecht, a German architect known for alpine and parkland courses across Bavaria and Austria, the layout takes advantage of the dramatic elevation changes and natural terrain characteristic of this high-altitude setting. The course occupies meadowland and forested slopes typical of the Allgäu, where traditional dairy farming and mountain scenery define the landscape.

The routing works with the natural topography, incorporating uphill and downhill holes that require careful club selection and an understanding of how the ball behaves at elevation. Players encounter a mix of open meadow holes with views toward the surrounding peaks and tighter, tree-lined sections where accuracy becomes essential. The design reflects Rossknecht's approach of integrating golf into the existing landscape rather than imposing artificial features, allowing the alpine environment to shape strategy and shot-making.

The resort serves both destination golfers visiting the Allgäu region and local members drawn to mountain golf. The area is known for its hiking, skiing, and outdoor recreation culture, and the course operates within a seasonal window typical of higher-elevation German courses. The combination of mountain air, varied terrain, and the visual backdrop of the Alps creates a distinct playing experience within the Bavarian golf landscape.
