Course Intelligence
Course Character
The wide natural setting rewards steady positioning and course care; marked roads, biotopes and protected trees are the key rules-related features to identify before play.

The official local rules add several practical boundary, ecology and pace-of-play considerations. A quiet, expansive 18-hole course embedded in the Upper Swabian landscape.
Major Risks
Protected areas Biotopes and no-play zones can remove the direct line and require rule-based relief. Boundary holes Out of bounds affects holes 9, 10 and 13–18, including roads and paths on 17 and 18.
