Very nice Swabian Alb track drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 2, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

+Beautiful setting on the rolling hills of the Swabian Jura, about 30 min south of the Stuttgart airport. Plays through gorgeous meadows and forests.

+A lot of good hole designs with a mixture of shots. Holes #3, 3c, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 16 are particularly fun to play.

+Decent signs and good baskets. Tee pads used to be a major issue outside of dry summer months, but recent addition of turf on almost all tees has made this MUCH better.

+20 holes (although #18 is so rarely played due to being awful).

Cons:

-They have the space to make some par 4's and 5's but didn't do it. Kind of a shame. A little bit of a rework could see this space easily have a 4.0 or 4.5-worthy course.

-18 is a god-awful hole - horrendous tee pad (if you can even call it that), plays up a busy park road, tons of stinging nettles on the hillside that aren't present on the rest of the course, and a basket that just isn't reachable for anyone other than Eagle McMahon.

-A few filler holes - 4, 6 (somewhat), and 7 - but they still present interesting challenges. None of them are particularly easy birdies. But with how much space and awesome terrain they have to work with, it sucks that they have *any* filler holes to begin with.

Other Thoughts:

My recommended 18 (option on UDisc): play holes 1-3, 3d, 3c, and 4. Then combine 5 and 6 into a par 4 (5's tee to 6's basket). Then play 7-17 as normal. Skip 18. That's an 18-hole par 55. Frequently used in the club monthlies.

Use the second entrance if you're coming from Eningen (go past the Waldkindergarten). You'll drive just past 1's tee and 17's basket and then park in the shade.

They frequently close a couple of holes at a time in the summer to mow the lawn with sheep. Just be prepared.
