6-hole course
Short courses are a hit with families and working people!
Thanks to quick rounds and affordable annual/half-yearly membership deals. Perfect for new golfers: on the 6-hole course, you can play with a course permit, when accompanied by a golfer, or with the golf instructor’s approval. It’s also ideal for practising pitch and putt.
Course architect Kurt Rossknecht did not design the six holes solely for teaching purposes. They can also be used by experienced golfers. Although short, they are certainly challenging and match the quality of a tournament course. In terms of design and construction, it also matches the 9-hole main course; that is, all playing surfaces are equipped with a sprinkler system, the tees and greens have a sand base, and the same grass mixtures have been used. This allows golfers, for example, to combine the 9-hole course with the 6-hole course, or to play a practice round under identical conditions on the tees, greens and bunkers.
The 6 courses
The tee of the first hole is right next to the driving range. This means that the golf instructor can play a few practice holes with the student after the golf lesson without having to walk long distances or lose time. All holes are between 90 m and 130 m long. A greatly reduced set of clubs with short irons and putters is therefore sufficient.
Hole 1
The shortest hole of the 6-hole course requires a lot of concentration and skill due to the extremely short distance. The perfect approach shot is required! Do you start your pitch and putt round with a hole-in-one?
Hole 2
Again the shot goes downhill over a small stream, but it should not come into play. There are no other obstacles. The green is embedded in a slope. The chip onto the green is quite challenging, especially if the shot was too long.
Hole 3
From the tee, the course is slightly uphill. The green is defended by a bunker on the left. There is no danger on the right. Here, the player must decide how far to avoid the bunker and accept a longer and heavier second shot to the flag.
Hole 4
Two bunkers, one on the left and one on the right, defend the green. A beautiful lime tree to the left of the green characterises the appearance of this golf course.
Hole 5
From high tees, the course descends into a valley. The green lies to the left of a hut with a vegetable garden. Not a difficult hole, but due to the difference in altitude, the choice of club is not too easy.
Hole 6
Here you have to play over the stream again. However, it is not the problem, but the steep slope in front of the green. If the shot is too short, the ball can roll back or is difficult to hit cleanly because of the slope. After the 6th green, a path leads slightly uphill to tee 1 for a second round or directly to the Gasthaus Badhof.
