Course Report
Golfclub München Eichenried hosts the annual BMW International Open, making it one of Germany’s most high-profile tournament venues.
About
Golfclub München Eichenried, designed by Kurt Rossknecht, is a renowned parkland layout near Munich. The club features 27 championship holes regularly hosting the BMW International Open, as well as extensive practice facilities and a reputation for tournament-level conditioning. Its classic routing, variety, and quality make it a staple in European tournament golf.
Caddie Tip
Water hazards and numerous strategic bunkers make club selection crucial, especially with wind as a factor. The greens are fast and true—prioritize positioning below the hole on approaches, and pay special attention to tricky pin locations, especially during tournament setups. Take time to read greens carefully.
The Main Challenge
The course's challenge lies in its length, strategic bunkering, and penal water hazards that come into play on many holes. Fast greens and demanding approach shots, particularly under tournament setups, require precision and good course management. The finishing stretch can be especially daunting in competition.
The Good
Golfers love the tournament atmosphere and the consistently exceptional conditioning of both greens and fairways. The variety of 27 holes allows for different combinations and fresh experiences even for regular visitors, and the welcoming attitude toward non-members is highly praised.
The Not So Good
Some find the flat topography uninspiring and wish for greater elevation changes or more distinctive natural features. During peak times, the course can become crowded, occasionally leading to longer rounds. Weekend green fees are relatively high for the region.
