Munchen Nord-Eichenreid.

This week’s BMW International Open will, once more, be played at Golfclub Munchen Nord-Eichenreid.
This week’s prestigious BMW International Open will once more, as it has since 1989, be played at leading German golf establishment Golfclub Munchen Nord-Eichenreid.
The creation of German golf courser designer Kurt Robknecht, Eichenried, which is just 20 minutes from the Munich city centre and 11 minutes from the airport, was originally established in 1989 as an 18-hole championship course, but has subsequently been expanded and since 2002 has been able to offer 27 holes with a large number of playing options
All three nine-hole loops start and end conveniently at the clubhouse and are playable in different combinations.
The terrain covers a total of 1.35 million sq metres.
Its fairways are all long and flat, boasting both old and mature trees and large numbers of water hazards varying from brooks to ponds, all edged with dry stone walls to make the approach to the greens more difficult.
Over the years, a number of new bunkers have been added, and the course has been adapted continually to meet the latest requirements of modern technology and golf course maintenance.
All in all, the course, which is always in outstanding condition, calls for both technical and tactical versatility from players hoping for success in such events as the BMW International Open.
The 27-hole course is suitable for players with handicaps of 36 or better, and only soft spikes or rubber-studded shoes are allowed.
COURSE FEATURES:
– Depending on the combination of holes used, the championship course of Eichenried carries a par-73 or 74 and has a course rating of between 128 and 134
– The golfing complex also includes a 6-hole mache course, a Golfing academy run by qualified professionals and practice facilities of the highest quality.
