The Golf Clubs
LE KEMPFERHOF GOLF CLUB
Scottish or Irish golf courses. The Rot course retains much of the original river wetland, ensuring that the course offers not only charming scenery but also presents special challenges. The island green of the Rot course and the island fairway of the St. Leon course are the signature holes of the club.
Jakobsberg Golf Club
Set high above the Lorelei valley in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, deservedly a UNESCO World Heritage Region, the Jakobsberg Golf Resort boasts a truly majestic setting. The 18-hole golf course is nestled between forests and vineyards and was built by Wolfgang Jarsombek, who based his design on a model by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. The course serves as a 3rd level tour venue. The strongly modelled fairways each feature four different teeing grounds, as well as large bunkers, water hazards and undulating greens. The course is sporting but fair and you may find that your greatest golfing challenge at the Jakobsberg Golf Resort will be not to get distracted by the views of the Lorelei valley and Marksburg castle.
GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB VELDERHOF
The Velderhof Golf Club extends over an idyllic and tranquil lowland surrounded by extensive forests. The championship course provides suitable challenges for players of all handicap levels. The 27 holes stretch over 3 courses, with 9-hole and 18-hole options. The golf course follows the ancient lines originally carved into the landscape by the Rhine River. It features fast greens, wide fairways, well-placed fairway bunkers and water hazards, all surrounded by picturesque streams and biotopes. The driving range features brand-new grass tees which extend over 2,500m² in front of the range.
