Golfclub München Eichenried
Twenty minutes north east of Munich, Eichenried is the course German golf fans know best, the longtime home of the BMW International Open. Kurt Roßknecht's parkland layout is flat, fair and quietly demanding, and in tournament trim it tests the DP World Tour.

The verdict
Golfclub München Eichenried opened in 1989 and has hosted the BMW International Open for most years since, making it one of the most televised courses in Germany. Kurt Roßknecht designed a par 72 that stretches to about 7,350 yards on the Championship course, a parkland test laid across the Bavarian flatland with water, mature trees and well shaped bunkering.
It is not a dramatic site, but it is a thoroughly good golf course, with a strong closing stretch and greens that hold up to professional scrutiny. For the visiting golfer it offers the chance to play a familiar DP World Tour venue near a great city, with three nines in total giving plenty of variety.

Design history, par and yardage verified June 2026 from course and tour sources. The Championship course at Eichenried plays to par 72 over about 7,350 yards. Green fees vary by day and season and the club publishes current visitor rates, so always confirm directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
Water is the defining hazard, in play on a number of holes and decisive down the closing stretch where the tournament is often settled. Accuracy off the tee and a calm short game matter more than length for most visitors.
The Championship eighteen combines the strongest nines, and the par 4 and par 5 finishers reward bold but precise play. The trees and lakes give the flat ground definition, and the conditioning is consistently high.
Play it from sensible tees and it is an enjoyable, fair examination; from the back markers in wind it bares its teeth. A round here pairs perfectly with a couple of days in Munich.
