Golf Club Hubbelrath
Bernhard von Limburger routed the East course at Hubbelrath in 1964 across the hills east of Düsseldorf, a championship parkland long rated among the best in Germany. A par 72 of about 6,312 yards, it pairs with a shorter West course at one of the country's most respected members clubs.

The verdict
Land und Golf Club Düsseldorf Hubbelrath dates to the 1960s, and its East course, laid out by the great German architect Bernhard von Limburger and opened in 1964, has long stood among the finest inland courses in the country. It rolls over wooded, gently hilly terrain a short drive east of Düsseldorf, a serious members club with a championship pedigree and a long tournament history.
The golf is classic continental parkland, tree lined and subtly contoured, where von Limburger's routing uses the slopes to test the long game and the greens reward a controlled approach. A second, shorter West course completes the property. For a traveling golfer touring the Rhineland or routing through Düsseldorf on business, the East course at Hubbelrath is the round to seek out.

The holes worth the trip
The East course at Hubbelrath is a study in von Limburger's strategic style, the fairways threading through mature woodland on rolling ground where the slopes shape every tee shot. Accuracy off the tee is prized, with the trees and contours punishing the wayward drive.
The greens are firm and cleverly set, asking for controlled approaches and a steady touch, and the routing uses the hills to vary the demands hole by hole. The shorter West course offers a gentler alternative, but the East is the championship test the club is known for.
The closing holes climb and fall through the timber back toward the clubhouse, the bunkering tightening the lines and the greens demanding precise pace. Hubbelrath rewards the thoughtful, accurate player, a classic inland round to anchor a Rhineland golf day.
