Golfclub Munchen Eichenried: 2026 Access and Booking Update
Germany's most televised course is back in the spotlight for 2026, with the BMW International Open returning to Golfclub Munchen Eichenried from 1 to 5 July. Here is where the course stands this season, when the tour comes to town, and how to play it.
The news: the BMW International Open returns for 2026
The headline for Eichenried in 2026 is the one that has defined the club for more than three decades. The BMW International Open, the only DP World Tour event staged in Germany, returns to Golfclub Munchen Eichenried from 1 to 5 July 2026, the thirty seventh edition of a tournament BMW has backed since 1989. For golf travellers it is the week the course is at its sharpest and the atmosphere at its best, and tickets and hospitality go on sale well ahead.
Nothing about the course itself has changed for the new season. Eichenried remains the parkland test that German fans know better than any other, twenty minutes north east of Munich, and its place on the professional calendar keeps it among the most recognisable rounds in the country.
The course German golf knows best
Kurt Rossknecht laid out Eichenried in 1989 on the flat Bavarian farmland, and his Championship course plays as a par 72 of around 7,350 yards from the back tees. It is not a dramatic site, but it is a thorough one: water comes into play across several holes, the trees have matured into real definition, and the bunkering is shaped to demand position off the tee rather than raw power.
The club runs further holes alongside the Championship eighteen, so a visit can be built around a warm up loop before the main event. The clubhouse and practice facilities are geared for tournament golf, which is part of what makes a round here feel like playing a stage the tour knows intimately.
How to play it in 2026
Eichenried is a members club that welcomes visiting golfers outside tournament periods, with advance booking essential and a handicap certificate generally expected. Published green fees vary by day and season and rise around the BMW week, so the most reliable approach is to confirm current rates and tee time availability directly with the club before you travel.
The German season runs from spring through to autumn, with the stretch from May to September the most settled. If you want to watch the tour, plan around the 1 to 5 July dates and book accommodation in or near Munich early, as the city fills for the event. If you want to play the course in quieter conditions, the shoulder weeks of late spring and early autumn are the calmer windows.
Our take
Our take is that Eichenried earns a place on a Bavaria itinerary for its pedigree as much as its golf. The flat parkland will not overwhelm anyone used to dunes or mountains, but the chance to play a genuine DP World Tour venue, on ground the best in Europe contest every summer, is the draw.
If you are planning a 2026 Munich trip, decide first whether you want to spectate or play. Build a spectating trip around the July tournament dates and a playing trip around the quieter shoulder weeks, confirm the season rates directly, and pair Eichenried with the lake and country courses within easy reach of the city.
