The name "Gartengolf" (Garden Golf) is very apt for this course. There are no windmills or plastic houses to putt around--but there are lots of pretty trees and flowers scattered around the course.
It is really a pleasant and soothing little place out on the edge of town. We enjoy getting out in the fresh air and being able to have some fun without going far and for very little cost. All four of us can play a round (18 holes) for under 10 Euro.
The only issue we sometimes have is that smoking is allowed. The places is so casual that if we end up with smokers playing near us, we just take a break and have an ice cream or drink and then pick up where we left off after the smoke has cleared.
We were lucky to have no issues with smoke today, but Rio still needed an ice cream after we played.
One of the little things that amuses me is that if the weather is nice they open three hours earlier than normal on both Saturdays (as shown) and school holidays (I didn't bother to photograph both signs). There is no specific criteria that defines "nice weather" but any time we have ever felt like it was a good day to play, they have been open for us.
This is the kind of locally owned place where the owners comment on how much Rio has grown at the start of each season, and remember to ask after Marika when she is not there. All in all a very nice little outing. One of the most amazing things about living here is that we can have one lovely day after another without ever going any further than our bikes can take us!
