You’ll find two of Europe’s most stunning golf courses high in the Bavarian Alps – both within easy reach of Karma Bavaria…
Golfers looking for elegantly designed yet challenging courses in a bucolic highland setting will find the Bavarian Alps tough to match. The Sound of Music was shot in these mountains and the fairways of the Schloss Maxlrain and Mangfalltal golf courses might well have you breaking into songs of your own!
Occupying the sprawling 19th century grounds of a Renaissance castle, the Schloss Maxlrain course actually recalls the English countryside, with gnarled oaks fringing fairways and a medley of ponds, woods and watercourses that perfectly fit the landscape whilst offering a sporty challenge to both bogey players and those with a single digit handicap.
Meanwhile, the Golf Club at Mangfalltal is ensconced in the picturesque Mangfall Valley south of Munich. Built around a 19th century farmhouse, the expansive, rolling grounds offer a relatively gentle first nine out in the open, before posing some tactical challenges with a more intricate back nine. Wrap things up at the eighteenth and hit the restaurant for some well earned Bavarian beer quite possibly accompanied by Mangfall’s much loved zither-player Vastl.
Our award-winning resort Karma Bavaria is within easy reaching distance of both these courses, offering the perfect base for your Bavarian golfing holiday. It’s also breathtakingly beautiful, set on the shores of Lake Schliersee at the foot of the precipitous Wendelstein mountains.
Accommodation ranges from self contained apartments to bright, cosy hotel rooms. Apres-golf runs from indulgent spa treatments to contemporary German cuisine built around Bavarian flavours like venison, rabbit and lake trout as well as locally grown produce.
On off-days, explore the markets and beer gardens of Munich, home to the ‘Big Six’ breweries, baroque churches, parks and platzes. Through the spring and summer, the Alpine valleys are blanketed in swathes of flowers and there are great walks to be had beyond your regular treks to the greens. Golf lover or not, what are you waiting for?!
