Dieser ist zweigeteilt durch eine Straße, die mit einer Brücke verbunden ist. Diese Anlage wirkt auf den ersten Blick etwas abgewohnt. Rezeption freundlich, aber nicht herzlich. Tokens und Signature Ball vorhanden. Kleiner Golfshop. Diesmal hatten wir kein Cart, würde hier nichts bringen, da man am Weg bleiben muss und es keine langen Verbindungswege zum nächsten Loch gibt. Wetter 17 Grad, windstill, bewölkt. Die Bahnen liegen in einer außergewöhnlich schönen Parklandschaft mit vielen alten Bäumen und mit kleinen Seen. Die Bahnen verlaufen oft gegenläufig, sind aber durch Baumreihen gut geschützt. Der Zustand des Rasens der Fairways war ausgezeichnet, keine Flecken alles grün. Da es Sonntag war, gab es auch keinen Baulärm der sicherlich - an einer Stelle ist eine Großbaustelle - sein kann, bei unserer Runde war Ruhe, man hörte nur die Vögel zwitschern. Die Bahnen sind meist nicht allzu lang, so gibt es zB ein Par4 mit 222m gelb. Im Allgemeinen sind die Löcher gut zu spielen. Einige sind Bergab-Abschläge, die viel Spaß machen. Es gibt kein Rough und fast nirgendwo ein Aus. Dadurch ist allgemein ein sehr guter Spielfluss zu erreichen, wir hatten nur kurze Wartezeiten. Einige Abschläge sind von gelb allerdings eng und erlauben keinen Spielraum, da hier nebenan Aus ist, weil dort Häuser stehen. Rot ist oft weit voraus – kürzer – bis max 110m. Die Grüns sind sehr gut zu spielen, langsam und meist eben bis ganz leicht onduliert. Alle Fahnen in der Mitte. Insgesamt hatten wir im Platz- Vergleich zu Österreich eine Mischung aus Wienerberg und Klopeinersee. Auf den zweiten 9 war es aus meiner Sicht leichter, subjektiv vielleicht, weil 6 Pars.
