Introduction
Nestled deep in the mountains, Germany is often described as a course full of tree jails and hard putts. Navigating this course can require a great deal of course knowledge, and its varied and strong hills are a challenge for all golfers. In match play, the course offers no real advantage for any golfer, the extended distance that the power golfers afford do not give them any more opportunities for eagles than the rest of the cast. The course features conifer trees, with thick bodies.
