Elmpter Wald Golf Club, Golf course in Niederkrüchten, Germany.
Elmpter Wald Golf Club is a golf course built on the grounds of a former British air base, spanning 76 hectares with tree-lined paths, water features, and sand bunkers distributed throughout. The layout combines open fairways with wooded sections and natural elevation changes.
The Royal Air Force established this course in 1954 as a recreation facility for military personnel stationed on the base. The shift to civilian management came in 2015, opening the grounds to the general public.
The clubhouse design reflects its British military origins and creates a sense of connection to the past. Visitors walking through the grounds encounter this heritage in the architecture and layout of the facility.
The sandy soil composition allows play throughout the year in most weather conditions and even during wetter months. It is wise to reserve in advance and check current conditions and any access requirements before visiting.
The club offers the option to play with traditional hickory golf clubs, allowing visitors to experience the sport as it was played decades ago. This choice connects modern golf to historical playing traditions.
