Golf Nippenburg, Golf course in Schwieberdingen, Germany.
Golf Nippenburg is an 18-hole, par-71 course of 6,154 metres on 90 hectares of former farmland at the northwestern edge of Stuttgart, next to Nippenburg castle. Bernhard Langer planned the layout, opened in 1995. A two-storey driving range, putting and chipping greens and three practice bunkers accompany the course, and the clubhouse's white tower is visible from afar.
The 90-hectare site, previously farmland, was converted into a golf course in 1995; Bernhard Langer planned the 6,154-metre, par-71 layout. From 1995 to 1997 the course hosted the German Open, each edition worth nearly two million marks. Colin Montgomerie won in 1995, Ian Woosnam in 1996 and Ignacio Garrido in 1997.
The club's logo shows an open eagle in flight on a blue field with two goblets, taken from the coat of arms of the Lords of Nippenburg, whose ruined castle and manor house stand beside the course. The public restaurant in the main building is open to visitors beyond the golfers.
