Golf Club Feldafing

Overview: Golf Club Feldafing occupies a rare lakeside setting on the western shore of Lake Starnberg, where a lightly undulating park and mature trees create a quiet, classical golf environment. Bernhard von Limburger’s design uses the existing terrain rather than imposing a heavily engineered shape. The holes move through open grassy spaces and wooded sections, with the changing views and small shifts in elevation giving the course its rhythm. It is a strategic parkland round in which placement and patience are more valuable than constant aggression.

History: Feldafing was founded in 1926 and remains one of the historic courses in Bavaria. The club’s anniversary brochure identifies Bernhard von Limburger as the designer and records the 18-hole course as having opened in 1926. Its setting is closely linked to the landscape around Lake Starnberg and to the long tradition of golf at the former royal and aristocratic estates of the region.

Did You Know? The club’s own anniversary material calls the course Königlich Golfen am Starnberger See. The phrase reflects the setting: the round combines a mature park, lake views and an atmosphere that feels more like a historic landscape garden than a purpose-built resort.
