Golfclub Hummelbachaue (9 Loch Platz)

Overview: The short-course routing at Hummelbachaue uses water, bunkers and changing hole lengths to create a more substantial test than its compact label suggests. It is set in a green, open landscape near Neuss, with the hazards doing much of the work of the strategy and the final score depending on reliable wedge play.

Did You Know? The club’s own scorecard describes a nine-hole course of about 4,970 metres from the yellow tees and par 70. The directory row currently carries an 18-hole value, so the short-course identity should be checked before the record is finalised.
