There is a special feature in Eichenried: our 27-hole course is only played around the BMW International Open in the original combination of holes, known as the Old Course. Otherwise we are very lucky to be able to play 3 x 9 holes. When the “old” championship course is set, the otherwise closed hole 17, the so-called Sleeping Beauty Hole, comes into play. This par 3 with the lake aka swimming pond is the venue for the hole-in-one competition during the BMW International Open. It is a special pleasure to tee off here and maybe score a birdie. We hope to see many more birdies – our own and those of players at the BMW International Open on our golf course!

From 1989 to 2002, there was only one, the 18-hole championship course designed by Kurt Roßknecht. Since 2002, Munich Eichenried Golf Club has had 27 holes. The course extension was also designed by golf course architect Kurt Roßknecht, in such a way that all three 9-hole loops end comfortably at the clubhouse. This required a specific routing and thus an “interlocking” of some old holes with the new ones on the B and C loops. The A loop remained untouched.

But the BMW International Open is all about going “back to the roots”, i.e. playing a sequence of holes like in the early years. But now nothing is the same as it used to be: every year the course is improved and adapted to modern requirements. This means that the fairways have long since been lengthened, because for many years the course was considered too easy. That is history. After the renovation of the greens in 2019, these slightly undulating, lightning-fast professional greens are among the best in Germany and are highly praised by the professionals.
