Golf d'Ammerschwihr
The final track of the three that I played was set among the rolling hills and vineyards of Ammerschwihr in the heart of the Alsace region. You drive through so many vineyards to get to Golf d’ Ammerschwihr I was worried I would be polluting future bottles of wine!!!
Here is another clubhouse veranda where you can enjoy a meal while watching golfers come down the beautiful par 4 378 yd 9th hole with its undulating fairway and long tricky green. For a municipal track it’s in great condition and if you can pull your eyes away from the beautiful scenery there are some spectacular golf holes to enjoy.
The rollercoaster par 5, 3rdTight tee shot on the 7th Looking back on the Par 3 13th
The par 5 507 yd 3rd is a very tough hole with a blind tee shot to a sloping fairway, the much photographed 162 yd par 3 5th from its elevated tee across water. Make sure you get your choice of club right here. You will enjoy the run of holes from the 8th through to the 17th, this track is all about position from the tee.
Taking into account all the undulations and rolling fairways, apart from the tees I am not sure there’s a flat lie on this track.
If you love your food and wine as much as you enjoy a good game of golf at some very scenic golf courses, with empty fairways and where golf course etiquette still means something, then golf amongst the vineyards of Alsace should be your next destination.
