Leave A35 just south of Strasbourg centre at exit 5 direction Baggersee / Illkirch North. Follow Illkirch, but at traffic lights follow direction Strasbourg Neuhof, rather than Illkirch-centre. Follow this road for approximately .4 km until roundabout at which golf is indicated. Immediately after roundabout take a very sharp right turn to golf.

Golf Club Strasbourg: This is the the oldest golf club around Strasbourg (by quite a big margin), however the splendour of the original setting has been slightly compromised by modern road developments and electricity distribution.
However, a bit of traffic noise and a few unsightly pylons should not rule out spending some enjoyable hours playing the Red-White-Yellow combinations of this 27-hole layout. Although the White-Red combination is apparently used for major competitions, the White-Yellow combination seems to fit together the best and involves 18-holes in a relatively open and flattish landscape.
Water is only a factor on a few holes on the White course, but also comes into play on the much tigther and more tree-lined Red course (which occupies its own small domaine across the road). Definitely deserving a special mention are the greens - large, fast and true - a great place to put your putting to the test.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; no outside visitors on weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: 35. Proof of handicap required.

Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
