Golfland Chiemsee

No. 1 Top places & top hotels

The golf courses are located around Lake Chiemsee on the edge of the Bavarian Alps. Sometimes flat, sometimes hilly, always perfectly manicured fairways, blossoming fruit trees, small lakes and old trees make the game an exquisite pleasure for the eye. The view of the peaks of the Chiemgau mountains is a constant companion with every tee shot. Some courses are located in a valley and are surrounded by mountains on three sides. Awards such as "Leading Golf Courses Germany" or "Golf & Nature" in gold emphasise the high quality and make the "Golfland Chiemsee" attractive for even the most discerning golfers. Professional golf lessons, handicap courses and taster sessions are just as standard as a high-quality catering offer after or during the round.

After a coffee and straight to the first tee - this is an option that many golf fans appreciate on holiday. DAS ACHENTAL in Grassau and Gut Ising have their own hotel facilities. Exclusive chalets and three and four-star superior hotels, some with their own lake access and spacious spa area, provide a high level of comfort for discerning golf guests.

Frank Saeger, spokesman for Golfland Chiemsee: "In terms of quality and number of golf courses, Golfland Chiemsee offers an unrivalled range of facilities in Germany. A real flagship for the region!"

TO THE GOLF HOTELS

No. 2 Steckerlfisch & star cuisine

In the evening, the hotel's own restaurants invite you to enjoy fine dining. With three Michelin stars, the ES:SENZ in Grassau has established itself at the forefront of regional gastronomy. The Landgasthof Karner in Frasdorf also has a Michelin star. The Gut Steinbach in Reit im Winkl, the Unternberghof in Ruhpolding, the Landhaus Tanner in Waging, the Yachthotel in Prien and the Hotel Gut Ising also operate hotel restaurants at a high level. The region is also known for its hearty cuisine, often centred around fresh fish from Lake Chiemsee. The traditional Chiemsee fish "Müllerin style" or fillet reveals the pure flavour of the region. If you prefer a more rustic flavour, choose the "Steckerlfisch" option, which is available in the fish huts around the lake.

STAR CUISINE UP CLOSE

No. 3 Highly attractive holiday and leisure region

The golf courses are embedded in a holiday region that leaves nothing to be desired. Unspoilt nature with hiking trails, alpine pastures, a well-developed cycle network, monasteries, beer gardens and sights are the reason why Chiemgau has been one of the most popular holiday regions in Germany for decades. The Chiemsee islands attract visitors all year round with their magnificent castle, cathedral, Chiemsee Painters' Gallery and the lush herb garden of Frauenwörth Monastery. The diversity of the region with its vibrant cultural life from traditional costume festivals to classical music festivals - this is what fascinates visitors to Chiemgau.
