Golf is Australia’s number one participant sport and more than 460,000 Aussies belong to a golf club. 1.3 million people or approximately 10% of the adult Australian population play golf. With more than 1,800 golf courses to choose from, the variety is staggering. Given the fact that this is such a huge country it’s quite amazing that the best Australian golf courses can be found in one small area of Melbourne, known simply as the Sand Belt.

WAGC GERMANY – RALPH BRAUN

Issera Sportmarketing

Much of the northern part of Germany has sandy soil, which is often protected from development, so only very few golf clubs have been able to build on those free draining sites. Instead, clay and trees dominate the German golf landscape and so the parkland style prevails. Towards the south the soil becomes heavier and, while the average architectural quality of the courses is comparable, the high end cannot hold a candle to the north.

History:
According to the German Golf Federation there are now 728 golf courses in the country serving almost 640,000 affiliated golfers. Golf is growing slowly in Germany, but it is still growing – although there are concerns that the traditional club membership isn’t part of that growth. The majority of clubs are semi-private, so we are confident that you can get a game in most places if you call in advance.
