The lovely 18-hole course is embedded in gentle hills. The typical Appenzell scattered settlement gives the course its special character. A wonderful view of the surrounding romantic Appenzell landscape and the Alpstein massif, with the majestic Säntis in the background, leaves a lasting impression. On the southern edge, the golf course borders on an idyllic nature conservation wetland and offers a unique sports and nature experience with this fantastic location.
The round is dominated by the deep ravine, which must be flown over during the target attack on the 3rd and also stands in the way during the drive on the 6th, at least for the men. A camera shows the player the free drive. The second half is less excited and the pulse rate drops. Except for the interesting 13th hole. A par 5 with apparently more water than grass. The existing pond was cleverly incorporated into the bend of this dogleg, and the trickle in the good second stroke area makes it all the more exciting. But it’s the island green that ultimately gets the adrenaline pumping.
The two-storey driving range has 35 teeing grounds (17 covered) and is floodlit in the evening. Due to the target greens with sand bunkers on the driving range, practice can be even more effective. The 5 short hole golf course for golf students, juniors or for the precise game of experienced golfers completes the training area.
The kitchen at the “Golf Gonten” is described as “cheeky and plain”. Wherever possible, regional and seasonal ingredients are used. The offer is of high quality, but not aloof.
