Golf Club Altenhof e.V.

Golf Club Altenhof e.V. is an 18-hole championship course located near Eckernförde on the Eckernförder Bay in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Founded in 1971, the course is situated within the historic Altenhof estate, a 15th-century von Bethmann-Hollweg family property, creating a distinctive atmosphere enhanced by ancient solitary trees and parkland setting.

The course features a decidedly picturesque hilly landscape with sweeping views over fields. Each of the 18 holes presents fair but demanding challenges suitable for players of all handicap levels. A comprehensive master plan implemented in 2015-2016 modernized all holes while maintaining the course's character, offering ambition to experienced golfers while providing enjoyment for beginners.

Notable characteristics include the harmonious integration into historic parkland, abundant wildlife and biodiversity, and notably quiet surroundings without traffic noise. The course consistently ranks among Germany's most beautiful golf courses. The club hosts competitive play at national league level and provides comprehensive facilities including a golf academy led by professional Nils Sallmann, youth programs, and on-site gastronomy in a historic building wing.
