The Marc Aurel Spa & Golf Resort in Bad Gögging, Bavaria, features a 9-hole golf course located directly on the hotel grounds. This facility is recognized by the Deutscher Golf Verband (German Golf Association) and includes a large driving range as well as dedicated chipping, pitching, and putting greens. The course is designed to facilitate golfer education and handicap improvement, serving as a practical training ground for players seeking their Platzreife (golf license) or looking to refine their skills in a relaxed, pressure-free environment. The resort’s golf concept integrates play with the property’s thermal water and spa facilities, allowing guests to recover immediately after a round. The course layout supports a "Golf & Therme" approach, where the short course format allows for quicker play and faster success for beginners, while still offering strategic challenges for more experienced golfers. Instruction is provided by German-speaking coaches using methods that focus on kinesthetic training and the automation of the golf swing. For players seeking a full 18-hole championship experience, the resort maintains partnerships with several nearby courses within a 50-kilometer radius. These include the 18-hole championship course at Golf-Club Landshut e.V., known for its longest Par 5 in Germany at 625 meters, and the Wittelsbacher Golfclub, which has hosted the Audi International Amateur Championships of Germany eight times. Other partner venues include Golfanlage Bad Abbach, Golfplatz Sinzing with views of the Danube valley, Golfclub Holledau, and the Golf-Club Ingolstadt.
