The European Tour is back this week and pitches up at the Golfclub München Eichenried which held its first BMW International Open just after the opening in 1989, which was won by David Feherty. This will be the 25th time that the course has held this prestigious tournament.
Kurt Roßknecht who was commissioned to design 27 holes with three 9-hole loops designed the course – the parkland track is long and flat. Features include an abundant stock of a variety of trees with water hazards and streams, the numerous ponds feature some elegant dry stone-wall work. There are also two half-island greens and nearly 90 bunkers throughout the course for the players to contend with.
