Deserves 7 stars from me ***
Reviewed June 14, 2023
Why can you only give a maximum of 5 stars in the rating?
The Golfpark Gut Batzenhof deserves 7 stars from me!
What I experienced there on June 8th, 2023 simply inspired me completely.
In the last 38 years I have played more than 450 golf courses on 4 continents.
From what I've seen in the (golf course) world, I say:
The Gut Batzenhof golf course is one of the best of the best!
Star #1:
The location is excellent. The golf park has excellent regional connections to the A 8 motorway (Karlsbad exit). The golf park is also very easy to reach from the surrounding area.
Star #2:
The configuration of the golf course is perfect: 18 holes plus 9 holes plus 6 holes short course plus extensive practice facilities. Everyone will find something that suits them here.
Star #3:
The terrain is made for an inviting golf course. The topography is slightly undulating. The moderate ups and downs of the fairways can also be easily mastered on foot by older people without any effort.
Star #4:
The fairways are perfectly planned and laid out in an equally perfect design. The fairway of the "Classic Course" is very varied and exciting in its game dramaturgy. After the round of 18 holes, I can still remember every single fairway.
Star #5:
The decoration of the Classic Course is spectacular! Where in Germany (or even in the world) are there so many smart accessories on, on and between the fairways? The Karlsruhe Palace, the Baden song, the bunkers shaped as hands and hearts, the green as a composition of sun, moon and stars, the fairy tale characters on a short path through the forest, and, and, and...
Star #6:
The clubhouse impresses with its clear architecture, its upscale equipment, its well thought-out functionality and, last but not least, its impressive size. The outdoor area with the large terrace, the attractive space in front of the entrance and the more than sufficient parking spaces can withstand any comparison with other golf courses.
Star #7:
The staff on the golf course practices the much-quoted (and often missed) "welcome culture" convincingly with friendliness, competence and helpfulness. The protagonists of the digitized golf course operation may cut my slice off!
All in all: The Golfpark Gut Batzenhof would definitely be my "home course". If it weren't for the 300 kilometers from where I live (there's probably no DGV pass with an "R" on it...)

Ok
Reviewed April 28, 2023
Not a place where you say "I absolutely have to go there again".
Some holes are very interesting to play.
However, the long par 6 is not one of them.
Clubhouse, outdoor facilities, practice facility are really nice and plentiful.
Very full! Large catchment area.
It is also incomprehensible that you have to pay a significant surcharge on top of the green fee at Golf Absolute, even though you are a full member of a golf club (neither long-distance membership nor VCG player), if there is no golden hologram on the club ID.
I don't know that from any other place and it clearly gives you the feeling of being treated as a second-class player. A pity!
This is completely outdated and no longer up to date.

Gimmicks
Reviewed August 19, 2022
740 yards, a pyramid, and an undefined building on the 2nd nine are gimmicks!
The longest railway in Europe is still remembered.
Played before Corona, a good maintenance condition for the young age of the facility and varied tracks are remembered. Scenic unspectacular.

The place is fair and varied. The condition is good. Due to the corona, nothing can be said about the gastronomy. The fairs still need time. After all, the place is still very young. We will definitely play the course often. Not in midsummer, however. Shade is rare.

Cool place, someone has realized himself here
Reviewed September 7, 2020
Played in July 2020. Modern system. Chic clubhouse, good practice opportunities. Most of the space is imaginative. "Big mini golf", with great water hazards, height differences, a castle, bunkers in the shape of hands, stars and hearts.
In addition, of course, the 600 m par 6. There are 3 weak holes on the back nine. No. 12, the canyon looks great, but the drive is blind and the goal is narrow... everything left and right is lost. The 14 with a huge difference in height difficult to hit and negative climax (and dangerous for example on 14) the 15. Completely blind tee shot, you can only guess the direction and whether the ball is lying. You can only see the green shortly before.
Apart from that a funny place. Condition OK for a relatively new course. Sometimes long distances, but there are many carts. Make sure to stop by when you're around.

Very individual, sporty golf

Played on 07/10 at 6:30 a.m. Very good condition for such a young plant. The trains all have their own character. Only the rough should be avoided, because there you definitely lose every ball. The friendly welcome rounded off the pleasant round. I will come back.

It's really fun

In May 2020 the chance to play Europe's longest golf course brought me to Karlsruhe.
Each of the 18 fairways has a name and is designed with a lot of humor by the course designer (eg “Doppelherz” with 2 heart-shaped bunkers). Only at lane 10 did I find the artificial pyramid out of place in the middle of the fairway.
The maintenance status was exceptionally good for such a young facility. The practice facilities, clubhouse and restaurant were also convincing.
Conclusion: a visit that was worth it - gladly again at any time
