Good course
Reviewed June 19, 2013
An excellent course which is not difficult to negotiate, however the greens can be speeded up a bit and the grass along fairways trimmed, as it lays a premium on keeping it straight. Anything moderately off the fairway is lost due to the dense grass.
So keep a lot of balls in hand

Beautiful, albeit crowded place
Reviewed August 29, 2024
Otelfingen is a relatively challenging course, which I think is good. It has a lot of water and narrow fairways. The greens have become faster in recent years. Considering how crowded the course is (on weekends you have to book early enough to get a tee time), the course is very well maintained. The new bunkers in particular make the course even more exciting and varied. The clubhouse is beautifully located on the 18th hole and invites you to enjoy a refreshing drink after the round. One star is deducted only because of the number of players on the course.
Conclusion: Very good place to practice and play tournaments.

Green fee players should avoid the course in 2024
Reviewed May 29, 2024
I have a lot of positive things to say about this course (see my other reviews). But this year the bunkers are being rebuilt. And it's taking up a lot of space. The result: lots of "lost" balls because you're no longer allowed to get them in the GUR. The members are pretty upset. So my tip to non-Migros players: forget about the course this year and don't come back until 2025. That will save you a lot of trouble.

So far good place, reservation office partly staffed by arrogant employees
Reviewed August 29, 2023
Last Thursday, August 24th, I took part in a 2-man scramble in a golf tournament organized by Migros Bank.
My distance result of 16.5 cm to the specified yellow line, which I achieved on the course, for the "nearest-to-the-line" hole 7 women's competition, was clearly and legibly entered into the existing list on the course.
As it turned out later, I had clearly won first place among the women, far from the second best player, who had played with a distance of 1.44 m to the line.
Unfortunately, the calculation office entered the second-placed player in the results list as the winner and was therefore mentioned by name for the honor and awarding of the prize.
The office staff who put the wrong player on the winner's list didn't even consider it necessary to apologize to me for their mistake.
This character-deficient misconduct on the part of the employees is simply unworthy of a Migros Golf Park.

The Autumn Ace
Reviewed October 25, 2022
In my opinion, the place is described quite aptly in most reviews. Not a jewel but always well cared for. And the friendliness next to the square is very pleasing for such a large operation.
What I have noticed over the years is that the fairways are in good condition after the summer, because they are quite dry. Apparently, the subsoil and drainage are so optimal that the course differs positively from many other courses, especially in autumn. No muddy ground after normal downpours and a semi that is also playable at this time of year.
The fact that the place is almost always full is also an advantage for me. The accordion operation with different flight sizes is rare here. The pace is ok, if not particularly fast. But in 4:15 you can usually get through.

Nice facility but very crowded when the weather is nice
Reviewed June 30, 2022
Beautiful golf course, unfortunately everything is pretty flat, so geographically not so nice. The atmosphere and reception is very friendly and relaxed.
It has an 18 hole course, a 6 hole course and an Academy 6 hole par 3 course which is ideal for beginners without a handicap.
When the weather is nice, the golf course is very full, often every flight is fully booked, and discipline is required for slower flights.

Great facility, motivating pros
Reviewed May 21, 2022
I cannot agree with the other reviews. I experience the Pros as very customer-friendly and motivating!
The facility is well maintained and I really appreciate being able to play on the Academy course right from the start. Thank you very much.

Demanding and always full;)
Reviewed October 28, 2021
To the 18 hole course:
All in all a good place, lots of water and biotope, some long and narrow (# 5, # 13), some greens that are difficult to play (# 2, # 5, # 7, # 8, # 15), but also scoring holes (# 3, # 10, # 11), where you can play birdies with a little courage.
I don't know why, but despite being well cared for, the place is simply not really "beautiful". Neither the surroundings (railway line, aircraft noise, shooting ranges) nor the layout are really "sexy". No noticeable holes and repetitive design (# 3 vs. # 15, # 1 vs. # 6 vs. # 7).
BUT: whoever plays well here is a good golfer and can be satisfied with himself.
In addition, the reception is always friendly, the pro shop is well sorted, the range is great (top tracer, covered and open, two sides, regularly new mats, good short game areas) and, despite the constant full occupancy, the condition is good. Meanwhile summer greens all year round, if possible (then everything from blue).
Otelfingen also has an ace up its sleeve:
6 hole champion course
A full-fledged and good golf course, but with 6 holes. Partly more exciting layout than the "big brother", really cool holes and ideal if you haven't had enough after 18 or you run out of daylight after the office.
Significantly more beginners on the way, but that's okay too.
6 hole academy
Good short course, nice for practicing approaches and putting. Hcp 54 assembly, logical. Really great for everyone who is just starting out with golf.

Great facility, very well-kept, relaxed atmosphere, always happy here
Reviewed April 26, 2021
The Lägern Golf Club or the Migros Golf Park Otelfingen is always a good address for pleasant golf. The 18 hole is heavily frequented but always in top condition, long fairways, many bunkers, sometimes treacherous doglegs and water again and again. Variety guaranteed, but rather flat and not hilly, easy to play on foot.
The 6-hole champion is just as extensive and by no means a short course. With a double round, the chic clubhouse invites you to a halfway break at Aperol Spritz.
The champion also has its pitfalls and is a real course - but unfortunately too short. The short course academy is more for beginners and you should leave the playing area for them. Large practice facilities are open to everyone without a range fee. Top!
ps. You can also eat very well there.

Gratifying
Reviewed August 18, 2018
For me, together with Oberkirch, the best Migros facility. Although the holes to the greens are very similar in many holes and the course has some boring passages, it offers its challenges. The state on our matchday last week was pleasingly good. In addition, despite the factory-like presentation very friendly reception in the Secretariat - great! Of course, the big layout implies that extremely many golfers cavort here and no idyll may be expected. Although, in the square it was quite quiet. Even the flyers mentioned again and again I do not find annoying, but that's just a matter of taste. With just over four and a half hours in four-flight the pace was also satisfactory.

Perfect state
Reviewed April 30, 2017
As a golfer without a car the place is ideally located. The place is in a state supper. change the pin positions regularly, the greens are well maintained, the regularly mowed FARWAYS and the bunkers also in damp weather relatively soft sand. And all at Migros prices. It is not surprising that the place is fully booked.

Reviewed June 25, 2016
Can only agree with the other reviews:
+ Well-place with perfect infrastructure
+ Price
- Mass production / Pensioners Club
- Academy was a huge disappointment: unmotivated Pros, at each session, the Pro adopted even before the official closing time
- Electricity pylons, rail, air traffic noise, cyclists and walkers, noise from permanent lawn care by tractors, etc. take the place of any charm.
- Is little ago The completely flat profile.

Golf Factory
Reviewed July 23, 2014
The place is clearly overloaded. Trying a mass golf club with about 800 members and the many club free players and guests to the region Zurich to enter a game option inevitably leads to compromises. The start times are booked on a regular basis or be assigned by the players eligible Golf Club (and unfortunately often not used). Considering that the place is a public MIGROSBANK-conditioning, are the paths and greens generally in good condition. The individual fairways, however, offer little apart Highlights of individual holes. A hole is like the other. The place itself is not very difficult when setting up tactically. Aggressive play is punished quickly because of the many obstacles and biotopes.
The service, the clubhouse and the food are very good though. The same applies to the training options. However, this positive judgment can not be made for the associated golf academy. Apart from some exceptions are the pro's for a rather dull and unfriendly part. I have experienced several times that the agreed times are shortened quite sporty. Since there are clearly deductions. Here there is considerable potential for improvement. Guests, I can not recommend it as the Pro's hard to adapt to individual players and their capabilities, the Golf Academy absolute. Here is just thought and settled in "mass processing".

TOP!
Reviewed May 21, 2014
The first is to say: Yes, it has a lot of people... and yes, it is accordingly much going on! But the place is beautiful and the great operation you get on the court with nothing.
The place is in perfect condition. TOP maintained. Beautiful and very interesting to play here.
The greens are not very fast, but very well maintained and Linientreu.
Bunkers are perfect with soft sand.
The driving range offers many good training possibilities, but is a bit short for better players with 270. Otherwise top.
The restaurant is very nice and the food is also good.
This facility is in all respects a model! Keep it up! Come with great pleasure again

Slightly monotonous Golf Factory
Reviewed February 23, 2012
The area is very busy and the Marshall drives the golfers at each bit rude.
The course is arranged in a plane next to train tracks and under the departure path of the nearby airfield, which leads to some pretty nervigem noise.
The place is in surprisingly good condition considering the high number of visitors. But the holes are laid out quite boring sometimes and the same in many cases.
The 18 hole (Par 3), where it is played across the lake to the green, is quite spectacular and you can with a nice ball offer viewers something in the restaurant.
The restaurant is clean and good. There is a self-service part where the food can quickly go from equip.
For a quick round of golf, the place may well be recommended.
