Golf Germany

Golf Germany, the EGT Way

Germany pairs serious golf with the great river scenery of the Rhine — half-timbered towns, Riesling vineyards and brilliant cities, all in one trip. EGT builds custom trips for golfers and non-golfers together, with the same care as our Ireland and Scotland tours: great courses for the players, and days just as good for everyone else.

Germany — In Pictures

The Rhine in Motion

Castles on the hillsides, vineyards running down to the water, and a river that has carried travellers for two thousand years — the Rhine is best seen from the deck of a boat. Our sample tour below builds in a cruise through the castle country between Koblenz and Rüdesheim, with a wine tasting in the Rheingau along the way. The full six-day Golf & the Rhine sample itinerary follows the films below — Days 1 to 6, from Cologne through the castle country.

Sample Tour — Golf & the Rhine

Day 1: Arrive in Cologne: settle in, welcome dinner in the old town.

Day 2: Golf at Gut Lärchenhof, one of Germany’s great championship courses, on the European Tour rotation; non-golfers explore Cologne Cathedral and the old town.

Day 4: Golf at Düsseldorfer Golf Club or a second Rhine-side round; evening at leisure in Düsseldorf’s Altstadt, the “longest bar in the world”.
