Wantzenau

Located just outside Strasbourg in the Rhine Valley, the 18-hole layout at Golf de la Wantzenau is an early 1990s production from Jeremy Pern which is routed around a number of small lakes on a very flat landscape.

Working with French golfing great Jean Garaïalde, the architect created the water features in order to provide sufficient material to fashion a few fairway contours and generate a little movement around the greens.

Today, the layout extends to just over 6,000 metres, configured as two returning nines, both of which play to a par of 36. Highlight holes include the first of the par threes at the 3rd (with an all-carry tee shot over water, of course) and the toughest hole on the back nine at the 18th (rated stroke index 2).

The Peugeot Golf Guide describes the course as follows in this edited extract:

"Welcome to Florida in Alcace, where US-style golf combines with a rather attractive local-style clubhouse. The par fives are particularly well laid out and going for the green in two is a risky business. Architect Jeremy Pern has intelligently made the best use of a very flat terrain.”.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
