Golfclub Schotten (Meisterschaftsplatz)

Golfclub Schotten (Meisterschaftsplatz) is an 18-hole course set within the Naturpark Hoher Vogelsberg in Hesse, Germany, managed with a strong commitment to ecological principles. Unlike conventionally manicured layouts, the course adapts to the natural contours of the landscape rather than reshaping them. Chemical fertilisers, herbicides, and permanent irrigation systems are all avoided — watering is carried out by tanker — a practice that supports rare plant species such as silver thistles and irises, and has earned the course an environmental award. Visitors are drawn to its relaxed atmosphere and the scenic, unspoilt surroundings that make a round here feel distinctly different from a typical parkland or resort course.
