Olching is a great choice for golfers who want a Germany golf holiday close to Munich, but with a calmer Bavarian feel. Set around 20 km north-west of the city, it gives you easy access to Munich’s restaurants, beer gardens, museums and old-town sightseeing, while keeping you close to countryside, river walks and relaxed local life.

The main golfing highlight is Golfclub Olching, an 18-hole championship course on the banks of the River Amper. Originally laid out in 1980/81 by Kurt Roßknecht, the course was modernised in 2012/13 by Thomas Himmel, with redesigned greens, renewed bunkers and tees, extended ponds and an improved short-game area. Today, it plays as a peaceful parkland course with modern green and bunker design, mature trees and water features adding both strategy and scenery.

For golfers who want variety, Olching also works well as part of a wider Munich golf itinerary, with venues such as Golfclub München Eichenried, Golfpark München Aschheim and Golf Valley München all within the broader Bavarian golf region. Away from the fairways, the River Amper, local lakes and nearby Upper Bavarian countryside make it easy to add walking, cycling or a slower afternoon after golf. Munich’s official tourism site also highlights how close the city is to beautiful lakes, mountains and day-trip scenery.

For UK golfers, Olching is ideal for a tailor-made Munich golf break with a quieter base, strong golf and easy city access. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right hotels, tee times and travel route.
