The golf course

An outstanding golf course
The Peugeot Golf Guide 2005, the equivalent to golf of the Michelin Guide to gastronomy ranks Kempferhof as the second best course in France.

This Von Hagge course gives the initial impression of careful grooming and attention to detail. The beauty of the site is apparent the moment you arrive. In a country setting of pine-trees, beech and

birch, playing to your handicap might be much to ask, but this flattish course can be played by all (although beginners may be unsettled by a few dangerous water hazards). We found this a very selective course, calling for skill in ball-control and stroke-making, and great emphasis on precision-play, especially for approaching the huge and carefully designed greens. As all the hazards are there to be seen, the course hides nothing of what it demands from golfers. The terrain has been contoured to a considerable extent, but mother nature has regained the upper hand to give an overall impression of tranquillity. A great course in a fabulous region.

"From the back tees, it seems inhuman, yet it is still manageable for the large part of the golfers" Jan Van de Velde

" There is a lot of water(…), but it is great to play on a course which is so well-tended " Bernhard Langer

" Standing on the fields I realised, that it is within our power to create a master piece, which will be known and recognised all over Europe " Bob Von HAGGE, American Golf architect,.
