Golfplatz Auf der Lausward

Golfplatz Auf der Lausward, operated by the GSV Düsseldorf, holds a notable place in German golf history as the country's first purpose-built public golf course, opened in 1978. The nine-hole layout sits on a peninsula in the Rhine harbour district of Düsseldorf, with the city skyline forming an urban backdrop to play unlike almost anywhere else in German golf. The eighth hole in particular offers direct views across the river towards the iconic Düsseldorf towers. No club membership is required — only a playing certificate — and the course is open daily, making it one of the most genuinely accessible facilities in the region. Green fees are reasonable and the setting alone makes a round here worth experiencing.
