Golfclub Rickenbach e.V. Driving Range

Rickenbach sits in the southern Black Forest, right against the Swiss border in the Hotzenwald — one of the higher, quieter plateaus of Baden-Württemberg, where dense spruce forest opens onto broad pastoral views toward the Rhine valley and the Swiss Alps beyond. It's a corner of Germany that most visiting golfers never reach, which gives the local club scene here an unhurried, members-first character far removed from the resort circuits further north.

Golfclub Rickenbach's driving range serves as the practice facility for the club and its members, offering a place to work on ball-striking in surroundings that are genuinely scenic rather than purely functional. At this altitude and latitude, the range will be seasonally shaped — cooler summers than the Rhine plain, with the forest providing both shelter and a distinctive backdrop that reminds you exactly where you are.

For visitors, this is primarily a warm-up or practice stop rather than a destination round. If you're exploring golf in the tri-border region of Germany, Switzerland, and France, the Hotzenwald makes for an atmospheric detour worth knowing about.
