Course
Jack Niclaus designed course. It is the 7th time the Linde German Masters has been held at this course. There is a a lot of water around the finishing holes. Accuracy from the tee will be rewarded due to firm greens and dense rough. There is no run on the tee shots, and it is generally quite windy with no trees for protection.
