The complex, masterminded by the founder Dietmar Hopp, boasts two 18-hole championship courses, a 9-hole executive course and a children s course. The English golf course architect Dave Thomas designed the St. Leon course as a links-style course, reminiscent of Scottish or Irish golf courses. The course became famous in 2002 when the world s number one player Tiger Woods won his third Deutsche Bank SAP Open there. The Rot course was designed by architect Hannes Schreiner, who retained much of the original river wetland, ensuring that the course offers not only charming scenery but also presents special challenges. The island green of the Rot course and the island fairway of the St. Leon course are the signature holes of the club. The St. Leon-Rot Golf Club is one of the Leading Golf Courses in Germany as well as one of the European Tour Destinations (since 2012). ST. LEON ROT GOLF CLUB

The undulating terrain of the Mosel course presents players with a sporting challenge. It features several water hazards, well-placed bunkers, doglegs and some woodland terrain at the back nine. The hilly landscape ensures that players face both technical and physical tests. The 9-hole executive Eifel course offers just as high a level of interest and diversity as the main course.
