Elmpter Wald
Europäischer Golfclub Elmpter Wald is discreetly tucked-away in tranquil woodland, alongside what used to be RAF Brüggen, a Royal Air Force base for Tornado fighter jets. The course was built in 1954 by the RAF as a sports facility for British armed forces personnel based in and around Roermond. It is now open to all.
Although not yet visited by the Where2Golf team, we understand this gently undulating 70-year-old course, with its quiet tree and heather-lined holes, blends seamlessly into the surrounding forest and heathland of the De Meinweg / Maas-Schwalm-Nette nature reserve..
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

The Elmpter Wald golf course is located on a former military site which served as an important Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Germany from 1953 to 2001. The barracks and airfield were named RAF Brüggen", after the community of Brüggen, which had the nearest railway station.
The Elmpter Wald golf course was built in 1954 by the RAF as a sports facility for British armed forces personnel based in and around Roermond. When the RAF withdrew from the airbase in 2002, it was taken over by the British Army and renamed as “Javelin Barracks.” At this point, the golf club changed its name to West Rhine Golf Club (WRGC) and continued to be run as a British Forces social facility. In 2015 the Europäischer Golf Club Elmpter Wald took over the operation of the Elmpt golf course from West Rhine Golf Club.
