Fairway Meets Fine Dining – Your Golf Weekend at the Öschberghof
Beautiful hotels with great golf on the doorstep aren't rare. Add two Michelin stars, four Gault & Millau toques and fine dining beside the fairway, and things get truly exciting: welcome to the Öschberghof.
Dear golfing community,
There’s no shortage of beautiful hotels with first-class golf courses right on the doorstep.
It’s rarer still when gourmet stars rain down on top of that – and fine dining beside the fairway sets entirely new culinary standards. That’s when things get truly exciting.
Award-winning? And how.
When indulgence becomes a signature, masterpieces follow: two Michelin stars, four red Gault & Millau toques, nine Gusto pans and 94 Falstaff points confirm it – haute cuisine is celebrated here with precision and passion.
Nestled between Lake Constance and the Black Forest, in the gentle hills near Donaueschingen, you’ll find this refuge in south-west Baden-Württemberg – just over an hour from Zurich or Stuttgart. We’re talking about the Öschberghof, named Germany’s Best Golf Hotel and ranked among Europe’s Top 5 Luxury Hideaways.
But don’t worry – we won’t unload every highlight at once.
Read on to find out why this place could become your new favourite resort.
Happy discovering –
Your NineteenGolf.Guide Team

At the Öschberghof, indulgence doesn’t start with dinner – it accompanies you from breakfast to the last glass of the evening. Five culinary stages, each an experience in its own right, yet all sharing the same ambition: uncompromising quality.
As mentioned: this isn’t just cooking, it’s award-winning cooking – with stars, toques, pans and forks. Michelin, Gault&Millau, Falstaff & Co. have all been, tasted – and stayed. In short: the full package for discerning gourmets.
ÖSCH NOIR – Fine Dining. Full stop.
Head chef Manuel Ulrich and his team celebrate top-tier French cuisine with a modern twist – artfully composed, precisely staged. Whether the classic MENÜ NOIR or the vegetarian MENÜ VERT – what lands on the plate here has style, substance and stars: awarded one Michelin star in 2020, two since 2021 – and still ranked among Germany’s 50 best restaurants.
Italian dolce vita – right on the Hexenweiher
In summer, you’ll enjoy your drink on the sunny terrace overlooking the golf course. Inside or out, it’s a favourite spot for anyone who loves Bella Italia – and good food generally. An Aperol Spritz in hand, stone-baked pizza on the plate, sun on your face. You can’t get more Italy than this – short of actually going there.
Traditional Indulgence Beneath the Pines at the Öventhütte
The Öventhütte is your retreat after a round of golf, a favourite spot for sociable evenings, or the perfect stop on a walk through the Black Forest. Amid wooden benches, cabin charm and beer-garden flair, the team serves Alpine specialities – down-to-earth, hearty, and made with real attention to detail.
Tanöshi – Japanese indulgence, masterfully served
Sushi master Supachai Tomsoongnoen creates delicate rolls, bowls and ramen with precision and passion – accompanied by Japanese beer, sake and perfectly matched wines. If you like, you can even watch over his shoulder – and see craftsmanship turn into real flavour. Kon’nichiwa, indulgence!
Every glass, a blockbuster
When the corks pop at ÖSCH NOIR, one person usually has a hand in it: Michael Häni, sommelier, host and master of the fine drop. Together with winemakers from around the world, he curates a wine list that doesn’t just impress with its 2,000-plus entries – it delights, from château classics to new favourite discoveries.
Häni’s ÖNOTHEK
The term Önothek comes from the Greek oinos (wine) and the French bibliothèque (library) – in other words: a “wine library”.
The head sommelier of the two-star restaurant ÖSCH NOIR doesn’t just find you the right drop – he’s happy to tell you the stories behind it too. Wine philosophising, they call it!
And for a delicious déjà vu back home, you can pick up your favourite wine here to take with you.

Winding down is the new gearing up
From Fairway to Feel-Good
Whether for recovery after a round or simply to properly switch off, the spa at the Öschberghof is the place to be when your body says “time for a break”. Four spa worlds make it possible: from the Far-East-inspired Asia Spa, through the salt-rich Harmony Spa, to the active Energy Spa with event sauna and probably the coolest ice lounge in the world.
Wellbeing by the Square Metre: Spa and Gym Across More Than 5,500 m²
Whether yoga, back fitness or endurance training – the 500 m² gym keeps your game in motion.
For hotel guests, the class programme is included! Afterwards, dive in, recharge, switch off: the spa offers soothing treatments, from classic massage to modern beauty therapy.
Golf Is No Matter of Luck –
It’s a Matter of Address.
It’s hardly surprising that the Öschberghof was nominated “World’s Leading Golf Resort” in 2023.
With 45 holes, three immaculately maintained courses, state-of-the-art training facilities and service that’s almost suspiciously perfect, the resort has long been playing at the very top.
What’s unique isn’t just the varied course routing – it’s the location too: from anywhere on the resort, it’s only three to five minutes’ walk to the tee. Convenient. Short. Consistently to the point.
Individual lesson (50 minutes): from €80.00
The Golf Academy
At the Golf Academy, it’s not just about hitting off – it’s about moving forward, with targeted coaching and state-of-the-art technology. From the putting green to the driving range, from the short-game area to video analysis: nothing is left to chance here.
And your equipment adapts to you too – not the other way round. Head professional Philipp Klöpper sees to that. Promise.

Short but mighty – the Academy Course
Ideal for anyone who doesn’t want to choose between “short” and “good”.
The 9-hole course is perfect for a quick round or focused technique training. Here you play among old parkland greens and listed burial mounds.
Old Course – Classic. Characterful. Cult status.
This is classic parkland – and anything but yesterday’s news.
Redesigned in 2017, it’s now part of the Leading Golf Courses – a quality label reserved for only the best courses, meeting the highest standards in upkeep, service and infrastructure.
Links feel in the south – the East Course
Open, modern and treeless, its undulating topography evokes a links course – just set in the middle of the Black Forest. Narrow, demanding and full of character. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Feldberg.
Time for More Than Just Golf –
Excursion Ideas Around the Black Forest

The Biggest Lake. The Greatest Calm.
Some places simply move you – and the Schluchsee is exactly that kind of place. As the largest lake in the Black Forest, it’s a place of energy for nature lovers, fresh-air fans and hiking hearts.
Whether you stroll leisurely along the lakeside path, wander calmly through the reeds, or venture up a panoramic ridge trail – you’ll find your own personal time-out at every step. The Schluchsee is about 60 kilometres from the Öschberghof. You can be there by car in a good hour!

Onto the Bike, Out into Nature
The Black Forest shows its best side when you explore it by bike – sporty in the saddle or nice and relaxed with e-power. Around the Öschberghof, varied routes await for every fitness level – from leisurely to properly uphill.
Brought your own bike? Perfect! If not, no problem: the hotel has a large selection of mountain bikes, trekking bikes and e-bikes ready for you.

Wanderlust? Step by Step.
“Walking is an activity of the legs and a state of the soul.”
Josef Hofmiller knew what he was talking about. Whether meadow or forest, gentle or steep – around the Öschberghof, you’re guaranteed to find your favourite route.
Take, for example, a 5.2 km tour starting right at the hotel – doable in around 1 hour 20, according to the Apple Watch. Ideal for a digestive stroll after all that good food at the Öschberghof.
