Dornoch – die Golf-Stadt in Schottlands Highland

„Das ist einfach großartig hier“, schwärmt der Amerikaner auf der Driving Range und schlägt den nächsten Ball. Er ist aus Detroit hier in den hohen Norden Schottlands geflogen. Er ist Mitglied im Oakland Hills Golf Club, einem der renommiertesten Golfclubs der USA. Ryder Cup Schauplatz 2004. Die Renovierung der Golfplätze hat dort zwölf Millionen Dollar verschlungen. Vor kurzem ist das Clubhaus abgebrannt. Die 60 Millionen Dollar, die der Club von der Versicherung als Entschädigung bekommt, werden für den Neuaufbau wohl nicht reichen, erklärt uns der Besucher aus Detroit. Top-Qualität in den USA ist für ihn mit Geld verbunden, mit riesigen Clubhäusern, elitären Clubs.

Von Detroit nach Dornoch

Und jetzt steht er hier, in den schottischen Highlands, auf der Driving Range des Royal Dornoch Golf Club und schlägt euphorisch von einer buckligen Abschlagsfläche Bälle. Hinter ihm steht ein knallgelber Eimer zum Bällewaschen – geschätzter Anschaffungspreis ein Pfund pro Stück. Die Gebäude auf der Range – eine winzige überdachte Hütte und ein nicht mehr taufrischer Schuppen, würde er in den USA keines Blickes würdigen. „Es ist großartig“, sagt er noch einmal, schlägt den letzten Ball und fährt mit dem Shuttle gen Clubhaus, um an der British Senior Amateur Championship teilzunehmen.

Was bedeutet nachhaltige Top-Qualität im Golfsport? Diese Frage sollte man sich hier, zehn Stunden Fahrtzeit von London entfernt, stellen. Die Antwort lässt sich an dem inzwischen so häufig von Unternehmen benützten Begriff ESG festmachen: Environment, Social, Governance, auf deutsch: Umwelt, Soziales, Unternehmensführung.

Kein Geld für großen Luxus

Im Royal Dornoch Golf Club hat man es geschafft, an einem ziemlich verlassenen Ort dieser Welt, einen Hotspot der internationalen Golfszene zu schaffen, der den ganzen Ort ernährt, Mehrwert für Kinder schafft und obendrein umweltfreundlich ist. Dabei wird mit Blick auf das unprätentiöse Clubhaus und die funktionale Driving Range auch klar – Geld fließt hier nicht in modischen Kleinkram, in luxuriöse Optik, in Riesengebäude, sondern in die Basics des Sports.

Das hat den Vorteil, dass die Kosten in Zeiten von Krisen übersichtlich bleiben. Wenn – wie während der Corona-Lockdowns – die unzähligen Greenfee-Runden wegfallen, sind die Kosten trotzdem noch tragbar. Wenn die Energiepreise steigen, wie jetzt der Fall, ist das Clubhaus trotzdem noch heizbar. Der Mäh- und damit der Dieselaufwand auf einem Platz, auf dem kaum Wasser und kaum Dünger zum Einsatz kommen, ist übersichtlich. Höhere Preise sind damit unschön, führen aber nicht zur Finanzkatastrophe.

Eine Stadt lebt allein von Golf

„Dornoch ist die Golf-Stadt“ sagt der General-Manager des Clubs Neil Hampton. Bei genauerer Betrachtung ist sie dies sogar mehr als St. Andrews. Das zweieinhalb Stunden südlicher gelegene Home of Golf hat zwar weit mehr Golfplätze, die Open Championship und den R&A zu bieten, aber es lebt nicht allein vom Golf. Da sind die international anerkannte Universität und der Beach-Tourismus, die zwei weitere Standbeine ausmachen. In Dornoch kommen zweifelsfrei auch ein paar Wanderer und Camper vorbei, aber von einem größeren Ansturm kann selbst jetzt im Hochsommer keine Rede sein.

Der Royal Dornoch Golfclub ist das Zentrum von Dornoch: Mit dem Struie und dem weltberühmten Championship-Kurs generiert er nicht nur 13.000 Greenfee-Runden im Jahr generiert, sondern auch 17.000 Runden von Mitgliedern. Eigentlich spielt hier jeder Einwohner Golf. „Und jedes Kind hier lernt im Laufe seines Lebens Golf“, erklärt Hampton zufrieden. Der Club bezahlt die Golflehrer, die in die Schulen gehen, umsonst Unterricht geben, ein großes Jugendförderprogramm betreiben. Es reicht vom Einsteiger bis zum Spitzenamateur. Die 13.000 Greenfeerunden erzeugen ein geschätztes Einkommen von rund zwei Millionen Pfund im Jahr, das dafür sorgt, dass die lokalen Golfer sehr preisgünstig spielen können. Mit den Greenfeespielern steigen die Übernachtungszahlen, die Umsätze in den Restaurants und die Buchungen bei anderen Ausflugszielen.

Bahn 10 des Struie Course

Die ´Qualität des Golfs wird auch anhand einer kleinen Zahl ersichtlich, die man der renommierten US-Zeitschrift Golf Digest entnehmen kann. Der Championship Course von Royal Dornoch wurde im Juni 2022 als die Nummer 3 der weltbesten Plätze außerhalb der USA bewertet.

Was bedeutet Spitzen-Qualität für das Management von Royal Dornoch lautet unsere Frage an Neil Hampton, und er fängt an zu überlegen. Dann fängt er an vom Fescue-Nachsaat-Programm auf dem Golfplatz zu sprechen, von neuen Sprinklerköpfen auf dem Golfplatz, von dem ständigen Versuch, die Grüns hart und spielbar zu halten, die Roughs licht und optisch perfekt. Das Ganze natürlich bei einem minimalen Wasserverbrauch, auch – wenn es wie in diesem Frühjahr kaum regnet.

Schutz von Marschland

Hampton erzählt auch von dem Forschungsprojekt der Universität St. Andrews, an dem sich der Club beteiligt hat, um die Küstenbefestigung zu verbessern. Das Marschland vor dem Struie Course vor allem an Loch 10 fiel zunehmend der Erosion zum Opfer, musste durch neue Befestigungsmatten aus Bioprodukten gesichert werden. Das sogenannte Green Shores Projekt, so Hampton, verlaufe insgesamt positiv. Das Marschland vor der Bahn 10 hat sich inzwischen. Die fünfstellige Summe, mit der der Golfclub die Forschungsarbeit der Universität mitfinanzierte, war gut investiert.

Erste Tests für Wassermanagement per Satellit

Marschland im Salzwasser gilt als extrem wichtiger Lebensraum, der eine hohe CO₂-Speicherqualität mitbringt und deshalb sowohl im Bereich der Biodiversität als auch im Bereich der CO₂-Neutralität eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Auf der Seite des Championship Courses findet der Besucher ebenfalls Uferbefestigungen, viel neu gepflanztes Strandgras, aber das Problem der Erosion ist hier im Vergleich zum Struie Course nicht relevant.

Grundlagen stammen von Old Tom Morris

Jetzt, wo das Land dort wieder gesichert ist, man außerdem noch ein weiteres Grundstück kaufen konnte, denkt man im Club über eine Verbesserung des Struie Platzes nach, der im Moment von Besuchern oftmals übersehen und nicht gebucht wird. Als die Verantwortlichen des Dornoch Golf Clubs 1886 Old Tom Morris einluden, um sich Gedanken über einen Golfplatz zu machen, der die bisher genützten Bahnen ersetzen sollte, war die Grundlage aller Überlegungen eine: Ein First-Class-Golfplatz sollte es sein, der mit den Ressourcen auskam, die das Land in den Dünen bereitstellte. Diese Ausgangsidee, so zeigt sich heute, ist extrem nachhaltig.

Weltklasse braucht kein luxuriöses Gedöhns.

This is history: A winner's cheque worth 1,950.000 This is history: A winner's cheque worth 1,950.0000 US dollars for Hae-Ran Ryu. The KPMG Women's PGA Championship has made a statement: Equal pay and gender equality are relevant topics in golf. 

Yes, there are still differences between the payouts for male and female golfers, but especially at the Majors, the gaps are closing. The KPMG Women's PGA Championship is the most recent striking example.

🔹 For the 2026 season, the prize money for the KPMG Women's PGA Championship has surged to $13.1 million. For context, the purse was just $10.4 million in 2025.

🔹 Narrowing the Divide: The men's PGA Championship currently sits at $20.5 million. While a gap still exists, it is shrinking at a record pace. At $13.1 million, the pay gap has been reduced to approximately 1.56x.

🔹 Equality by Exception: Unlike the regular tour, where the structural gap remains wider, these Majors are closing the gap massively.  The Amundi Evian Championship has also increased the prize money to $ 9,1 million.

Prepared for extreme heat? Here’s what’s really ha Prepared for extreme heat? Here’s what’s really happening out here - some personal impressions from the last days in Munich: 

🤣 During my fitting session, the portable TrackMan keeps breaking down. At one point, we’re cooling it down with a wet towel just to get through. Poor thing. 

😉 The early morning round starts at 6:30. The temperature is perfect, and the course is surprisingly busy. But once you finish, don’t expect coffee—like always, the club restaurant doesn’t open until ten.

😅 Wednesday’s tournament? The organisers wisely moved the start-up to 11 am instead of noon. That hour makes really all the difference in beating the heat.

🙁 The club secretary’s phone won’t stop ringing with buggy requests. The only snag: most of the clubs don't have enough buggies to go around.

😩 Water stations on the course are another story. On most courses, you only find a refill station after nine holes. If you want more, you’d better pack an extra bottle or two. 

Conclusion: Extreme heat isn't just a health issue but also a management question. Clubs in cooler countries, which aren't used to heat,  have to adapt to different playing times and consumer needs in the future.
 Yes: This is also a business opportunity.

At Prince’s Golf Club on the Kent coast, they aren't just maintaining a stunning 27-hole Open Qualifying course—they are developing new dune habitats. 

Course Manager Aaron Launchbury and his team excavate and reuse sand directly from the site. By removing invasive species, they create moist microhabitats in the winter and nutrient-poor havens in the summer. The result? An ecosystem where 100 of their 134 hectares are reserved entirely for nature, welcoming rare orchids and specialized wildlife. 🌸🦅

Is your golf course ready for the climate of tomor Is your golf course ready for the climate of tomorrow? 🌡️⛳️ TV weather expert Karsten Schwanke shares a clear forecast – and concrete solutions.

In an exclusive interview with leading sustainability consultant and golf strategist Petra Himmel, Schwanke breaks down exactly what changing weather patterns mean for the sport. With 2027 projected to be the hottest year on record globally, the DACH region needs to prepare for a Mediterranean climate: significantly drier summers, more intense thunderstorms, and much higher evaporation rates.

For regions like the Berlin area , which are already experiencing enormous drought stress, it is high time to act. Schwanke strongly warns against letting drainage water simply flow into the sewage system – calling it the "greatest sin." Instead, clubs need intelligent water retention strategies, fully in the spirit of the Sponge City concept, to capture heavy winter rainfall in storage ponds for the dry months. Furthermore, we must protect existing, often older tree populations from unprecedented heat.

The good news? The solutions for climate adaptation are already here; we just need to implement them much faster. 🌍💧

With fewer than 90 days to go until the 2026 Solheim Cup, European PING Junior Solheim Cup Captain and Solheim Cup Vice Captain Anne van Dam completed the fan cycle route today in The Netherlands.

The Dutch star is back on home soil this week for the Dutch Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour (LET) taking place at Goyer Golf & Country Club .
Get on your bike for the Solheim Cup

Van  Dam cycled from ’s-Hertogenbosch (known as Den Bosch) station to Bernardus Golf alongside Eva-Lotta Strömlid, Head of Client Partnerships at the LET, to replicate the scenic 9km route that fans will be completing in September.

Van Dam said: “As we get closer to the 2026 Solheim Cup, it’s great to be back in the Netherlands this week and to visit Bernardus. Cycling is such a key part of Dutch culture, I love being on my bike and I hope fans will take the option to cycle to Bernardus from Den Bosch station. It’s going to be an unforgettable week, and I can’t wait to have you all there with us.”

This journey is also a follow-up ride to the Road to Bernardus, which saw Strömlid complete a 1,000km journey from her home in Sweden to Bernardus Golf to mark one year until the 2026 Solheim Cup and showcase smarter eco-friendly travel options, as part of the LET Sustainability Initiative (LETSI).

Which golf club knows its carbon footprint? In gen Which golf club knows its carbon footprint? In general, the topic of the golf industry's carbon footprint is difficult, as there are few published numbers and only a few event hosts, federations, or tour officials have developed strategies to reduce their emissions. 

GC Kitzeberg in Germany is a well-known but not very big club whose board members decided to act positively: They commissioned a report from a credible external consultancy, realised that "we have to become better," and started working on the first projects. Buying some new electric mowers is one of the steps. Communication with the membership was important, but successful. 

The journey isn't finished; many projects remain for the future. But what we like is the commitment to improve. Good luck for the next steps.

🌿✨ **Bois d’Arlon – Europe’s Living Lab for Next-G 🌿✨ **Bois d’Arlon – Europe’s Living Lab for Next-Gen Golf Resorts** ✨🌿

Nestled across 220 hectares of untouched nature in Belgian Luxembourg, the Bois d’Arlon Golf & Resort is more than just a golf destination – it is emerging as a future blueprint for sustainable, high-end golf resorts in Europe.

We visited the project, which was opened in 2024, to talk with the greenkeeping team and the investor Robert Schintgen about their vision of a high-end golf resort in Wallonie, where pesticides aren't allowed, and the rules for irrigation only allowed the use of collected rainwater and recycled water from the hotel. 

With two distinct courses – a challenging 18-hole Heathland layout and a scenic 9-hole Parkland course – the resort combines **world-class design, biodiversity-rich landscapes, and year-round playability on sandy soil**. The vision blends sport and nature seamlessly, creating an immersive experience for golfers of all levels. ⛳🌱 

But Bois d’Arlon goes far beyond golf. The 4-star château hotel with 64 rooms, spa, restaurant, and event spaces positions the estate as a **fully integrated luxury ecosystem** where hospitality, wellness, and outdoor sports meet. 🏨🌳

What makes it stand out is its positioning as a future laboratory for sustainable resort development – demonstrating how modern golf destinations can evolve with nature rather than against it, while still delivering premium guest experiences.

Bois d’Arlon isn’t just a resort. It’s a model for how European golf destinations can redefine luxury through sustainability, landscape design, and long-term environmental thinking.

What happens when a golf club completely stops usi What happens when a golf club completely stops using fungicides over the winter? 🚫🍄 The result might surprise you.
With pesticide regulations tightening across Europe (including strict bans in Switzerland, France, and Belgium), the question for greenkeepers is no longer if chemical restrictions are coming, but when.

Michael Scheffold, Head Greenkeeper at GC Wörthsee (Germany), decided to do a real-world test run. This past winter, he completely dispensed with fungicides on his greens to see how they would react.

The verdict? Better than expected! Despite a little more snow mold, the greens recovered beautifully and by mid-May, they were almost as good as usual. 🌿

This success didn't happen by accident. It is the result of years of prioritizing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and mechanical measures to build robust, naturally resilient soil and grass. Supported fully by Club Managing Director Sven Hilgenberg, GC Wörthsee is actively future-proofing its course.

Proactive greenkeeping beats waiting for the ban! 📈⛳️

🚨 What does Donald Trump's new ballroom have to do 🚨 What does Donald Trump's new ballroom have to do with the environmental problems of East Potomac Golf Links? 

A growing environmental controversy is unfolding at East Potomac Golf Links: according to reports by the New York Times and the U.S. National Park Service, thousands of cubic meters of soil and construction debris from the demolition work at the White House East Wing were deposited on the public golf course — including material reportedly contaminated with lead, chromium, pesticides, and other hazardous substances. 

The site is planned to become part of a future championship golf course redevelopment. Environmental groups and local residents, however, are raising serious concerns about potential impacts on ecosystems, waterways, and public access to one of Washington’s most historic municipal golf facilities. 

What makes the case especially sensitive: the golf course sits directly along the Potomac River and has long served as an accessible public space for golfers, walkers, and families alike. Critics warn the project could come at a high environmental and social cost. 

💬 The story is another reminder of how closely golf, urban development, and environmental responsibility are connected — and why transparency and sustainable land management matter for the future of the game.

Yes, the Masters Tournament and Augusta National G Yes, the Masters Tournament and Augusta National Golf Club are all about exclusivity. But it is important to realise that the whole town of Augusta has to agree with this concept and tradition. 

There is a huge economic value that comes with the tournament week, but there are other soft factors that secure the acceptance of The Masters in the town. 

The renovation of the municipal course at The Patch, plus the opening of The Loop at The Patch, is good news for the local community. Affordable, good golf is important to grow the game. Here, the Masters Charity Funds, First Tee of Augusta, and Augusta Technical College have teamed up to finance this important project.

Due to a new classification of land use, the use of herbicides will be completely banned, whilst other plant protection products will be subject to much stricter regulations. 
The issue of #health protection is becoming increasingly important on sports grounds. This development is also relevant for golf courses in Germany and Austria. Here too, plant protection products are often the last resort in combating fungal diseases on greens.
We have talked to experts in Switzerland. The good news: some agronomists also see positive consequences arising from the regulation.
