Golf in Germany

We are looking for good public golf courses in Germany near Baden-Baden, Rothenberg ob der Tauber, Bacharach, and Bad Wimpfen.
Thanks!

Why don't you just Google Golfing in Germany?
You'll get solid official information rather than personal opinions.

There's probably one closer to Bad Wimpfen, but the only course I know of within an hour's radius is just outside of Bennsheim, about halfway between Heidelberg and Darmstadt.

The US army formerly operated a golf course just outside of Heidelberg, but I have no idea what happened to this. Whether it's now a public access course, private club, or lying vacant, I couldn't say.

Of those listed by Chris, the course in St. Leon-Rot is probably the closest to your two destinations in Baden-Württemberg. Probably about an hour's drive from each.

Thank you, Tom and Chris, for taking time to list specific courses. We will investigate and work them into our travels. Again, I do appreciate your help.

You are very welcome.

It appears that the course in St. Leon-Rot is open to the public (but I did not check the other courses on the above list). The course's contact info. is:
