History

Club History from 1984 to present day

Golfclub Markgräflerland Kandern was founded on the 18th of October 1984 by 30 founding members in the Town Hall of Kandern. However golf began some 18 months later in May 1986, on a temporary driving range which is now the first fairway. In the same year the club became a member of the Badischen Golf Federation (BGV). A year later they became a member in the German Golf Federation (DGV) and opened the driving range and present practice facilities. In 1988 the first nine holes (holes 1, 2 and 12 to 18) were opened, designed by the German golf course architect Karl F. Grohs.

The paperwork began in 1989 on extending the course to 18 holes. The club house and caddy house were opened in September 1991. In May 1994 work "Finally" began on the second nine holes (holes 3 to 11) designed by well known American golf course architect Bradford Benz. In August 1995 the moment was finally there and GC Markgräflerland was the proud owner of 18 holes.

Since 1995 the course and facilities have improved year by year. In 2001 the club became a member of the Swiss Golf Federation (over 70% of it’s members are Swiss). Since 2000 several top Regional and National Amateur Championships have taken place, as well as several Swiss PGA events. In 2004 the club celebrated it’s 20th anniversary and today is recognised as one of the top golf clubs in the “three-country corner”, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland and France meet.
