By motorhome on a golf trip: pitches right at the golf course

In summer the destinations that you can reach entirely without a flight play a bigger role. With a motorhome you have the hotel and the car in one. You drive from golf course to golf course and stay where you like it. In the morning you then walk only a few steps to the first tee. In this guide I show you golf facilities that take motorhomes. You also learn which rules apply there.

How the pitch at the golf course works

A golf club is not a campsite. The golf facilities mostly have only two to five pitches. What you get there also differs from club to club. You may come across these three kinds of offers.

• A pitch of its ownThe club has designated pitches with electricity. Often there is also water there and access to the showers and toilets in the clubhouse.
• Car park by arrangementThe club has no pitches of its own. It does allow parking in the car park, though, if you ask the club office beforehand.
• Not allowedSome clubs prohibit camping in the car park and on the driving range. One reason for that can be the conditions of a protected area.

1. Choosing the golf facilityOn the club's page you often find a note on motorhomes under the headings for guests or green fees.
2. Registering beforehandYou call the club office or write an e-mail. At several clubs this registration is compulsory.
3. Booking the tee time as wellTogether with the pitch I would reserve the tee time straight away, because some clubs only give out the pitch together with a green fee.
4. Reporting to the club officeOn arrival you register and pay. You can ask about electricity, water and the key for the showers at the same time.

A golf club has two to five pitches and no site warden. If you do not register, you may find yourself in front of a full car park.

Golf facilities with a pitch in Germany

These eight golf facilities name their offer for motorhomes on their own page. I read the prices there on 13 November 2026.

Further golf facilities are listed in a directory of the regional golf association of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland as of 2024. There the Golf-Resort Bitburger Land names five pitches with electricity. Golf-Club Eifel in Hillesheim charges 10 euros per day including electricity and sanitary facilities. It only takes guests who also play golf. The golf facility Lietzenhof in the Eifel names 10 euros per night and 5 euros for electricity. According to the tourism company, Artland Golfclub in Ankum has 20 pitches for 18 euros per night with electricity, showers and Wi-Fi. With these clubs I would ask about the current situation before setting off.

The largest site in this list is Bad Waldsee with 35 pitches. The facility also takes caravans and has disposal for grey water and toilet cassettes. For a first golf trip by motorhome Bad Waldsee is therefore a good way to start, because there you do not have to worry about getting one of three pitches.

Pitches in Austria and the Netherlands

In the neighbouring countries there are also clubs that take motorhomes. In the Netherlands the night is mostly tied to a round.

Pitches in Denmark

In Denmark several clubs name the pitch in their offer for guests. You pay in kroner there. The electricity and the bathroom are mostly included in the price.

You drive to Denmark on the motorway or take the ferry from Puttgarden to Rødby or from Rostock to Gedser. How you can secure the luggage in the vehicle and what the tolls and the ferries cost is explained in the guide By car on a golf trip.

What is allowed in the car park

Not every golf club wants to have motorhomes on its grounds. If you park without permission, the general rules for staying overnight in a vehicle apply in Germany.

According to the ADAC, outside campsites and motorhome pitches only an intermediate overnight stop is allowed. It serves to make you fit to drive again. For that you may park your vehicle anywhere where parking is not prohibited. That is not camping, however. So you may not set up chairs, barbecue or extend the awning.

The car park of a golf club is also private property. There the club decides. That is why I would never park overnight without an arrangement, even if the car park is empty in the evening.

What you can pack differently for the golf course

In a motorhome you have more room than in a boot and still less than at home. For a golf trip a little order is therefore worthwhile.

• Securing the golf bagsThe golf bags travel in the garage or in the storage space. During the drive they should be secured against shifting.
• Charging the batteryYou can charge the battery of your trolley at the power connection of the pitch. Beforehand I would ask whether there is a connection there.
• The showers in the clubhouseDepending on the golf facility you can use the showers and toilets in the clubhouse. You learn the opening hours at the club office.

On the pitch I would behave as I do on the golf course. In the evening it is quiet at a golf facility. If you keep to that, you are welcome there next time as well.

These five mistakes happen particularly easily on a golf trip by motorhome.

• You drive to a club with only three pitches without registering.
• You park in the car park of a club that does not allow motorhomes.
• You count on electricity and water and do not ask about them beforehand.
• You spread out in the car park with table, chairs and barbecue.
• You book the pitch and forget the tee time.

Checklist for the tour

• For every night a club that takes motorhomes has been fixed.
• The pitch and the tee time are registered with the club office.
• You know whether there is electricity, water and waste disposal.
• You have cash or a card with you for the pitch. In Denmark you need kroner or a card.
• The golf bags are secured in the storage space.
• The membership card of your golf club is on board.
