While the club is one of the oldest in Germany, the course at the present site is quite a bit newer and has gone through several makeovers, so it comes across as a fairly modern layout. The name Dye Designs is of course a big draw and, as far as Germany goes, also a unique selling point. However, it is equally clear that Perry Dye is not Pete. There are a few eccentric features on a handful of holes, but overall it's a parkland track like many others. While the standard of build and maintenance is fairly high, there are actually a number of discernible weaknesses, first and foremost the very loamy soil that doesn't drain well at all. The second point would be the busy road bisecting the course, which can be heard all over the A course and on parts of the B and C course as well. Finally, none of the three 9 hole loops starts and ends at the clubhouse, so for most combinations there will be a longer walk involved at some point.

On the plus side the routing makes the most of the slight undulations of the site, which could have easily amounted to nothing with a less careful design. There's a bit of movement in the greens as well and the bunkering hasn't been overdone. It certainly looks like the club has spent a lot of money, but perhaps too much of it on intangibles. As it is, the course will be in top condition for only a small part of the year. However, its proximity to the wealthy neighborhoods of Munich may allow - or even call - for different priorities. On a nice summer day it will undoubtedly provide a great experience, because the whole place has style and elegance. And, to be fair, many other courses in Southern Bavaria are also loamy, albeit in differing degrees of severity.
