Why golf is good for you
Golf is one of the few games that naturally combines stamina, concentration and sociability, at almost any age.
A round on the Südplatz means several hours in the fresh air, a few kilometres on foot and thousands of steps, without it feeling like exercise. The movement is easy on the joints, and you set the pace yourself: from a brisk walk to a leisurely stroll between shots.
The mind matters just as much: every shot demands focus, judgement and a steady hand. This mix of concentration and letting go is surprisingly relaxing and a welcome balance to everyday life. Playing regularly also trains coordination, balance and mobility along the way.
Golf grows with you. Beginners start with the Platzreife course and then play on the public 9-hole Nordplatz or on the practice grounds; families play together, and even after years, the appeal of developing your own game never fades. Because the sport is so gentle, it stays with many people well into old age: as a hobby, as exercise, and as a standing arrangement with friends.
At Löwenhof, all of this comes together with a landscape that invites you to breathe: wide views across the Wetterau, peace away from the city, and greens that change with the seasons. Here, health isn't a programme — it's a pleasant side effect of the game.
