Melvyn,
thank you so much for posting these articles - I am of course aware of the history of all three golf clubs, but these newspaper articles are new to me and therefore very interesting.
The course on the Dresden-Reick horse race track was closed after the outbreak of WWI and did not reopen.
At Oberhof the club committee decided in 1910 to expand/lengthen the golf course, that was probably also a result of the low
rounds being played by the professionals in 1909. Certainly the non-favourable comments made by the British and French professionals on the length and congestion ot the Oberhof golf course did the rest.
Munich Golf Club is celebrating its centenary in 2010, the article you have posted from September 1909 gives the impression they are one year late, unless of course the club was founded after the course was opened.
All three courses are defunct today, the old Munich course was closed in the late 1930s whereas Oberhof was closed in 1951 by the
communists. The "Herzoglicher Golf-Club Oberhof" has been reestablished some years ago and there are plans and hopes to reopen the old course, in the not to distant future - for further information (in German language only) see also

Greetings
