Golfmuseum Regensburg

A truly unique experience — it’s like walking through time (or better said, down into a secret golfer’s cave) from Dutch beginnings on ice to the legendary greens of St. Andrews. The Golf Museum Regensburg houses an extensive and fascinating collection of balls, clubs, and artworks, beautifully presented by golf historian Peter Insam. An absolute must-visit for anyone with even a hint of curiosity about the game’s history.

Peter Insam has put together an amazing display containing a lifetime of collecting golf items. I await his forthcoming book on the true origins of golf predating Scotland. I was privileged to meet this gentleman who shared his pride and love in this collection that is a “must-see” who appreciates golf as more than just a sport.

A must visit if you are traveling with a ‘golf aficionado’! The museum is a bit hard to find as it’s inside an antique store and down a spiral staircase. The owner is currently writing a book about the start of golf in the Nordic region not in Scotland.

What a surprise to find, history that I wasn't aware of, and happy to have found! History and golf enthusiasts will enjoy

Wonderful Museum with the biggest collection of old golf balls, clubs, bags and even books and jewellery with golf symbols. Very kind man, who is really interested in golf give you details about golf history and some unusual facts about that sport. “Kolf” golf equipment used in Netherlands during 17./18. century

Very informative. Owner ,Peter, very knowledgeable. Not long. Certainly worth the 7.50Euros. Owner also gave a great tip on a pastry/coffee shop

Excellent collection & displays to browse for a golfer. Never knew golf was invented in Netherlands! Many years of special collectibles all here . Nice owner & family, with adjoining fine jewelry store as well. Definitely worth a visit.

Located underneath a jewelry shop is a hidden gem of a museum. A wonderful collection of all things golf. I, myself don't play, and only occasionally watch it on tv. However, this museum was gave me such an appreciation for the sport. You see the hard work of players and spectators alike, in the dozens and hundreds of years in artefacts and antiques. I seriously recommend to anyone with a love for history and collections, as well as golf. Perhaps this visit will spark an intrigue in a long beloved sport.

We had an incredibly interesting visit today. The history of where golf truly began was so surprising. We were treated to a personal tour and then took our time to examine the artifacts in the museum. Many humorous and informative pictures of art are displayed. Well worth the price of admission, especially if you are a golfer!

This place is fascinating! The proprietors passion and knowledge was infectious. You do not want to miss this even if you are not a golfer. I won't spoil the surprise but if you go you will be among the few people in the world who know the truth about the origin of golf! Highly recommend!
