The Curt Hitch part # C11066 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2004 Volkswagen Golf GTI. The hitch itself has the towing capacities of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. As long as your trailer stays under this figure and the towing capacities that are listed for your vehicle in the owners manual you would be good to go.
To complete your towing setup you may also be interested in purchasing the following:
Draw-Tite Wiring # 119178KIT (installation instructions and video attached)
Hitch Ball 1-7/8 inch # 19256
Ball Mount # C45510
