Golf in Austria

The unique charm of Austria’s golf courses is their setting, with this country’s memorable landscapes as an ever-present background. This is true of the courses high up in the Alps as much as it is those in the undulating hill-country.

Given this dense network of courses and their relative proximity, in the course of a golfing holiday in Austria you can conveniently visit several courses. There are several money-saving programmes which include the green fees and the opportunity to try a different course every day. Austria’s golf hotels also offer various packages in which the green fees are included.

If you have a hankering to learn this fascinating sport, Austria is an ideal place to start. There are golf schools with highly qualified pros as instructors throughout Austria. Many golf clubs have their own training facilities – The Golf Academy in Seefeld, for instance (with a regular 6-hole course in the middle of the town), or the golf schools in St. Michael im Lungau, Radstadt, Bad Kleinkirchheim, Pörtschach, or the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Bad Tatzmannsdorf.

The Holiday Specialist “Golf in Austria” provides a selection of special packages in about eighty golf hotels and more than forty golf courses in Austria.
