Golf holiday resorts in Austria – Alpine Golf

If you are looking for great golf, spectacular scenery, quality accommodation, outstanding value and a warm, friendly welcome, look no further than Golf in Austria.

When we first visited Austria’s Golf courses, we were quite simply amazed by the quality of the golf courses: Championship courses abound and the standard of maintenance from tee to green is first class.

Contrary to what many imagine, the courses are not perched on the side of the mountain requiring the fitness and agility of a mountain goat: In fact, the majority of the courses are surprisingly flat and occupy the valley floor framed by majestic mountain scenery.

Many of our guests have played golf across Europe and come to Austria looking for something new and exciting. They are not disappointed: The golf is challenging, better value and the fairways relatively un-crowded.

When to go

By early April, most of the winter snow has melted in the valleys and the golf courses are generally open from late April until mid-October. We would recommend travelling any time from the middle of May until late September.

Typical summer temperatures are in the mid to high 20°s and, whilst mountain weather can often be changeable, rainfall is typically only of a short duration leaving the air fresh and clear.

Golf in Austria

All of the golf courses we feature offer a very high standard of maintenance and the quality of the Club facilities are also consistently high with all courses offering a bar and restaurant with local and international cuisine, pro shop, equipment hire, lessons, driving range and changing facilities. The Clubhouses are smart yet friendly and informal and the Clubs extend a very warm welcome to visiting golfers.

There is, of course, no getting away from the scenery that surrounds the golf courses and lush countryside, blue skies, spectacular vistas, and huge amounts of fresh mountain air await visitors.

As an added bonus, would you believe that your golf ball actually flies that little bit further in the thinner mountain air?

Golf in Austria : Where to go?

We have chosen three distinct golfing areas for your golf holiday in Austria which are all ideal for either a short break or a week’s stay. You can also combine a stay in two or more of these areas.

If you are looking for stunning mountain scenery as a backdrop then Kitzbühel, with its medieval cobbled centre and smart shops and cafes, has some excellent golf courses locally and within easy driving distance.

Zell am See, overlooked by the snow-capped peaks of the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier is a popular lakeside resort town offering two championship courses locally and plenty more within easy striking distance.

Salzburg and the Salzburger Lake District offer rolling hills in contrast to the jagged peaks of Kitzbühel and Zell am See. Birthplace of Mozart and home to an old town full of character, Salzburg is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city. To the east of Salzburg lies the Salzburg Lake District (Salzkammergut).

Salzburg, Innsbruck and Munich (Germany) are the main gateway airports.

Golf Alpin – Green fee packages in Austria

The ‘Golf Alpin’ card offers a bundle of three or five green fees on over thirty golf courses in the regions of Tirol and Salzburgerland. Green fees are valid at weekends and on public holidays and offer a saving over purchasing individual green fees (typically €60-€90 a round).

We usually include the Golf Alpin Green Fee bundle within our hotel and golf packages. However, the 5 Green Fee card can be purchased for around £269.
