Austria
Golf in Austria: a land of mountains, Austria has quickly built up a number of golf courses which are the ideal complement to the country’s many skiing resorts. Often located in idyllic natural settings, the picture postcard appearance of most courses is a joy to behold for foreign visitors. With Alpine golf, greens surrounded by vineyards and courses attached to luxurious spa resorts, it is hard to overlook Austria’s rise as a veritable destination for golfing holidays. To make the most of your golfing trip, and to help in your planning, you can look up the location of the best courses in Austria on our customised maps.
