Vienna (2-hour drive) or Salzburg (30minute drive). Small changes – big impact: this is the motto of the golf club’s 2015 season.To satisfy the wishes and demands of the players, as well as to sensibly implement reactions and experiences from the game operations, small changes are planned for this year. For example, Tee 14 will be brought forward so that the tee shot becomes easier and that a 140-metre stroke across the biotope is no longer necessary. The drive landing zones will also be expanded onto tracks three and five and numerous simplifying measures through changes of cutting patterns are also planned. These adjustments seek to contribute to the continuous improvement of the golf course and create increased golf-
ing pleasure through the overall facilitation of golfing.“We are very family-friendly and thoroughly support the sport’s youth work. We believe that golf is one of the few sports that whole families can play together. Even people with different playing abilities and skills can play together too,”Andreas Hagara explains. Visitors planning a golf vacation here will certainly be greeted by a friendly, competent and experienced team that aspires to leave no wish unfulfilled. www.golfamattersee.at
