GOLFING DEALS AROUND THE CZECH REPUBLIC

The Czech Republic lies in the heart of Europe. Prague, the capital, known as the Golden city or the City of a hundred spires, has been a popular city break destination for some time and is now emerging as a remarkable destination for Golf.

Top quality golf has a long tradition in Czech Republic. The first golf courses were open in the west of the country in the spa towns of Karlovy Vary in 1904 and in 1905 in Marianske Lazne. Since this time the Czech Republic has hosted many golfi ng events and in recent years the European Tour has returned. With a low number of Czech Golfers, it makes it a heaven for golf tourist.

Beyond West Bohemia, there is an increasing selection of championship courses around Prague; most of them within a 30 – 45 minute drive from the city centre. There are many other excellent courses in the North and South Moravia areas including Celadna the current Czech Republic host to the European Tour. All this, plus the beautiful countryside and many historical highlights will bring breadth and depth to any golfi ng break.

Although the Czech Republic has more than 80 golf clubs, our golf professionals have reviewed and evaluated all the courses to ensure we are offering superior level golf. In this brochure we have chosen the most attractive and popular golfi ng regions to be discovered in the country.

Feel free to browse through the select regions, golf courses and hotels presented within these pages.

Being 700 metres above sea level is not the only ‘high point’ of this course. The parkland type course established since 1998 rewards golfers that give respect to its layout.

You are likely to enjoy this course, the fresh mountain air as well as the wacky and inventive design of the clubhouse with a statue of a giant jubilant golfer, which further underlines the warm and friendly atmosphere. The Clubhouse was awarded in 2003 as the best construction in South Moravia.
