The 5 Most Beautiful Golf Courses in Austria & Germany

Austria and Germany offer very different types of golf courses — from Alpine layouts to classic parkland courses. In this selection, we take a look at five well-known venues that stand out for their scenery, history or connection to tournament golf.

1. Golfclub Adamstal – Alpine golf in Lower Austria

Golfclub Adamstal is located in Lower Austria and is known for its Alpine terrain, significant elevation changes and integration into the surrounding landscape. The layout combines narrow sections, woodland, water and strongly undulating terrain, giving it a very different character from a flat parkland course.

2. Fontana Golf Club

Fontana Golf Club, south of Vienna, is a well-known Austrian golf venue with a championship character. Water features, bunkers and generously designed fairways shape the course. The venue has also hosted professional golf tournaments.

3. Golfclub Schloss Schönborn

Golfclub Schloss Schönborn in the Weinviertel combines golf with the setting of a historic castle park. The facility offers several golf holes within an extensive park landscape and is particularly interesting for players who appreciate golf architecture combined with a historic atmosphere.

4. Golf Club St. Leon-Rot

Golf Club St. Leon-Rot in Baden-Württemberg has two 18-hole courses and extensive practice facilities. The venue is known for hosting international and national tournaments and is one of the more prominent golf destinations in Germany.

5. Golfclub München Eichenried

Golfclub München Eichenried is closely associated with the BMW International Open and offers several course combinations. The venue combines parkland character with infrastructure designed for tournament golf.
