The most beautiful golf regions for your golf vacation in Austria
A golf vacation in Austria combines a sporting challenge with impressive nature. When playing golf in Tyrol, you can expect well-maintained courses with mountain views - for example in Kitzbühel (4 golf courses await you right in the legendary Gamsstadt!), in Westendorf or in Ellmau am Wilden Kaiser. Here you can play against an impressive mountain backdrop, often in the immediate vicinity of your accommodation.
The Salzburger Land scores with golf courses in Radstadt with its unique golf gondola, Zell am See and Mittersill. The game between glaciers, lakes and traditional mountain villages is particularly appealing.
Further south, Carinthia attracts with its mild climate and Mediterranean flair. Golf courses such as those in Velden am Wörthersee and around Villach or the Nassfeld Golf course in Hermagor offer plenty of sunshine and short distances to the nearest bathing lake in addition to a variety of games.
Styria also has a lot to offer golf fans - from the "wooden town" of Murau on the Kreischberg to hilly courses in southern Styria. Regional cuisine, plenty of peace and quiet and authentic flair make every round of golf special.
Whether you are just starting out or are already playing with a single handicap: A golf vacation in Austria brings variety, sporting moments and real relaxation - from the mountains to the lakes. Many golf courses are very close to fully equipped, sometimes exclusive vacation apartments or vacation homes from ALPS RESORTS.

The perfect place for your golf vacation in Austria
The selection of well-maintained golf courses in Austria is impressive. What should you look out for when choosing your vacation golf region?
- Check playing ability: While rookies look for courses with generous fairways, few water hazards and an on-site driving range, experienced golfers look for challenging course architecture, fast greens and tournament experience. The Course Rating value (CR value) indicates how difficult a golf course is for a scratch golfer. It is calculated from the length of the course and factors such as bunkers, water hazards and fairway width.
- Location and view: Do you value mountain views, lake views, flat plains for a relaxed game of golf? Which excursion destinations or towns are nearby?
- Facilities and services at the golf course: Driving range, putting green, pro store, golf cart rental, golf school, courses for beginners and children? Is there a restaurant and a terrace for the "19th tee"?
- Special features and experience factor: Do you prefer signature holes with a real wow effect or tranquil nature?
- Course photos and online reviews: Images of the golf courses and testimonials from other golfers are helpful: click through online reviews, for example on Google Maps, golf platforms or social media.
- Proximity to accommodation: Ideal if your golf accommodation - hotel, vacation apartment or vacation home - is located directly on the golf course like the Berg & Golf Resort Westendorf and the Tauernresidence Radstadt - or is only a few kilometers away.
