Golf in the Alps with Golden Lodges Rauris

The well-known golf platform Leading Courses already named Austria in 2005 as the golf discovery of the year. And it is also understandable that this was only discovered then. The oldest course in Austria, Golfclub Gastein and 15 km from Rauris, dates back to 1960, where in other countries you sometimes play on courses of more than 75 years and older. Currently Austria even gets an 8.8 as a golf destination. For both novice and experienced golfers. A conclusion that we can agree with.

170 fantastic golf courses in a beautiful setting

Austria currently has about 170 golf courses. The quality of the golf courses is very high. For example, where you can play golf all year round in the Netherlands, in Austria they are (usually) protected by snow and ice from the end of October to the end of March. Which obviously benefits the quality of the courses. The price level is very reasonable and the variety in golf courses enormous: from flat to very hilly and always in a different beautiful mountain setting. Due to the beautiful nature and the Austrian 'gemütlichkeit', Austria has been a popular holiday destination among golfers for decades.

Golf courses near our Golden Lodges Resort

Within a radius of 20 km from Golden Lodges you will find 5 beautiful 18-hole golf courses. One of the top courses in Austria, Zell am Zee – Kaprun, has no less than 36 holes. But if you do stay in your Golden Lodges apartment, a round of golf on Austria's most popular golf course, Golfclub Eichenheim, is well worth the hour's drive. Hole 1, overlooking the Wilder Kaiser, is even one of the top 3 holes in Europe. We give you 1 tip, rent a buggy or electric trolley at all times. You will not be used to the height and the heights between the holes are sometimes killing for the calves and are harsh on the condition. 

Golf Alpin Card for Salzburgerland and Tyrol

Just like in other countries, you can of course book a separate start time on different courses. But if you plan to play 2 or more courses during your stay at Golden Lodges, it is more convenient to use a so-called Golf Alpin Card. You save considerably on your green fee costs.

Golden Lodges Golf Service

As the owner of an apartment or guest of Golden Lodges, we are happy to help you book the t-times and purchase a Golf Alpin Card. We will also take care of that for you and after your round of golf you can relax and enjoy yourself from your balcony or with us in Bistro The Stube.
