GOLF HOLIDAYS ZELL AM SEE
The best Zell am See golf courses for Austrian golfbreaks.

Ono of Austria's foremost Golf Clubs with 36-holes of golf spread across the broad, flat plain between Zell am See and Kaprun.  The courses take their names from the nearby mountains: Schmittenhöhe being the original and possibly the sterner test, characterised by fairly narrow fairways dotted here and there with original hay barns; a unique, and absolutely immovable, Austrian obstruction!

Kitzsteinhorn is a slightly more recent addition with roomier fairways bordered by frightening rough.  Both courses have their fair share of water features: Kitzsteinhorn however has the larger lakes.  The Clubhouse is modern with plenty of room on the patio for a sunny lunch in a spectacular setting encircled by Alpine glaciers.

The first few holes twist-and-turn through the farms behind the Clubhouse, the course then moves out onto some breathtaking terrain with holes running alongside the stark peaks of the Steinernes Meer ridge that characterises the region of Pinzgau.  The Clubhouse has an expansive patio for post-round relaxation where you can sip a foaming lager and watch the setting sun turn the granite rockface as orange as the local pumpkins.

Bucolic bliss across the flood plain of the Salzach river: holes criss-cross the streams and waterways where the land has been well-drained to create this pastoral test of golf. Not the longest course in Austria, however clever iron-play will be required to negotiate the streams and island greens.  A course for quiet contemplation - accompanied by resounding cowbells!

Sheer rockfaces peer down at you from both sides of this narrow valley. The course itself jumps backwards and forwards over the river which comes into play on nearly every hole.  Kill or cure for those with claustro or aqua phobia!

Other courses within striking distance:

Kitzbuhel-Schwarzsee Just outside the famous ski-town a course that begins with 12-holes on the flat then climbs rapidly into the hills providing some severley testing holes over the closing stages.

Kitzbuhel-Eichenheim On the outskirts of Kitzbuhel, one of the ultimate mountain golf experiences. Once played - never forgotten. The course is both stunning and amusing with roller coaster fairways and Greens slotted into narrow valleys. A stern test of golf, fitness and vertigo! Buggy strongly recommended for anyone over twenty.  Exclusive Clubhouse and impeccable course maintenance.
