The European Alps harbour a huge selection of excellent courses in a variety of countries that enable you to escape the summer heat of other golfing destinations and enjoy your game in the cool, dry, mountain air surrounded by dramatic snow capped peaks. For example enjoy a cross border multicultural challenge and play three great courses in three different countries in as many days. Base yourself at one of the many excellent spa hotels on the Carinthian lakes in southern Austria and enjoy the plethora of quality courses across the region. Just 30 kilometres to the south west across the Italian border lies Tarvisio Golf and Country club with 18 classic alpine holes. 50 kilometres to the south east of your base in Austria, across the Slovenian border, you can enjoy the hidden gem that is the Kings Course at Bled. There are a further 9 holes on the Lake Course, which at the time of writing is being upgraded to a full 18 holes to make this a serious golfing destination in its own right.
