From 28 to 31 May 2026, world-class golf will take centre stage against an alpine backdrop. Among those competing is Austria\u2019s most successful golfer of all time, Sepp Straka \u2013 two-time Ryder Cup winner and four-time PGA Tour champion \u2013 making a long-awaited appearance in front of family, friends and a home crowd. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kitzbuehel.com\/en\/events\/dp-world-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.kitzbuehel.com\/en\/events\/dp-world-tour\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diverse golfing experience with comfort and flexibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tirol is not only a venue for top-level sport, but also a highly versatile golf destination. More than 20 golf clubs \u2013 including the 17 \u201cGolf Tirol\u201d partner clubs \u2013 offer a wide range of course styles, from flat valley layouts to demanding fairways set in alpine terrain. You can tee off at the foot of the Hahnenkamm, with views of the Wilder Kaiser, on sunny plateaus or surrounded by forests, meadows and striking peaks. It is precisely this blend of scenic beauty and sporting variety that defines golf in Tirol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golfers keen to sample the delights of several courses during a golf holiday will find the Golf Tirol Card a simple and flexible solution. Valid at 17 partner courses across the region, it allows you to choose freely between course types \u2013 from 9-hole layouts to full championship courses. The card can be shared by two people and remains valid until the end of the following season if not all rounds are used. Prices for the 2026 season are \u20ac297 for 3 green fees, \u20ac392 for 4 green fees and \u20ac485 for 5 green fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The range of services is complemented by 43 quality-approved golf hotels, many of them family-run and tailored specifically to the needs of golf guests. Expect warm, personal hospitality,<br>assistance with tee time reservations, secure storage for equipment and often a shuttle service to the course. All hotels combine golf packages with the Golf Tirol Card and are located no more than 25 kilometres from the nearest club \u2013 ensuring relaxed golfing in the<br>heart of the Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Golfen in Tirol\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uN1E-wmnlPs?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/presse.tirol.at\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes golf in Tirol so special<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Golf in Tirol is not only about beautifully located courses \u2013 it also offers some unique features that even seasoned golfers may find surprising. The Golfclub Reit im Winkl-K\u00f6ssen, for example,<br>is a cross-border course, with six holes in Austria and twelve in Germany. Golfing here quite literally means teeing off in one country and continuing in another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tirol also stands out in terms of quality: six of its courses are currently among the Leading Golf Courses of Austria, meaning that every second 18-hole course in Tirol belongs to this prestigious allinace. This recognition is based on a comprehensive quality assessment process, including anonymous testing of course maintenance, design and facilities \u2013 highlighting the exceptional concentration of top-level courses in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oldest golf course in Tirol is the Golf- &amp; Landclub Achensee, whose history dates back to the 1930s. Its origins read almost like a story from another era: in 1930, Dr Leopold Pasquali observed an English guest \u2013 the Archbishop of Canterbury \u2013 playing golf on a meadow used for grazing cattle. This inspired the idea of developing golf tourism at Lake Achensee. The club was founded in 1934, with Pasquali as its first president. In its early years, however, not everything ran smoothly: several fairways still crossed active pastures, leading to occasional disputes with local farmers. That the course is now considered one of the region\u2019s most traditional and high-quality courses makes its development all the more remarkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A very different chapter in Tirol\u2019s golfing story is written by Golfclub Seefeld-Wildmoos and Golfclub Seefeld Reith. At around 1,300 metres above sea level, they are Tirol\u2019s highest golf courses. The high plateau alone makes for a special round \u2013 and the altitude adds a subtle twist to the game: in thinner air, the ball often travels a little further than expected. Here, you don\u2019t just see the mountains \u2013 you feel them in your swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newer additions include the Golfclub Zillertal-Uderns and the Golfclub Kitzb\u00fcheler Alpen Westendorf, both opened in 2014. Today, both are part of the Leading Golf Courses of Austria and represent a modern approach, with challenging course design and high-quality infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The length of the golfing season in Tirol also varies noticeably by location. Courses such as the Mieminger Plateau Golf Club and Golfclub Zillertal-Uderns enjoy particularly long seasons.<br>The Mieminger Plateau benefits from its sheltered, sunny setting, while Uderns stands out for its relatively low altitude of 550 metres and favourable valley climate. As a result, the golf season in Tirol can begin early in some areas \u2013 and last well into autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blend of tradition, topography, quality and distinctive course stories is what defines golf in Tirol. From flat fairways and alpine courses to historic clubs and modern facilities, Tirol offers a golfing experience that holds a special place within Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about golfing in Tirol can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrol.com\/activities\/sport\/golfing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.tyrol.com\/activities\/sport\/golfing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As host of the Austrian Alpine Open 2026, Tirol is firmly establishing itself as an international golf destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":284946,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"region":[109],"coauthors":[292],"class_list":["post-286044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","region-tirol-werbung"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Golfing in Tirol - Presse.Tirol<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As host of the Austrian Alpine Open 2026, Tirol is firmly establishing itself as an international golf destination.
