Golf makes possible what few other sports do. You can go golfing alone, with friends or with the whole family.As the sport is becoming more and more common on family holidays, golf enthusiasts choose their holiday destination based on whether there is a good golf course nearby.
There is an 18-hole golf course in Bad Gastein, in the middle of the Hohe Tauern National Park. This course is managed by one of Austria's oldest golf clubs - GolfclubGastein, founded in 1960.
The Gastein 18 offers views of the majestic Austrian Alps. The course is a combination of hilly and flat landscape with some holes set amidst old mature trees and romantic floodplain forest. Wide fairways and well-groomed greens guarantee a playing experience for golfers of all abilities.
For beginners there is a golf school and of course good training facilities.
On the course you can refresh yourself in five drinking water fountains. One fountain even offers thermal water. After your game, the typical Alpine clubhouse with its large terrace offering unbeatable views of the surrounding panorama will surely tempt you to relax and refresh yourself.
Away from the noise of everyday life, golfers are sure to enjoy a well-deserved rest and relaxation.
Because many golfers want to pursue their passion even in bad weather, there is an indoor golf course in operation. This course offers a 3D simulator, which is used to train experienced golfers who want to practice their swings or analyse the swing and spin-rate of the ball. Golf novices can try out their first swings and prepare for their golfing debut.Those who are really serious about golf can take a lesson from Adam Fisher, who heads the Gastein Golf School. It is possible to attend an introductory lesson or take a comprehensive course.
All equipment can be rented on site or purchased directly from the Pro ShopGolfclubGastein.
The new season starts every year in mid-April with the traditional Ski & Golf Competition, which is a combination of a giant slalom in the Sportgastein area and a stableford tournament. A large number of tournaments are held throughout the season.

Tournaments are held annually. The dates for the next one can be found at https://www.gastein.com/cz/udalosti/
