Achensee

Situated at an altitude of 1,000 metres above sea level on the western slopes of Lake Achen, the largest lake in the Austrian Tyrol, Achensee Golf and Country Club was formed in 1934, making it one of the oldest clubs in the country. The original course was a 9-hole affair that remained in play for almost seventy years until it was expanded to a full 18-hole layout at the start of the new millennium.

Tree-lined fairways are laid out inside a 155-acre property within the Karwendel Alpine Park, where the course is complemented by an 18-bay driving range, practice chipping and putting greens and a bunker for perfecting sand shot skills. It’s a modern golf facility located in a truly spectacular Alpine setting, with golfers enjoying wonderful views in all directions.

The course extends to 6,018 metres from the back markers, with par rated at 71, and it features five par three holes, the longest of which is played at the 18th. You’ll encounter the toughest hole on the card at the 505-metre 4th, where the fairway runs alongside a stream for most of its length before veering sharply left towards the green on the other side of the water.
