Linzer-Luftenberg
Set out across the fertile floodplain in the River Danube, on the fringes of Linz the course is situated at Linzer Golf Club Luftenberg is one of the 1991 Keith Preston design that stretches up to 6,038m at the back of the tees (playing to 72 holes) with gorgeous water features appearing on numerous holes, both on the back and front nine.
There's more than one hazard to stay clear of here, since there's a good amount of sand bunkers that are strategically positioned on the course and huge tree stands are situated around the majority of holes. A bridge under the main road links the land that contains holes 2-8 to the rest on the golf course.
Some of the highlights holes are pair of tough right doglegging par fours on The 3rd hole and the 16th (rated by stroke index 1, 2) and the most compact par three on the golf course at the 15th, which measures 149 metres. After a round, the chicly refurbished clubhouse, which was the former 18th century Luftenberg castle - can be the perfect spot to relax.
Since 2020, numerous of adaptations to the course were implemented in the work of the architect Diethard Fahrenleitner.
