Slovakia

Slovakia is landlocked and mountainous and it’s set in the heart of Europe where the Celts once lived in pre-Christian times. This was naturally long before the country was absorbed into the former Czechoslovakia. With a quiet and relaxed pace of life, Slovakia has wonderful architecture with medieval castles and cities. There's a delightful absence of commercialism and, for the time being at least, the country remains refreshingly quaint and congestion-free.

  1. Penati (Heritage)

    The layout of the Heritage course at the Penati Golf Resort is reminiscent of fragments from the numerous classic courses that were laid out on the famous sand belts of London and Melbourne.

  2. Penati (Legend)

    The Penati Golf Resort is set within a site blessed with sandy ground and pine trees. It’s an ideal property and Nicklaus Design etched the Legend, the first Slovakian 18-holer in the Golden Bear’s global collection...

    Gray Bear was the very first 18-hole championship golf course to open in Slovakia, nearly ten years after the Velvet Divorce with the Czech Republic in 1993.

  7. Red Oak

    Slovakia

    Red Oak

    Situated on hilly terrain just outside the expanding city of Nitra, the course at Red Oak Golf Club was designed by American architect Kenneth Williams with one eye on the need to incorporate future residential units around the property.

    Slovakia

    Welten

    Set out on the north bank of the Danube river, half an hour’s drive south of Bratislava, the course at Golf Club Welten occupies land that was once the property of Count Rudolf Wiener Welten. The state took over in 1948, converting the manor house to retirement home and then a social care institution, but everything was returned to the original owner’s daughter in 1996.

    Skalica
