The Karlštejn Golf Resort is one of the most beautiful golf courses in Europe, and one of the most visited resorts in the Czech Republic.
In 2019, more than 20,000 golfers played at the 27-hole golf course. The wooded hilly countryside with limestone rocks and rich fauna and flora is an oasis of peace and quiet, and it is only 45 minutes by car from the centre of the Czech capital city of Prague.
The first 18 holes, opened in 1993, were designed by famous Canadian architects Les Furber and Jim Eremko. After three years of construction, the first golfers were welcomed at the new 18-hole golf course with a unique view of the medieval Karlštejn Castle. The third nine-hole course was added to the original 18-hole golf course in 2008. Its construction on the southern side of Voškov hill was again entrusted to the architects Furber and Eremko.
Sensitive integration into the original terrain near the nature reserve gave rise to a unique golf course with full-grown trees, a deep ravine, water reservoirs and a few sand barriers that liven up the game and create an incredibly attractive environment for even the most demanding players. “Easy bogey but difficult birdies” was the main motto of the course architects, thanks to which players with even quite different handicaps can play together.
In 1997, Golf Resort Karlštejn hosted a four-day PGA tournament. Patrik Sjöland, a Swede, holds the course record of only 61 shots. Karlštejn is one of the best golf courses around Prague.
