Golfclub Adamstal Franz Wittmann, Austria

The Adamstal golf course is one of the most spectacular golf courses in Europe, a concept initiated by Franz Wittmann, an 11 times Austrian rally champion. Built right in the middle of nowhere, the Irish golf course designer Jeff Howes created a treasure which astounds everyone who plays on this course. Spectacular golf alleys and excellent course maintenance led the golf course fast into the top league of Austria.

Its terrific design and immaculate maintenance mean it is one of the finest courses available. Golfers can choose between the 18-hole Championship Course and the 9-hole ‚Wallerbach‘ Course. Each of the twenty-seven holes has its own character, as the course designer has successfully integrated ditches and terraces, forest glades and rocks into the wonderful landscape. This means that the foothills of the Alps determine the shape and rhythm of the fairways and greens naturally.

You may not be surprised to learn that the golf course was voted three times the ‘Austrian Golf Course of the Year’ by a jury of professionals. Only recently an online survey (the Golf Guide Award) listed this course among the top three of the most popular golf courses in Europe. Adamstal’s Championship Course is challenging – as the professionals on the European Challenge Tour, who have often been guests here, would confirm. Even so, the course is fine for golfers with any handicap, as there are up to five tees per hole.

Golf course president, Mr. Franz Wittmann, says: “There is hardly a golf course quite like Adamstal in the whole world. International guests are very enthusiastic, and playing the Adamstal golf course is a unique and unforgettable experience.”
