Hard to play
Anyone who is sporty can walk relaxed with an e-trolley.
Even on hot days it's good because there's a lot of forest

Very varied mountain course
Reviewed September 27, 2023
I played a round in late summer in great weather. As expected for a place in the mountains, there is a lot of up and down, which makes it so interesting. The fairways and greens were in top condition.
It was pleasantly empty, so I could enjoy the round. Staff in the secretariat and in the restaurant were very friendly.

Sporty layout
Reviewed August 24, 2023
Reception very friendly, tees sometimes not well maintained, bumpy and little lawn, fairways very well maintained, but almost always slopes, greens actually good, but almost nobody improves their pitch marks here. Bunker too little sand and partly with stones, so not good. Sometimes very long distances to the next tee, due to the additional Alpine terrain (more than hilly) for someone who is not good on foot, a car is a clear recommendation. Ate very well in the club restaurant.

Interesting golf afternoon
Reviewed September 19, 2022
Very friendly and courteous staff.
As already mentioned, the individual paths to the tees are a bit long. A cart is therefore really recommended.
The greens were in sensational and fast condition, I could hardly get used to them, and then the beautiful round was already over!
The entire course also paid tribute to the long drought, but was still in very good condition.
I'd love to play there again, even though I got pretty wet the last few holes that day.
If you love variety, you just have to play the course!!

Simply beautiful
Reviewed July 31, 2021
A very nice and varied course, with some short but interesting par 4's. The small and really well-tended greens you have to play carefully on some holes, because they are not very large, partly guarded by bunkers and often sloping left and right.
We played the course for the first time and I would recommend a cart. Is clearly more relaxed.
Very nice and helpful staff.
Can definitely recommend the course and will definitely play it again.

Great Place
Reviewed June 7, 2021
On a dry day we played 18 holes in Velten. Even when I search, I can't find anything bad. Great reception, space in perfect condition despite days of rain (praise to the greenkeepers). Sometimes narrow and then again generous fairways to play on. You have to play this place. But if you love it, you should take a cart.
Thanks again for the great time

Beautiful golf course
Reviewed September 2, 2019
Velden is a beautiful golf course, which offers just 10-18 beautiful railways. Generally you should have a good condition to be able to cope with the 18 holes on foot. The greens were very fast and not easy to read.
Overall, the leading course is demanding. The club offers various actions (including buggy), etc., but beware (!!!) even the time of day decides the height of their fairy (and I'm not talking about Early Bird or Sundowner!)!
95, - € Fee from 12.00-16.00 per person is the most expensive fairy on the Wörthersee, that's not worth the highly praised course at the end! From my point of view (700 golf courses in Europe) 50, - € - max. 75, - €, would be ok!
Read the greenfee page on the website exactly (it's worth it anyway)! The kitchen after the round was good!

Very well-maintained complex
Reviewed August 17, 2019
We played the course in August 2019 and spent a great time here.
We immediately noticed the very friendly welcome in the secretariat and the very friendly service in the restaurant.
The complex is beautifully designed and extremely well maintained. Even small details will be noticed.
The place was except for a few small dry spots on some fairways in very good condition. The place was overall lush green, very well-kept and beautifully landscaped water hazards, good greens, very good bunkers.
The course is a parkland course with many trees, often narrow fairways, very many slopes in all directions.
Since the place is really hilly and the paths between green and next tee are often longer, I would recommend a cart.
If you can not hold the ball, you will have less fun with the game.
We would recommend the place!

Very good with smears
Reviewed May 17, 2019
Golf course: Very nice ambience, Altbaumbestand, mountains - it's allways uphill and downhill including one or the other quite decent slopes...
Course condition: juicy, dense rough. Fairways except for a few exceptions perfectly. Greens were aerated - but they seem to be very good.
Conclusion: A place in beautiful surroundings - but a bit too many slopes. Certainly worth a visit, but there are better Leading Golf Courses.

Unsatisfied
Reviewed October 9, 2018
Were just on the round and are disappointed. Bad, very bumpy roads. The grass around the green is sometimes very high. The greens are different fast. Many bad places at fairway. The scariest thing, however, was that we were escorted by several mowers for 18 holes. One can say clearly that everything together does not correspond to a leading golf course. We will not be back.

Hello Sandrab!

With the ways we still catching up, there I give you right. Unfortunately, we can not raise asphalt for environmental reasons. But we are working on it.
However, the course maintenance is excellent, as we are always confirmed by our guests and the independent testers of the "Leading Golf Courses" (which anonymously testing !!). Nevertheless, our greenkeepers can only work during the day as well as in all other places in the world!
We look forward to seeing you again!

We were due to the comments on a very strict day of golf prepared. But on foot with Elektrotrollys no problem. At first time a good score to play, well we did not succeed. But the place is varied, well maintained and always worth a visit. Speaking of value, during the week 85 euros are safe in this region at the top end. Well, have fun

The service very good. The place after a rainy night in great condition. The greens very fast, the PinPositions maybe a bit borderline at one point or another, so 3 putts were not always avoidable.

Beautiful place in the mountains
Reviewed August 18, 2018
We played on the pitch in June and he really liked us.
The place is beautifully situated in a hilly landscape and thus there is only uphill and downhill. For this reason and the often long paths between the tracks it is recommended to take a cart. On some tracks, water comes into play and some tracks have to be played blind, which also makes the attraction to a strange place. Trains 9 and 18 end at the clubhouse with a beautiful terrace, which is recommended after the round.
We were well received and will definitely come back.

Real challenge
Reviewed August 11, 2018
A very hilly top well-kept place you should definitely play. Here you have to work with the landscape which makes it particularly appealing.
If you do not know the course, you will not find any distance information on the respective course description boards that identifies water or bunkers from the tee. Too bad that also no birdie book was to get.
I still like to come back.

A real challenge
Reviewed June 21, 2018
We played the course in mid-June and are thrilled. We wanted to play a place in the mountains and have found a great golf course here. If you are looking for flat tracks, this is the wrong place, only track 17 was flat. On all other tracks it went uphill and downhill. And the place must be played with tactics, because I can only agree with the reviews. But that's exactly what makes this place so special. We were lucky and not a flight behind us. So we could orient ourselves well on the perfect signage at each hole and set our game tactics hole by hole. Straight punches are important, otherwise the place swallows balls, that's right. The driver therefore remained in the bag. Slopes, biotopes and water hazards must be carefully mastered.
The place and the whole area was well maintained and the staff was super friendly. For anyone looking for a challenge in the mountains, only recommended. But please with Car. Thanks to the previous reviewers!
Come back for sure!

Great varied place
Reviewed February 20, 2018
A real highlight in Carinthia. Very well-kept place with beautiful holes. Being built into the hilly landscape, feeling for slopes and locations or tactical play is required. Certainly not a "highway golf". Going on foot in the summer is also a real challenge in terms of fitness - if necessary, take a cart!
Staff in the clubhouse very courteous, restaurant invites you to linger with stunning mountain views.

A great place to play
Reviewed September 1, 2017
Is the Velden Köstenberg. I was lucky with a pro on a round with course management to be on the road and that was good. If you do not know the place, you will not only lose lots of balls but also make some strategic mistakes. The place is not easy, if one has problems with the sling direction, one is mercilessly punished. Length is secondary (finally once ...). The greens are fast and particularly vicious when you play in the morning, because some are in the sun from the beginning and are correspondingly fast, some come only gradually into the sunlight and therefore need more speed. Impressive is the square care, which is not self-evident in a summer like this. Training facilities and secretarial services are top. Rightly a leading course, bravo.

The first time this year played in August. Unfortunately it will have been the last time.
We would like to emphasize the friendliness of the staff (reception and restaurant) as well as the care of the place.
However, this place is really playable only for the initiated. If you have to play to the right, that somewhere the ball remains to the left, another time, then again to the left must play so that the ball about somewhere at the fairway remains, is for me no golf.
Actually a pity, the responsible ones are certainly a lot of trouble.

Hello golf rookie,
Many thanks for the positive feedback!
Since golf is a game in the wild, it is obvious that the slopes are to be considered. These are however available on every place. One more, the other less. And admittedly, our place is a challenge for many. But getting just straight out like on a highway will surely get boring with time, right?
Would still be glad to welcome you again on our plant.

Leading Golf Course, which deserves the name
Reviewed June 27, 2017
Was in the course of the Strawberry-Tour guests in this club, the location alone worth a big plus. Beautifully embedded in the landscape, you feel comfortable from the beginning.
If you are only traveling with a trolley, you should already bring a certain condition, since it usually goes uphill / downhill. You can also practice slopes here. Afterwards the beer on the beautiful terrace at least deserved ;-)
Place 1a. Fast, springtime, but strongly ondulated greens.
If you like the place in the Adamstal, feel right here at home (like me).
Keep it up!

Remember climbing boots
Reviewed September 4, 2016
We had only 9 holes and were glad that we were able to stop it. The course is very hilly and you often see not where you hinspielt, making it a player with longer blows hard. A non-specific impact usually leads to direktemBallverlust (high rough, habitats, slopes, knolls). On some holes (eg hole 7), one would not be surprised if down a ski lift would be. We had been there also never experienced that we had to cancel us to return after 2 3/4 hours at the secretariat. The practice facilities are great and the greens also, unfortunately, no distance information on the signs out of the total length. Our opinion (Hcp 9 and 17): Scenic a very beautiful place, not recommended for serious golfers.

Carinthian mountain place
Reviewed June 14, 2015
Forewarned of the reviews, we have now mastered the course with cart. The course is hilly and very steep, most fairways visible to the flag... so very fair. The greens were partially filled with not patched pitch marks. On the back nine the fairways are partly badly burned, in the roughs there are unpleasant holes. 2 fairways hanging pretty, but with a fair run-off areas.
We have both on the round just lost three balls and buffered without birdiebook or under playing the own handicap. We played the course with discount (30% by guest card). What has, however, a bit surprised us, the price of golf balls (the same brand, almost twice as expensive as on Heimplatz) were.

Disappointment Kösternberg
Reviewed October 13, 2013
I played the course in August 2013. Unfortunately, the place was by the great heat in a pitiful state. The greens and the tees were fine. The fairways contrast, partially burned completely and in my opinion it's quite rude to ask for the full green fee v. 75 euros. At least one should point out the green fee players before the game to the poor state of the place. To be fair you should have, or are there not in golf. In any case I'll make a big circle around Kösternberg.

I played the course on 17:08:13, the fairway was practically non-existent just burned lawn! While it is understandable that there may be heat damage, but with such a state space at least a decent discount is due! A normal game was really almost impossible!
After we complained after the game about the state of the place, we were drawn to the green tees and greens and put off until the next time!
I find this unprofessional and unfair, I can not demand the full price for something as craftsmen deliver only half and hope that the customer does not complain!
And that the greens are the best for miles around is not true that were better at Murhof!
I hardly think that we will play the course again and we can not recommend it too!

Reviewed August 16, 2013
Many fairways have large brown areas. Lawn is barely present on some tracks. As a result, the soil is very hard and many slopes is a controlled ball placement impossible. The ball bounces or rolls wherever he wants. A nice game of golf is impossible due to these circumstances. Too bad, because the place is very scenic. By the topography of an e-trolly is very advisable. The club line, I would recommend reducing the green fee due to the current space urgently. Other clubs halve the green fee already in aeration of the greens.
