Only recommended in really dry conditions!
Reviewed August 21, 2024
Played again after two years. Design interesting and varied. But definitely not a course for times when it rains even a little. The day before it was dry, but rained at night. 3/4 of the fairways are covered in water with every step, bunkers unplayable. So only play in periods of good weather. When asked after the round, the secretary's first response was "today the conditions are perfect". That is no way for a "Leading Golf Club" to treat guests! Then the marshal came over and after a few minutes they approached us and offered a subsequent reduction in the green fee. Good reaction. It would of course be better to point out the restricted conditions on the website in advance and offer a green fee reduction right from the start. Positive - very friendly and tried to dispel the criticism.

Top but very heavy
Reviewed July 19, 2024
The layout is a great course, with an American touch, large bunkers, many artificial hills, heavily undulating greens and lots and lots of water.
Very well maintained, super fast greens, which made putting difficult due to the relatively strong undulations. 3 putts were not uncommon.
Fairways are nice, but without roll, and the course is also relatively deep in front of the greens.
The fairways are varied, there are good orientation boards on the tees, but all the flags are the same colour and therefore it is not possible to determine whether the flag is in the front, middle or back of the green.
The course is difficult to play (lots of water and large bunkers), the HCP rating is far from appropriate, as the rating is classified as much too easy.
Very nice holes 9 and 10!

Something amazed
Reviewed July 10, 2023
The pitch is comfortable to play. The condition is ok. However, there is a lack of space in the first nine. The tracks sometimes come quite close. However, the service in the restaurant was a bit bumpy. This was more about the club members than about us as guests. However, how the guest changing rooms fit into a so-called leading golf course is beyond me. For the men, I haven't seen a women's changing room, a windowless room of about 12 square meters with a short bench, a few compartments and two showers and a sink. Not very inviting. Nevertheless, I would play the course again.

Very good redesign - weaknesses in green keeping
Reviewed October 17, 2022
Short summary (played on 10/16/22, HCP: 19+20):
1. Reception: Very friendly and competent
2nd place layout: After this year's redesign / conversion, now really nice, varied and great dramatic structure.
3. Reductions: Exceptionally bad condition - possibly complete rebuilding necessary.
4. Fairways: Partly extremely wet, almost unplayable - the drainage probably needs to be renewed and there is also significant heat damage from the summer.
5. Bunker: Most bunkers are now well stocked with fresh sand - but apparently not all drains are working properly.
6. Greens: Interesting shape and layout, but relatively slow (height of cut) and some damage (heat?).
7. Restaurant: Good cuisine and very friendly and fast service.
8. Green Fee: In view of the overall condition, 95 EUR/round are clearly too high.
All in all: If the mistakes (from the past?) are solved, it can become a "Leading Golf Course" again. Unfortunately he isn't at the moment.

Seen and ticked off
Reviewed August 19, 2022
With a few exceptions, we only play places where our small dog is welcome, but we still wanted to experience "Altentann" after many years of vacationing in Salzburg and the surrounding area.
For us, not only was the place underwhelming, but also the round was more than tolerable. No place supervisor and the group in front of us with little talent and no idea what the sport is concerned. We did see the marshal, but he was probably more interested in the women's group behind us than in normal game flow in front of us.
Completely incomprehensible as far as the image is concerned.

Very nice first nine
Reviewed January 14, 2022
More than three points are not possible for this former Austrian top course: Firstly, because there were too many bare spots on (too) many greens in September 21. And secondly, because the course laid out by ex-superstar Nicklaus shows a stark difference between the beautifully laid out first nine (in a kind of amphitheater around the clubhouse and pond) and the second nine, laid out in a rather unimaginative manner in steep terrain. Would only play the first half next time.

Great greens
Reviewed September 30, 2021
The greens are the showpiece of the course, extremely fast, directionally stable and sometimes heavily undulating, just great.
Fairways in very good condition, perfect course maintenance, except for the bunkers everything is okay. Unfortunately, these did not match because it was very hard with little sand, although there were also other, easy-to-play bunkers with a lot of sand. For such a great place, with the exciting fairways, 5 stars are unfortunately not possible for the time being. Very difficult place, a lot of water, many strategically placed bunkers, lightning-fast greens, actually everything is optimal.

Good, but not great
Reviewed September 10, 2021
The fairways are in good and well-kept condition. The course is often lined with bunkers (especially the greens) and on hilly, undulating terrain. The individual tracks are mostly very close to each other, which can lead to stressful situations. The signposting of the railways is very bad and confusing. The fairway signs are partly mirrored and the direction of play is not always immediately recognizable. There is an electric vehicle charging station, but it was used by a local member.

Great Golfing Experience
Reviewed August 20, 2020
I was a little skeptical because some of the reviews weren't that good, but was pleasantly surprised.
The design is really great, albeit very tight. Maintenance condition 1A, probably due to the takeover by the Murhof group.
What I didn't like that much were partly the paths between the holes where you cross the road several times.
The green fee is still okay, even if Mondsee, which I liked even better, is a bit cheaper.
The restaurant was great. Yes, the choice of dishes is limited, but what is on offer is excellent and reasonably priced.
All in all a successful day of golf.

Despite bad weather, we felt very comfortable on this course in June 2020. The feeling of wellbeing begins in the secretariat, where the two ladies went out of their way to fulfill our wishes with exceptional friendliness. Although the bottom of the fairways was very deep after extensive rains, we really enjoyed the round. We would be happy to come back, but we would like the weather to be drier.

Sporty, demanding top course
Reviewed June 7, 2020
The course is definitely worthy of a "leading course".
Condition: top, in all areas
Landscape: very beautiful, slightly hilly
Course design: Here you notice that a very good designer was at work! You have the feeling that there is a lot behind every hole. Already the look alone makes the course difficult and presents golfers (probably of all skill levels) with exciting tasks. This applies to the discounts, approximation and "on the green". Water hazards, bunkers and even smaller curls on the fairway make the course a challenge in combination. The greens are quick and often with hidden breaks. Everyone who plays his handicap here - hats off!
So: absolute recommendation

Price / performance not satisfactory
Reviewed July 19, 2019
The layout of the place is very interesting. Also halfway varied tracks, however, the condition of care for this price category is catastrophic. On almost every lane pull on tee and fairways large brown, bald spots. Greens are alright, but also pretty slow. With cheaper green fee always gladly, because the place despite the short length is challenging to play. At present green fee price and place condition, unfortunately, not more...

Not worth his money!
Reviewed July 15, 2019
The positive anticipation: the layout is really nice.
Unfortunately, the greens are the only area that is ok. Not fast, but playable.
The care of the fairways and the deductions corresponds to a place in the lower price category.
For Euro 110, - GF during the week I can not recommend the place.

A natural experience
Reviewed July 12, 2019
We played the course in early July and found the value for money with a green fee of Euro 110, - not fully justified. The condition was okay, but the place simply misses loving details that would be expected at this price. The first 9 holes meander around a small lake and are wonderfully embedded in nature. The second 9 holes are quite hilly, where you can see the handwriting of Jack Nicklaus in the whole place. Important is a precise game to achieve a good result. If you are in the area, you should definitely play the course!

Beautiful golf experience
Reviewed September 16, 2018
Golf Course: The first 9 tracks are beautiful mostly around a lake or modeled around streams. Gentle ondulations around the fairways and the existing old trees were used here perfectly. The second 9 are initially uphill and downhill and may not be quite as spectacular before you return to the initial design in the last few holes.
Course condition: very good. Juicy rough.
Conclusion: Has earned the predicate of a "Leading Golf Course".

Very great golf
Reviewed August 28, 2017
By far the most beautiful place in the entire region.
A wonderfully laid-out golf course, the layout technically everything holds what a Jack-Nicklaus-Platz promises.
Unbelievably varied, the front-9 are rather hilly with much water, the back-9 resemble a mountain golf course.
Not the easiest golf course but still fair at all times.
For me the probably most beautiful place in western Austria.
Absolute recommendation and also the expensive green fee to 100% value.

Would be a wonderful place embedded in the landscape with very well defended greens by water and bunker.

Birdiebook must be paid - Should be included in the greenfee as a guest present. Rangeballs ancient and Sammelsurium for € 2, - / 15 pcs place was partly under water, full bunkers, no indication about it from the secretariat or from the Marshall to the misfortunes and no GF reduction although the place is not in top condition.

Reviewed December 2, 2013
Not for nothing, the club is one of the "Leading Golf Clubs": Not easy to play, lots of water is in play. but hervorrgande fairways and greens make this course a memorable experience.
Nevertheless, two stars must be brought to the deduction: On the one hand, the green fee is far too high, at equivalent places (even in "Leading Golf Courses"), there are much cheaper prices (but probably because in this golf club including playing the Franz Beckenbauer ... ?) and on the other the fairways are partly much too far apart (up to 400m).
Under the circumstances, but still a beautiful place with small but improvable defects.

Jack Nicklaus content
Reviewed July 25, 2013
From Jack Nicklaus design, I am always excited and pulled into the spell. Therefore the place was a must during the holidays with my partner.
And the place did not disappoint! However, one must say that the design is particularly visible on the first 9 holes. After that, it loses a bit of the typical style where the 18 but again can boast great.
The first 9 holes move more or less around a lake. Beautiful landscapes, the bunker, the hills around the green. The place was still playing but still very wet very well because of flooding in this part. Best work of the Greenkeeper.
The second nine are hilly, but are still nice to play.
The clubhouse is an old style and the excellent dinner there.
I love Jack Nicklaus for his courses and is therefore played on Altentann again!

Beautiful and challenging
Reviewed September 4, 2011
Very nice place, sophisticated, some water hazards. Have knocked off at 8:00 in the morning, that's why it was rather quiet at lunch time but it had a lot of golfers (August). 100 euros at the upper limit. In the bunkers had repeatedly Greenkeeper at work. That must be, but who have absolutely no regard to the golfer and also not responding to calls. From me so they can stay in the bunker, but at least they should watch where the balls fly there. Back to the place: not as flat as it looks on the first 9, but no mountain course. Bunkers and water coming back into the game, which cost us some balls. But that's what the Pro Shop.
The holes are in my opinion in the wrong order; 3 times has a longer path (always the same) to be covered by the club house on the other side of the street (about 400 meters).
Gastronomy excellent, beautiful views of the grounds from the terrace.
