Place with spark

My last course on my trip to Austria. many years I was passing bye with thought to play this time I took the opportunity. Once again its very easy to find there are good signs to navigate to course and if you use navigation you will find it.
Clubhouse sits on side of the hill nest to main road. Parking lot is not a big but also not crowded. From terrace you have nice view on village and course. The building is some how modern and interesting I like it very much. It feels there very friendly. I did also booking through ÖGV. I arrived a bit early so I was lucky there was lady at reception, so my checking went smooth and I was ready to play. I hit few putts on putting green with morning moist, and only looked at driving range, next to it.
To reach 1st tee you need to cross main road so be careful. Elevation tee on 1st hole pretty much sets up the standard of the day. It will be up and down :D. I like the 1st hole, good opening one which gives you chance to score but also punish. The second one was much better, huge tee shot over the trees on wide fairway, do not be afraid to hit driver. Than it slows a bit looked like flat golf course but its not. I do not know but I'm asking myself why the courses in Austria are so long, everybody hits over 250 their drives? Anyway I liked front nine, course offer variety of shots and reward the risk. Back nine starts at the old clubhouse, cause course was originally only 9 holes and let you climb up to hill. My personal preferences are in favor of front nine. If I have to pick some hole which was most interesting for me I would choose probably hole 6th and 14th. Anyway I was lucky to be paired with local guy who was very supportive and gave many interesting info and great advices and I felt like at home course. So thanks for hospitality and I will for sure come back again
