Those who connect relaxation with golf clubs, balls and wide greens, can come to Slovenia and enjoy not only the golf clubs, golf courses and practice areas but also diverse landscapes of the charming green plains. There are 10 golf courses in Slovenia and 17 practice areas from the panonian north-east to the karst south-west, from the meadows under the Julian Alps to the hills by the Sava River. Besides their tidiness, their favourable points are also accessibility, openness and different possibilities of golf learning – for individual enthusiasts who want to improve their knowledge and also for beginners, children, and families…
The Bled golf course has the longest tradition in Slovenia; it was visited by players before WWII. In 1976 there was also the first golf tournament in Slovenia. A decade ago the new Lake Course with water hazards was added to the King’s Course overlooking the alpine peaks. Other golf courses are available to golfers besides the courses at Bled, such as Lipica, the home of the white Lipizzaner horses, which is also a starting point for exploring the Karst, in Arboretum Volčji Potok, with its attractive ancient park, in Mokrice sheltered by the picturesque castle and near Terme Čatež spa, in Moravske Toplice in the picturesque Panonian landscape with thermal waters, in Ptuj, which attracts visitors with the tradition of the being the oldest Slovenian town, in Slovenske Konjice where the course is sheltered by vine growing hills, Podčetrtek near Terme Olimia spa, at Otočec in the vicinity of the romantic castle and in Trnovo in Ljubljana.
Besides the golf courses in the countryside there are also numerous indoor practice areas for golfers in Slovenia.
