In addition to the King’s Course, Bled golf course also includes the Lake Course, with 9 holes.

Numerous representatives of golf associations, golf journalists and professional golf players from all over Europe participated in the assessment. The main criteria used for assessing the golf courses were design, difficulty and general aesthetic features.
