Courses surrounded by magnificent nature
The golf courses of Slovenia are among the most beautiful in Europe. They are set in typical landscapes on the edge of the Pannonian Plain, among vineyards and rolling hills, below Alpine summits, and in the idyllic karst landscape. Due to the short distances within Slovenia, you can reach most of the golf clubs from Ljubljana within one hour.
Bled
The Bled Golf Course is the oldest and the largest in Slovenia. It is distinguished by its outstanding natural features and spectacular views of the highest Slovenian peaks. This course with a renowned Alpine lake nearby is among the most popular in Europe. The King's Course, with 18 holes, and the Lake Course, with 9 holes, offer plenty of opportunities for beginners but also set a challenge for the most advanced players.
