The golf course at Schloss Pichlarn is one of the oldest in Austria and one of the most beautiful world-wide ("Hideaways" June 2001). Elegance and a sporting experience of the very highest international caliber provide the framework for this 18-hole championship course in the heart of Styria's Ennstal valley. The course captivates with its natural structure of hills, valleys and forests. Golf architect Donald Harradine had no problems in the early 70s in exploiting the natural features of the Ennstal valley. In fact, Mother Nature herself was actually the »lead architect«, creating against the might mountain backdrop of the »Grimming« a championship course which presents a true challenge for every golfer, with a Par/SSS 72. The course record is held by Bernhard Langer at 66 strokes. The Schloss Pichlarn Golf Academy makes it possible for rookies and »pros« to learn and improve their game on putting, pitching and chipping greens, and in practice bunkers. Three PGA-certified pros, led by head pro Alan Mitchell, offer a wide range of lessons and training models for all ability and age groups.
