Alpe-Adria-Golf Card: Play golf from the southern side of the Alps to the Adriatic Sea
Carinthia has a favourite spot for everyone!
Carinthia, Austria’s southernmost province, is known not only for carefree holidays at warm bathing lakes and as a destination for the nature lovers who enjoy life whilst hiking and cycling. With 12 attractive golf courses, Carinthia is also a paradise for everyone who has fallen in love with that famous game with the small white ball. And why is that? Every course has its own flair and attracts players with its own special challenges. Most courses are characterised by wonderful views of the mountains and their proximity to a bathing lake. There are no limits to the variety you can experience in just one day of your holiday. Sometimes, in spring, it is even possible to ski and play golf on the same day. And what is especially appealing about golfing in Carinthia is the Carinthian Alps-Adriatic cuisine with regional and seasonal specialities such as Carinthian Käsnudel (stuffed pasta pockets) or Carinthian Laxn (lake trout).
Alpe-Adria-Golf Card
An additional attraction of a golfing holiday in Carinthia is the cross-border Alpe-Adria-Golf Card, which covers the whole Alps-Adriatic region (Austria, Italy, Slovenia). This means you can use Carinthia as a base for golfing in three countries. In just one holiday, golfers can get to know three countries, three cultures and three culinary traditions. Ten Carinthian golf clubs and nearly 40 hotels are partner establishments of the Alpe-Adria-Golf Card, and many other golf courses in Italy and Slovenia complete the golf experience down to the Adriatic See. If you like, you can even visit three countries in one golfing day.

Spring and autumn special offer “2 for 1”
Whether you prefer to tee-off at Lake Klopeiner See or on the championship course in Klagenfurt-Seltenheim, nearly all the partner golf courses provide the spring and autumn special offer with the Alpe-Adria-Golf Card. With the “2 for 1” offer, all Alpe-Adria-Golf Cards are worth twice as much from the beginning of the season until 30th April and from 7thOctober 2024. At the golf courses participating in this special offer, one additional person can play for free per booked round.
Golf with your dog
The Golfpark Klopeiner See-Southern Carinthia is known not only for its long season (ranging at least from March to November) but also for its hospitality towards dogs. For a charge of €12, dogs are allowed to accompany their owners on their round of golf. The picturesque 9-hole golf course at Klagenfurt-Seltenheim is equally as dog-friendly, and dogs on a lead are also allowed here. Dogs are also welcome at Moosburg and Velden-Köstenberg (€10 charge) and in Bad Kleinkirchheim and Nassfeld Golf (free of charge on both of these courses).
Carinthian Alps-Adriatic cuisine and Slow Food
In Carinthia it’s not all about golf. Here, cuisine also plays an important role, much to all golfers’ delight. In every corner of Carinthia, you will find culinary specialties and a focus on regional products. Old recipes are re-discovered and culinary treasures created in harmony with nature. The main thing is that mother nature and her valuable resources are treated with care. Sustainability is encouraged and the diversity of regional tastes is allowed to unfold. What began in 2015 with the worldwide first Slow Food Travel Destination in the Gailtal and Lesachtal valleys, has slowly spread across the whole of Carinthia. Now, Carinthia has a second Slow Food Travel Destination in the east of the country: the Lavanttal valley.
Not to be forgotten with all the Carinthian delicacies are the influences of our southern neighbours, Italy and Slovenia, from which the unique Carinthian Alps-Adriatic cuisine has emerged, guaranteeing borderless moments of indulgence.
