Austria is a skiing nation, no doubt, but golf is a big thing, too. And Franz Klammer is by no means the only well-known name regularly spotted on the grass. Home to some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, Austria attracts beginners and pros alike, completing their holes in beautiful settings, stunning mountain and lake views included.

Franz Klammer's home Carinthia and Tirol are especially well-known for their courses. Got inspired by the Wooden Spoon? Have a look at what the regions have to offer!

CARINTHIA: 12 GOLF CLUBS AND THE ALPE-ADRIA-GOLF CARD 
Austria’s southernmost province is known for its lakes, its skiing, cycling and biking resorts. But it also has a whopping 12 golf courses, with its natural surroundings making them even more appealing. In the summer, you are never far from the next bathing lake to cool off before or after a game, in spring, you can sometimes even ski and golf on one day. 

Another bonus: The cross-border Alpe-Adria-Golf Card gives access to 20 of the most beautiful courses in Carinthia, Italy and Slovenia, allowing golfers to explore three different countries in one holiday, all while mastering their skills. It's even possible to play a round in all three countries in just one day!
