Golfstraße
Zell am See, Salzburg, Austria
Golfclub Zell am See - Kaprun - Saalbach is one of Austria's most renowned golf facilities, situated in the idyllic alpine setting of the Hohe Tauern mountains. The course comprises 36 holes across two layouts: Schmittenhöhe (Par 72, 6,218 meters for men) and Kitzsteinhorn (Par 73, 6,146 meters for men).
Designed by renowned course architect Donald Harradine in 1983, the original 18 holes were expanded to 27 holes five years later, with the Kitzsteinhorn course completed in 1993 by engineer Hermann Schauer. The facility's dramatic mountain backdrop and proximity to Zell am See, Kitzsteinhorn Glacier, and Lake Zell create a distinctive setting combining championship golf with natural alpine scenery.
The course has hosted prestigious international tournaments and championship-level players including Greg Norman, Severiano Ballesteros, and Annika Sorenstam, who won her first European LPGA title here. The facility regularly hosted the OVB Ladies Open on the European women's tour. The Schmittenhöhe course record of 66 strokes, set by Bernhard Langer in 1992, reflects the challenging nature of both layouts.
