Golf and Country Club Gut Altentan - Austria

Gut AItentann, Austria's top-rated course, lies in Henndorf am Waller see, just six miles north of Salzburg, the hometown of Mozart. Founded in 1986, the course was Jack Nicklaus's first design foray into Europe. Like many of his designs, Gut Altentann is a robust layout, spread out over rustic, rumpled pastures and glades of alpine trees, with rock-laden lakes and streams coming into play. The property is one of historic interest, occupied by the Mondsee Monastery as far back as 785. The present-day clubhouse occupies the site of the manor house in which the archbishop and curates once lived, which was expanded over the years into the imposing Gut Altentann castle. The castle was destroyed by fire in 1680. In 1990, Gut Altentann hosted the inaugural Austrian Open, won by Bernhard Langer in a playoff with Lanny Wadkins.

Dachstein-Tauern Golf and Country Club - Austria

Dachstein-Tauern Golf and Country Club is located outside the attractive old town of Schladming in the Austrian Alps. Designed by Bernhard Langer and opened in 1988, the course has an almost Floridian flavor, with fairways curving around a shimmering, fountain-filled lagoon. There are commanding views of the Dachstein peaks to distract the golfer. Better known as a ski resort, the four separate mountains have now been linked by lifts and trails.
