Schloss Schönborn learn from the PRO

Schloss Schörnborn is more than just a golf club. Playing at Schörnborn is an encounter with Austrian history every step of the way. The magnificently restored castle that is available to the club today was built between 1712 and 1717 by Lukas von Hildebrandt as the summer residence for the then Imperial Vice Chancellor, Friedrich Karl von Schönborn. Experiencing sport and nature come together on the 104 hectare castle grounds - the site of the golf course opened in 1989. In contrast to many other golf courses, the landscape was not artificially modelled but perfectly utilized as an existing framework. The stylish atmosphere of both the castle and grounds also makes its mark on the club. The woods with their old trees always come into play on the 18-hole course in the castle grounds, and are always a challenge for the golfer. In particular the large oak tree that stands exactly in the centre of the 18th fairway, is already a prominent landmark for the tee-off hole on the red course.The greens are well undulated, exceptionally fast and in perfect condition. Before the 2005 golfing season, new additional bunkers were placed at strategically important positions.
A simultaneous extension of the water features at holes 6 and 17 make the game even more appealing. You can spend memorable hours on Schloss Schönborn. The park and the castle settings alone are worth a visit. And for every golfer,

the fact that you can also play a great game here clinches the matter.
