What Do Carinthia and the Rhine Have in Common? A View of Lake, River and Fairway!

Dear golfing community,

today it’s all about teeing off with a view and soul.

Two trips – as different as they are – share one thing: style, a passion for golf and that certain something far removed from the ordinary.

From lakeside bliss at the Seeglück in Carinthia, with private lake access and fairways on a high plateau, to the Excellence golf river cruises – on board: a PGA pro, gourmet cuisine and fine evening entertainment.

Get inspired – and discover golf trips that offer so much more …

Warm regards,

Your NineteenGolf.Guide team

Fishing for Happiness at Millstätter See

Right on the shores of Millstätter See sits the Seeglück Hotel Forelle****S – a family-run retreat. If relaxation had an address, this would be it: stylish ambience, an 850 m² wellness area, a private lawn with exclusive lake access, a lakeside terrace and regional cuisine. So close to the water you could dip your toes in.

And if you’re now thinking: sounds like lakeside romance, but where’s the golfing bliss?

Don’t worry: the 18-hole Millstätter See golf course is just 4 kilometres away, set on a sunny high plateau with a view that’s almost distracting (but only almost). Driving range, chipping, pitching, putting greens – it’s all there. As a hotel guest, by the way, you tee off at special rates.

Still not enough? With the Alpe Adria Golf Card, you get the full run of 21 golf courses across Carinthia, Slovenia and Friuli-Venezia Giulia – borderless golfing pleasure guaranteed.
