About the Albatross golf course
The course, located just a few kilometres away from
Prague and with an area of more than 80 hectares, is built in a somewhat hilly terrain. Thanks to the good climatic conditions, the open-air golf season is one of the longest in Central Europe. The course has a par 72 and an area of holes from 459 to 812 m² depending on the overall concept and difficulty of the hole. According to an independent internet vote from 2017, the
Albatross golf course is
the best course in the Czech Republic! Of course, there is also a generous training area with a team of coaches and a fitting centre for the most of demanding clients.
