GolfHoliday in Kaprun
Tee off with a view of the Alps
A golf vacation in Salzburger Land means playing with a panorama. In Kaprun and the surrounding area, you not only enjoy well-tended fairways, but also views of glaciers, mountains and green valleys. The Zell am See-Kaprun - Saalbach-Hinterglemm Golf Club is one of the most beautiful courses in Austria - and quite rightly so.
The golf course is located right between Kaprun and Zell am See and is one of the largest in the Austrian Alps: with two 18-hole championship courses—the Schmittenhöhe & Kitzsteinhorn course—you can look forward to a variety of challenging rounds here. Wide fairways, numerous water hazards, and a modern clubhouse make every round a pleasure.
Kitzsteinhorn Square
- Length: 5,953 m
- Par: 72
The Kitzsteinhorn course impresses with its spacious, open layout. Strategically placed bunkers and water hazards add excitement without making the course too challenging. This makes it particularly suitable for players with higher handicaps, without being too easy for experienced golfers.
As a backdrop: the Kitzsteinhorn (3,203 m), covered in snow all year round—a sight that impresses from the very first tee shot.
Schmittenhöhe Square
- Length: 6,262 m
- Par: 72
The Schmittenhöhe course is the more technically challenging of the two. Strategically placed bunkers and water hazards demand precise, well-thought-out play and reward experienced golfers with one of the most beautiful courses in the Alps. The well-maintained fairways blend seamlessly into the mountain scenery of the Schmittenhöhe, making every round an experience that goes far beyond the sport itself.

Can I bring my dog to the golf course?
Yes— dogs are welcome on both courses, provided they are kept on a leash. This means your four-legged friend doesn’t have to stay at the hotel while you play your round of golf. Please notify the golf office or mention it when making your reservation, and make sure your dog waits quietly and patiently during your round.
Are there any golf highlights in Kaprun that you shouldn't miss?
Yes—and one of them is truly unique: Every May, the Ski & Golf World Championships in Zell am See-Kaprun spectacularly combine two sports. The athletes first compete in a giant slalom on the glacier slopes of the Kitzsteinhorn and then head straight to the Leading Golf Course, where the winner is decided on the green. If you’d like to play yourself: Amateur golfers with a handicap of 18 or lower are eligible to participate. If you’d rather watch, you’ll experience a thrilling sporting spectacle in one of the most beautiful settings in the Alps.
