Course

Karlstejn GC- hole 16

The hilly site challenges players with undulating lies, water hazards, strategically placed bunkers and greens with a lot of movement

The course demands precision iron play to a number of raised greens/up hill shots- and there are some difficult pin positions..

It is fun to play but  can be quite challenging

It is also a course with long and undulating walks between greens and tees- an ideal course to consider the use of golf carts

Notable Holes include:

• the short quirky dogleg par 4 second hole with a significant drop down from the tee to fairway and a green tucked in adjacent to two water hazards.

Karlstejn GC- hole 2

• the delightful short par 4 eleventh hole 
• the long par 3 fourteenth hole with water in play down the right (see pic top of page)
• the long uphill par 5 seventeenth hole which requires long accurate stroke play to stay in play

If you find yourself in Prague with your golf clubs in tow, why not visit Karlstejn Castle and play Karlstejn Golf Resort?
