Review by Jeroen of Golfclub und Golfanlage Velden

Played here during the IGTM conference. Course was in good condition and this is probably a typical Austrian course. Hilly, proper maintenance and not too difficult. Design is nice, but I started on hole 8 (shotgun) so difficult to judge how the course actually plays from 1 - 18. Quite a lot of sloped fairways, so you have to think where to place your drive. We played late in the season, so balls did not have much roll. I would say a buggy is recommended. Sometimes it was quite far to the next tee. Some tough holes, but inngeneral the course is pretty ok. I guess not very suitable for high handicap players. One little remark: there are quite some powerlines, so you see them on a lot of tees. That spoils the ambience, because the course is quite and is surrounded by nature. Friendly people.
