Colony Club Gutenhof

Incredible golf course with perfect fairways and greens.

Freundlicher Empfang in der Rezeption.

Sehr gut gepflegter Platz. Serie im Restaurant sehr aufmerksam.

As every year we play our mini tournament with friends in Austria, we play 1round at Adamstal and then on some course where we never played this year we choose Colony. Once again we verify our thoughts that there are as good courses or better than Fontana in Austria and this one is one of them.

From first moment it will bring you in nature and between nice people and not that posh feeling we had at the other course. Colony will welcome you with very nice club house and spatious parking lot next to it. Receptionist and veryone is very friendly there. Driving is just few meters away from parking lot, not next to it but 3 min walk. Colony offers 2 courses East and West, we started with East and next day West. Quality on both is same, great greens which roll true, bit slower but easy to understand due the dry conditions they keep them slower. Fairways and tee boxes are well maintained, they offer enough space to land a ball and were nice and soft. Roughs were not to heavy but still hard to play. What I did not like was as always marking the next tee should be much more visible and better placed. Also the instructions in buggies were only in German, sorry to say, I know how to ride buggy, but if you want someone ride only on fairway than you better write it in English, there are also golfers who do not ride correctly and they do not speak German. Back to course, difficult to pick the signature hole on East, would say probably 10th, on West for sure 18th. I personally favor the East course, since iit was more challenging with many narrow shots. West is more open. What I do not understand why they make courses in Austria that hard to play, the lenght from yellow tees is about 6.2km which is quite long. Anyway, we had great round and lot of fun, after the game you can get ticket to pool and refresh and its a best part in hot summer. I will for sure come back some day.

Bewertung vom Ostkurs. Auf jeden Fall nicht so spannend wie der Westkurs, aber trotzdem gut gepflegt. Die Grüns waren schön und schnell. Das Essen im Restaurant war gut und der Service war auch sehr freundlich.

Bewertung vom Westkurs. Sehr spannender Platz und toll gepflegt. Die Grüns waren schnell und die Fairways top gepflegt. Das war sicher nicht das letzte mal, dass wir auf diesem Kurs gespielt haben.
