Albania

Golf & Tenis Klub Tirana is the only golf facility in Albania. An Albanian golf federation exists but has not yet been able to add interest to people in Albania for golf. Golf & Tenis Klub Tirana is quite easy to find. From Tirana, just follow the signs "Teater Kame" which are clearly marked. At one moment there is a big sign on top of a building (can't be missed) but the arrow to the left is hidden behind a tree. In total a 20 minute drive without problems. Arriving there I found nobody there, although I sent an email the day before. A short chat (in English!) with one of the cleaning ladies of Teatri Kame resulted in a very friendly guy arriving within 5 minutes by bike. Golf & Tenis Klub Tirana can only be seen as a practice facility. The golf course counts only 3 (par 3) holes which lie on and near the driving range. There are no bunkers or any water hazards. A putting green or chipping area can't be found either. But what can you do? Well practice your swing. If allowed to hit from the grass you'll find the grass and dirt to be suprisingly soft. Almost everywhere in the region the ground is as hard as a brick, here it isn't. The driving range is very short, just a bit longer than 100 meters. If you want to practice the longer clubs, 'almost golf balls' are available. Only a champ would hit them off the field :-) Albania is dry and hot, so I was kinda surprised to find a place like this. The clubhouse is very small but the terrace is very nice. Good quality furniture which look better than some bigger golf clubs I've seen in the Netherlands. Overall not really a course, but the facility itself is good enough to practice, even during holidays.
