The six golf courses in detail
GC Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee, Schwarzsee-Reith – the closest one
18 holes · Par 71
The closest course and a classic for all types of golfers: varied fairways, challenging water hazards, and a magnificent panoramic view. The course has hosted Challenge Tour tournaments. It begins with a selective opening hole nearly 500 meters long, followed by the course’s most difficult hole (par 4, 414 meters). The par-3 16th hole—the “Mouse Trap,” which is played over a small ravine—is legendary.
Your benefit: With your free Brixental guest card, you’ll also enjoy a 20% discount on green fees here.
GC Kitzbühel Kaps – Austria's most beautiful 9-hole course
9-Hole
Spanning 30 hectares, this parkland course is located in the heart of the historic town of Kitzbühel. Architecturally striking water features and mature trees characterize this peaceful course—the club boasts the highest number of single-handicap players in Austria. Ideal for a relaxing round after work or as an introduction to golf.guestcard-brixentalguestcard-brixental
GC Kitzbüheler Alpen Westendorf – 20% discount for our guests
18 holes · Par 72
A golfing gem on the sunny plateau southwest of Westendorf—opened in 2014, making it the newest course in the region. The flat, easily navigable holes are beautiful but narrow: precision pays off here. The course has been a member of “Leading Golf Courses” in Austria since 2022 and has been awarded the Four-Star Superior Award. A real highlight: the clubhouse terrace with a panoramic view of the 18th hole and the Hohe Salve.
Your benefit: As a guest in Kirchberg, the free Brixental Guest Card entitles you to a 20% discount on the daily green fee—starting from your very first night.
GC Eichenheim, Aurach – Kyle Phillips Design with Golf Simulators
18 holes · Par 71
Few golf courses in Europe offer such a charming setting: nestled between rock faces and deciduous forests, designed by renowned architect Kyle Phillips and built in 2000. Since its expansion in 2023, Eichenheim has featured a modern driving range with golf simulators, covered hitting bays, a pitching area, and a putting green. A golf school is located in the service building above the practice area. The championship course is hilly but easily navigable on foot.
GC Wilder Kaiser-Ellmau – 27 holes at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser
27 holes · Par 72
The largest golf course in the area is set against the impressive backdrop of the Wilder Kaiser mountain range in Ellmau. Spread across approximately 88 hectares are 27 gently rolling fairways, divided into three 9-hole courses that can be freely combined (“Wilder Kaiser,” “Ellmau,” and “Tirol”)—an 18-hole championship course (par 72) plus a complementary 9-hole course. The spacious driving range and the Wilder Kaiser Golf Academy make the course ideal for beginners as well. Guests are welcome (handicap 45 required).
GC Mittersill-Stuhlfelden – Golfing in the Hohe Tauern National Park
18 holes · Par 70
Lush greenery, flat terrain, rustic hay barns, ponds, and a small stream—all set against the backdrop of the Hohe Tauern National Park’s mountain scenery. Opened in 1999, the course is flat and easy to walk, making it ideal for beginners and casual golfers. The trip over the Pass Thurn is well worth it for the scenery.
