Albatross Golf Resort

Albatross Golf Resort sits in the rolling countryside of Vysoký Újezd in the Central Bohemian Region, roughly 30 kilometers southwest of Prague. Designed by British architect Keith Preston, the course occupies terrain typical of the Czech landscape—gently undulating farmland with scattered woodland and natural water features that shape the routing and playing character. Preston, known for his work on several Continental European projects, crafted a layout that integrates the property's existing topography rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, allowing the land's natural movement to influence strategy and shot values. The course serves as the centerpiece of a resort complex that caters to both local Czech golfers and visitors exploring the region around Prague. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes and mature tree lines to create definition between holes, while water hazards—both natural streams and constructed ponds—appear throughout the round as tactical elements. The design reflects a European sensibility in its balance between playability for resort guests and enough challenge to host regional competitive events. Albatross operates within the growing Czech golf market, which has expanded considerably since the 1990s as the sport gained popularity in Central Europe. The facility includes practice areas and amenities typical of a destination resort, supporting both casual holiday rounds and more serious golf tourism. The setting offers views across the Bohemian countryside, with the course serving as a accessible option for those combining golf with visits to Prague and the surrounding historic towns of the region.
