Golf & Racing Club Karlovy Vary

The Golf & Racing Club Karlovy Vary occupies grounds in the spa town of Karlovy Vary in western Bohemia, a region known for its thermal springs and forested hills. The course was designed by Stadler Golf Courses, a firm with experience in Central European golf development. The layout reflects the area's characteristic topography, with elevation changes and mature tree cover that define playing corridors and strategic options throughout the round. The club's name references the historical connection between golf and horse racing in European resort communities, where sporting facilities often developed alongside spa culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Karlovy Vary itself attracted international visitors for generations, and the presence of recreational amenities including golf fits within that tradition. The course serves both local members and visitors to the spa district. The routing works through terrain that requires thoughtful club selection and course management, with doglegs and elevation shifts creating variety in shot-making demands. The natural landscape provides definition to holes without excessive artificial shaping. The setting offers views of the surrounding Ore Mountains and the forested valleys that characterize this part of the Czech Republic. The facility maintains the understated character typical of Central European golf clubs, focusing on the game itself rather than elaborate amenities.
