Golf & Racing Club Karlovy Vary
About this course
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.

Getting there
The journey to Golf & Racing Club Karlovy Vary begins at Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG), roughly two hours west by car through the gentle rolling terrain of the Bohemian countryside, a landscape that gradually shifts from suburban sprawl to forested hills and spa-town charm. The drive traces a path toward one of Central Europe's most storied wellness destinations, where Belle Époque architecture and thermal springs have drawn visitors for centuries, and the final approach descends into the Teplá River valley where Karlovy Vary's distinctive colonnades and pastel facades emerge. Private aviation options via nearby regional airfields offer a more discreet arrival for those seeking it, though the road journey itself - winding through small villages and past vineyards - captures the unhurried elegance that defines this corner of the Czech Republic. Upon arrival at the club, the transition from historic spa town to the manicured grounds of Golf & Racing Club Karlovy Vary marks a seamless passage into a sanctuary where golf, equestrian pursuits, and old-world European refinement converge.
