Golf And Country Club Bled

Golf And Country Club Bled sits in the Julian Alps foothills near Lake Bled in northwestern Slovenia, occupying terrain that blends alpine meadow with forested hillside. Donald Harradine designed the Kings Course in the 1970s during a period when he was establishing several layouts across Central Europe. The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes characteristic of the region, with holes moving through varied topography that includes both open stretches and tree-lined corridors. The course reflects Harradine's approach to working with existing landscape rather than imposing dramatic earthworks. Players encounter strategic demands shaped by the property's contours, with approach shots often requiring careful club selection due to elevation change. The setting provides views toward the surrounding mountains, and the climate and growing conditions typical of this alpine environment influence course conditioning and playability throughout the season. Bled itself is known as a resort destination, and the golf facility serves both members and visitors drawn to the area's recreational offerings. The club operates within Slovenia's small but established golf community, where courses remain relatively few compared to Western European countries. The Kings Course represents one of the country's more established layouts, part of the limited golf infrastructure that developed in Yugoslavia during the latter twentieth century before Slovenia's independence.
