Golfclub Wien-Süßenbrunn

Golfclub Wien-Süßenbrunn sits in the northeastern outskirts of Vienna, in the Süßenbrunn district near the city's boundary with Lower Austria. The course was designed by Hans-Georg Erhardt and Kurt Rossknecht, both figures associated with Austrian and Central European golf course architecture in the latter decades of the twentieth century. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Vienna Basin, with mature tree plantings and water features shaping the playing corridors. The routing makes use of the site's natural drainage patterns and incorporates several ponds and streams that come into play on multiple holes. Tree-lined fairways define individual holes and provide strategic interest on what might otherwise be open ground. The design reflects a parkland style common to courses built near major European cities during this period, balancing accessibility for members with enough challenge to host regional competition. As a club serving Vienna's golf community, Wien-Süßenbrunn functions as both a members' facility and a venue welcoming visitors to the Austrian capital. The clubhouse and practice areas support regular member play and instruction. The course's location makes it one of the more accessible options for golfers staying in Vienna proper, offering a straightforward parkland experience within the city limits. The layout provides a representative example of Austrian golf course design from its era, shaped by the constraints and opportunities of developing golf facilities near a major urban center.
