Fontana Golf & Sports Club
Golf is an outdoor sport where player as an individual or from varied teams strike a ball targeting a hole using various clubs. This game does not have any fixed standard playing area, but an ideal measurement can be decided as per the availability of space and number of players involved. The game basically originated from Scotland and has been played for at least five centuries in the British Isles. Although often viewed as an elite pastime, golf is now becoming an increasingly popular sport across all sections of society.
In green countryside at the outskirts of the spa town of Baden, Fontana Golf & Sports Club is a comfortable residential and sports complex with a championship 18 hole course founded in 1996. Fontana looks like a piece of Florida dropped on the border of the Viennese woods. Even the real estate development has a definite Floridian flavour, as does the impressive style clubhouse overlooking a 25 acres swimming lake, complete with sandy beach and palm trees.
This par 72 course has 18 holes measuring 6,112 meters or 6,686 yards for a standard scratch score of 73 from the championship tees. The job involved the task of excavating a 25 acre lake in order to obtain the considerable amount of earth to shape fairways and greens. This feat was accomplished to perfection and the result is a target, American style layout that meshes flawlessly with the flow of the natural terrain and provides some memorable holes, in particular the finish holes bordering the main lake. The result is a fine championship course, very technical and quite demanding from the championship tees do not hesitate to play from the forward tees, at least on your first round. Numerous water hazards, not only the main lake, dangerous bunkers and highly contoured greens call for precision and total concentration.
Fontana Golf & Sports Club is affiliated to the finest golf clubs of the world and member of the leading golf courses Austria, grouping twelve of the leading golf facilities in Austria. Each course has its individual character and unique ambiance yet all were designed to blend with the landscape.
