We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early autumn. The course is in pristine condition, and the surrounding Waldviertel landscape, particularly the Ottenstein reservoir views, is absolutely breathtaking with vibrant colors. You'll avoid the peak summer crowds and enjoy comfortable playing temperatures.
What makes Golfclub Ottenstein truly unique compared to other Austrian courses?
Its dramatic topography and integration with the Ottenstein reservoir are what truly set it apart.

The course design masterfully uses the natural elevation changes, offering stunning vistas from nearly every tee box.
How accessible is Golfclub Ottenstein, and what's the typical pace of play?
Ottenstein is a bit off the beaten path, about an hour and a half drive northwest of Vienna, but the journey through the scenic Waldviertel is part of the charm. We've always found the pace of play to be very relaxed, especially on weekdays, allowing you to truly soak in the surroundings without feeling rushed.
