Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Old Lake Golf Club for ideal conditions?

We find late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) offers the most pleasant experience. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and enjoy lush fairways, plus the changing leaves make for a beautiful backdrop around the lake. The course plays its best when the ground isn't too firm.

What's the signature challenge or unique feature at Old Lake Golf Club?

The course truly lives up to its name; water comes into play on nearly half the holes, particularly on the back nine. You'll need precision off the tee, especially on the par-3 14th, which demands a carry over the lake. It's a strategic test, not just a power game.

Is Old Lake Golf Club easy to access from Budapest, and what's nearby for non-golfers?

It's a straightforward drive, usually less than an hour from Budapest, making it perfect for a day trip. For your travel companions, the charming town of Tata, with its historic castle and lake, is right next door and offers plenty to explore while you're on the links.

How does the green fee at Old Lake Golf Club compare to other European courses, and is it good value?

You'll find Old Lake offers excellent value, especially compared to Western European courses. While not the cheapest in Hungary, the course conditioning and the overall experience justify the price. We recommend checking their website for twilight rates or package deals, which can save you a bit.

What's the typical pace of play like, and what amenities should I expect at Old Lake?

Pace of play is generally good, especially on weekdays; expect a round to take around four hours. The clubhouse is welcoming, offering a decent pro shop and a restaurant with lovely views of the course. Don't miss grabbing a drink on the terrace after your round.
