»»»Czech Golf - brief info and figures
Golf has a long tradition and a high level of standard in the Czech Republic.
The tradition of golf in the Czech Republic started already in the beginning of the 20th century as the first golf course in the entire Austro-Hungarian monarchy was established in 1904 in Carlsbad. Shortly after, in August 1905, His Majesty King Edward VII himself conducted the opening of the Marianske Lazne golf course. During the next three decades, new clubs and courses were established. Those prosperous years were replaced by dark times, however, the WWII followed by 40 years of communism could not destroy the golf tradition developed during the era of first Republic. After the Velvet Revolution, which ended the communist era, Golf in the Czech Republic entered its next, flourishing stage that resulted in its current boom that is unequaled it the whole region.
In November 2006, the Czech Republic was declared the “Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year” at the Seventh International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) Awards held during the annual travel industry fair International Golf Travel Market in Marbella, Spain.
The award was, in part, a result of an enormous golfing boom in the Czech Republic where the number of golf courses expanded from only three 18-hole courses in 1990 to twenty-seven in 2007 and 75 golf courses overall (by far the most in central-east Europe).
Number of registered players in Czech Republic: approx. 25 000
Number of golf courses overall: 82
Number of 9 hole courses: 41
Number of 18 hole courses: 35
Number of 27 hole courses: 4
Number of 36 hole courses: 2
A recent study released in March by consultancy KPMG, “Europe, Middle East and Africa Golf Benchmark Survey 2006” showed that the Czech Republic stood as an undisputed leader in Eastern Europe in terms of the number of courses and players. Out of the 134 courses in the region–including Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Serbia–the Czechs had 68 courses and also about 57 percent of the golf players in the region, according to the study.
