Golfclub Schloss Finkenstein
Gödersdorf
Golfclub Schloss Finkenstein is a fantastic choice for an Austria golf holiday, especially for golfers who want mountain views, resort comfort and easy access to Carinthia’s lake district. Set in Gödersdorf, close to Villach and Lake Faak, the course sits in Austria’s sunny south, close to the borders with Italy and Slovenia, giving it a lovely “three-country” holiday feel.
The course is an 18-hole, par-72 panoramic layout, with views towards the Karawanken mountains, Mittagskogel and Dobratsch. It is gently hilly rather than brutally mountainous, which makes it enjoyable for holiday golfers, but the round still has plenty of interest thanks to lakes, woodland holes and strong water features. Several sources highlight the water-laden closing stretch, so this is a course where the scorecard can still change late on.
For travelling golfers, Schloss Finkenstein works particularly well because it combines golf with accommodation and dining. Carinthia’s tourism board highlights the Suites Schloss Finkenstein as luxury accommodation set within the 18-hole course, just moments from the first tee.
As part of an Austria golf holiday, Schloss Finkenstein pairs beautifully with nearby courses around Lake Wörthersee, Klagenfurt, Dellach and Velden. Hashtag Golf Travel can help arrange the right flights, hotels, transfers and tee times, creating a smooth Carinthian golf break with alpine views, lake scenery and relaxed Austrian hospitality.

About The Area
Köstenberg is a peaceful Carinthian golf base set above Lake Wörthersee, ideal for travellers who want mountain air, quiet surroundings and easy access to one of Austria’s most attractive lake regions. It sits within the Velden am Wörthersee area, so golfers can enjoy a quieter hillside setting while still being close to Velden’s lakeside hotels, restaurants, summer atmosphere and Wörthersee scenery. Wörthersee tourism describes Velden as a stylish lakeside resort in the western bay of Lake Wörthersee, with a lively but still traditionally Carinthian feel.
The main golf attraction is Golf Velden Wörthersee, based directly in Köstenberg at Golfweg 41. The course is an 18-hole layout set in a natural landscape above the lake, around 10 minutes by car from central Velden. Golf information for the course highlights quick greens, a challenging layout and a setting between mountains and lake, making it appealing for both serious golfers and those who simply want scenic holiday golf.
Away from the fairways, Köstenberg works well for Lake Wörthersee, Velden, Villach and Klagenfurt day trips. Travellers can add swimming, boat trips, lakeside dining, cycling, walking and relaxed summer exploring around Carinthia. For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Köstenberg is best suited to a scenic Austria golf escape, a lake-and-golf holiday, or a wider Carinthia itinerary with Maria Wörth, Klagenfurt, Velden and Gödersdorf.
