Golf Course Velden Köstenberg
Köstenberg
Golf Course Velden Köstenberg is a scenic and peaceful choice for an Austria golf holiday, set above Lake Wörthersee in the Carinthian countryside. Located in Köstenberg, around 10 minutes from the centre of Velden, the course offers a lovely mix of mountain views, woodland, fresh alpine air and easy access to one of Austria’s most attractive lake regions.
The course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout, opened in 1989 and set at around 790 metres above sea level. It measures 6,319 metres from the white tees and 5,757 metres from the yellow tees, giving stronger players a proper test while still remaining enjoyable for holiday golfers from the forward tees.
For golfers, Velden Köstenberg is all about natural character. The course blends into the landscape with undulating terrain, quick greens, water hazards, wetland biotopes, forested surroundings and natural streams. That makes it a round where accuracy, club selection and patience matter, especially when the elevation and scenery start doing their usual trick of distracting you mid-swing.
As part of a Carinthia golf holiday, it pairs beautifully with nearby courses around Lake Wörthersee, Klagenfurt, Dellach, Moosburg Pörtschach and Schloss Finkenstein. Hashtag Golf Travel can help arrange the right flights, hotels, transfers and tee times, creating a smooth Austrian golf escape with lakeside charm, alpine scenery and plenty of course variety.

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.
