Golfclub Gut Altentann is a standout choice for an Austria golf holiday, especially for golfers who want championship pedigree close to Salzburg. Set in Henndorf am Wallersee, around 20 minutes from Salzburg, the course has real significance as the first 18-hole course on the European mainland designed by Jack Nicklaus.

The course opened in 1989 and plays as an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout, measuring 6,110 metres from the white tees. It is an undulating course with water hazards, strategic bunkering and enough difficulty to keep better players fully engaged, while still offering an enjoyable round for confident holiday golfers.

Gut Altentann also has strong tournament history, having hosted the Austrian Open from 1990 to 1992, with the venue also linked to the Austrian Alpine Open in 2025. That gives the course a proper championship feel without losing the relaxed beauty of its Salzburg countryside setting.

For a golf holiday in Austria, Gut Altentann works beautifully as part of a Salzburg or Salzkammergut itinerary. Golfers can combine it with nearby courses around Salzburg, Mondsee and Fuschlsee, while also enjoying Salzburg’s old town, lakes, mountain scenery and restaurants away from the course. Hashtag Golf Travel can help arrange the right flights, hotels, transfers and tee times, creating a smooth Austrian golf break with proper design pedigree.
