Fontana Golf Club
Oberwaltersdorf
Fontana Golf Club is one of Austria’s standout championship golf venues and a fantastic choice for golfers looking to combine premium golf with a Vienna city break. Located in Oberwaltersdorf, south of Vienna and within easy reach of Vienna-Schwechat Airport, it offers a polished resort-style experience without feeling too far from the capital.
The 18-hole Championship Course is a par-72 layout designed by Doug Carrick and Hans-Georg Erhardt. From the back tees it stretches to 6,738 metres, with a flatter landscape, large water hazards and plenty of strategic bunkering making accuracy just as important as distance. It is a course that looks immaculate, but it is not just there for show — the water, fast greens and changing pin positions give every round a proper test.
Fontana has serious tournament pedigree too, having hosted European Tour events in Austria between 2006 and 2009. That gives it extra appeal for golfers who enjoy playing venues with a professional championship feel.
The focal point is the huge man-made lake, which shapes the drama of the closing holes and gives the clubhouse a really impressive setting. Off the course, golfers can enjoy the clubhouse restaurant, pro shop, practice facilities, fitness and wellness areas, plus a sandy lake beach during summer.
For an Austria golf holiday, Fontana works brilliantly alongside nearby courses such as Diamond Country Club and Adamstal, while Vienna adds culture, restaurants and sightseeing after golf.

About The Area
Oberwaltersdorf is a small market town south of Vienna, set in the Vienna Basin on the Triesting River. It works brilliantly as a golf base because it gives travellers a quieter countryside setting while still being close to the Austrian capital, the Vienna Woods and the Thermenregion wine area. Wienerwald tourism places Oberwaltersdorf around 25km from Vienna and highlights local sights, walking routes and good gastronomy, which makes it a handy base rather than just a place to play and leave.
The headline venue is Fontana Golf Club, one of Austria’s most prestigious golf facilities. Its 18-hole championship course is known for polished presentation, water hazards, bunkering and a fair but demanding layout. Lower Austria tourism notes that Fontana was a European Tour venue in Austria from 2006 to 2009, giving it strong tournament pedigree. The club itself describes Fontana as one of Austria’s most exclusive courses, only a few minutes from Vienna, with high-level conditioning, challenging design and first-class service.
Golf here is best from spring to autumn, especially April to October, when conditions are more comfortable and the course is at its most enjoyable. The layout is ideal for golfers who like a premium resort-style round where water, pin positions and approach play matter.
Off the course, Oberwaltersdorf is well placed for relaxed exploring. The nearby Vienna Woods offer hiking, mountain biking routes, wine taverns and traditional inns, while the wider Thermenregion is known for vineyards, local wines and spa culture south of Vienna. Baden, Vienna and the Danube region are all realistic additions for dining, culture or a non-golf day.
For golfers seeking championship golf, easy Vienna access and a calmer Lower Austrian base, Oberwaltersdorf is a small destination with a seriously strong golf identity.
