Golfclub Föhrenwald
Vienna
Golfclub Föhrenwald is a strong choice for an Austria golf holiday, especially for golfers who want traditional parkland golf within easy reach of Vienna. Set in Lanzenkirchen near Wiener Neustadt, the club sits in the Föhrenwald forest area of Lower Austria, giving the course a peaceful, wooded feel while still being practical for flights, hotels and wider sightseeing around Vienna. Vienna International Airport is around 69–70km away by road, making it a sensible option for a short Austrian golf break.
The course has plenty of heritage, with Golfarea 36 noting that GC Föhrenwald has offered classic parkland golf since 1968. The main layout is an 18-hole championship course, set among pine forest, wide meadows and gentle natural scenery. Regional tourism information describes 18 mostly flat holes leading through open fairways and shaded corridors towards fast greens and strong bunkering, with some holes shaped around former gravel pits.
For holiday golfers, Föhrenwald offers a lovely mix of playability, quality and tradition. Practice facilities include a driving range, putting green, pitching green, chipping green, practice bunker and a 3-hole short course, which makes it useful for warm-up golf or mixed-ability groups.
As part of an Austria golf holiday, Föhrenwald pairs naturally with GC Linsberg, just 4.5km away, giving golfers access to a wider 36-hole Golfarea 36 experience. Hashtag Golf Travel can help arrange the right flights, hotels, transfers and tee times, creating a smooth Lower Austria golf break with Vienna close enough for culture, restaurants and city exploring.

About The Area
Wien, better known in English as Vienna, is one of Europe’s most elegant city bases for a golf holiday. It combines accessible courses with imperial architecture, coffee-house culture, wine taverns and the River Danube, making it ideal for golfers who want a proper city break alongside their rounds.
The most central option is Golf Club Wien, Austria’s oldest golf club and a traditional city course with a classic clubhouse feel. For a more modern setup, Golfpark Vienna offers an 18-hole championship-style course, a 9-hole course and extensive practice facilities, making it useful for mixed-ability groups or arrival-day golf. Just outside the city, Fontana Golf Club near Baden is one of the region’s strongest championship venues, with high-end facilities, water hazards and convenient access from both Vienna city centre and Vienna-Schwechat Airport.
Golf around Wien is best from April to October, with May to September usually offering the most comfortable temperatures, longer daylight and stronger course conditions. The city’s location also makes it easy to combine golf with nearby Lower Austria courses such as Diamond Country Club in Atzenbrugg or Golfclub Schloss Schönborn near Göllersdorf.
Off the course, Vienna is superb. The historic centre, Schönbrunn Palace, museums, opera houses and traditional cafés give the city huge cultural depth. Its wine culture is also a major bonus: Vienna is unusual because it grows enough wine within the city limits to be genuinely significant, and its Heurige wine taverns are a classic post-round experience.
For golfers seeking refined city life, quality nearby golf and memorable evenings filled with food, wine and culture, Wien is one of Central Europe’s most polished and enjoyable golf escapes.
