DAY 1 EMBARKATION – BUDAPEST, HUNGARY

Arrive in Budapest and board your luxurious river cruise ship. (D)

DAY 2 BUDAPEST: Pannonia Golf & Country Club (golfers); City Tour (non-golf option)

PANNONIA COUNTRY CLUB: Host of the Hungarian Open. The 18-hole golf course of Pannonia Golf & Country Club was designed by the famous Austrian course designer Hans G. Erhardt. The golf course lies in a valley so the varied forms of its fairways provide a great golf experience. Lakes come into play at 8 holes and pin placements may also present a challenge at the hilly greens. With 6 different tee-boxes, both beginners and advanced players can get a true and fair idea of their golf skills. The natural environment and the beautiful, carefully maintained course inspires golfers to hit great shots. Erhardt also designed the Golf course Fontana, host of the Austrian Open for many years, and believes that Pannonia is still the best course in Hungary.

The Nicklaus Design LEGENDS COURSE complies with USGA standards at the world PGA level. 60% of the world’s golf courses which host PGA tournaments have been designed by Nicklaus Design. Along with many other scenic features, this course counts the longest hole in Europe among its challenges. The 787 Yard par 6 15th hole awaits golf enthusiasts, offering 11 tees. The view alone is fascinating. [See separate post entitled Romantic Danube/Melodies of the Danube River Cruise for details of the City Tour option]

DIAMOND COUNTRY CLUB, DIAMOND COURSE: Host of the Lyoness Austrian Open This Championship course, host of the Lyoness Open, on the outskirts of Vienna, challenges every player’s ability thanks to the need for good course management and that important element of water. The 8th hole was designed by the legendary Miguel Angel Jimenez and really emulates the iconic Spaniard. Experience the European Tour standard which allows for precise shots in challenging settings, far from those packed fairways. The trim cut grass and perfectly kept greens allow for the best games of golf, surrounded by beautiful and fair water hazards.

DAY 6 LINZ, AUSTRIA: Excursions (both golfers and non-golf option)

DAY 7 PASSAU, GERMANY – VILSHOFEN: QUELLNESS GOLF RESORT BECKENBAUER COURSE (golfers): Excursions (non-golf option)

QUELLNESS GOLF RESORT BECKENBAUER COURSE: Host of the Porsche European Open Regal golfing pleasure on lush greens and perfect fairways – this championship course, created by former Masters champion Bernhard Langer, seems to be one with the meadow landscape surrounding the small river Rott and was awarded a “world class” rating within one year of opening. The 18 holes in Penning, right beside the Porsche Golf Course, do indeed pack a punch. They don’t hold back when it comes to challenges, but also offer sufficient opportunities for some serious success. What makes this golf course so special is the quality of the hand-mown greens and fairways, which remain tip-top even during the summer thanks to a double-row irrigation system [See separate post entitled Romantic Danube/Melodies of the Danube River Cruise for details of the Excursions option]
