Everything about the top golf courses in Carinthia
Carinthia has one of the most atmospheric golf settings in Austria. For golfers looking at the top golf courses in Carinthia, Golf Club Dellach on the Wörthersee is the key reference point and the course that gives the region its clearest identity.
Dellach stands out because it feels rooted in place. The combination of lake scenery, club heritage and a softer southern climate gives the golf a mood that differs noticeably from the colder and more overtly Alpine provinces.
That southern feeling is a large part of the wider appeal. Carinthia benefits from lake culture, cross-border influences from Italy and Slovenia and an easy summer travel rhythm that pairs well with golf.
Carinthia is therefore attractive not only because of Dellach, but because the whole region feels warm, relaxed and distinct. For many golfers, that atmosphere is exactly the point.
