Prague City Golf Zbraslav
The only eighteen hole course within the city of Prague, Prague City Golf at Zbraslav opened in 2009 to a links inspired design by Jeremy Ford and Alex Cejka. A par 72 of reddish sandy wastes, rolling greens and deep bunkers, it sits barely fifteen minutes from the centre of one of Europe's most beautiful capitals.

The verdict
Prague City Golf is the rare championship course you can reach on a short drive from a great European capital. Opened at Zbraslav in 2009, it was shaped by the Scottish architect Jeremy Ford with the Czech born tour professional Alex Cejka into a links inspired layout, all reddish sandy wastes, spill offs and rolling greens, on the southern edge of Prague. It is the only eighteen hole course inside the city, and it brings a genuine seaside flavour to a landlocked country.
The result is a course that punches above its setting. The sandy wastes are playable rather than penal, the greens have real movement, and the routing gives the golfer a strategic round rather than a simple parkland stroll. For a visitor it is the obvious choice, a serious eighteen holes folded neatly into a Prague city break, with the old town, the castle and the river all close at hand.

The holes worth the trip
The character here is borrowed from the seaside and transplanted to the Vltava valley. Ford and Cejka built the course around broad reddish sandy wastes that frame the fairways without swallowing every loose shot, giving the round the look and feel of a links while keeping it playable for the recreational golfer. The greens are large and rolling, with the spill offs around them asking for a deft short game.
Position is the theme. The sandy areas and deep bunkers reward the player who picks a line and commits, and the contoured greens make approach play and pace on the putter the difference between a good score and a frustrating one. It is a thinking golfer's layout, more strategic than its easy access and city setting might suggest.
Refined again for the 2024 season, the course is in fine shape and remains the most convenient serious round near Prague. Play it for the novelty of links golf in the heart of central Europe and stay for the genuine quality of the test.
