Czechia Golf Holidays
One of Europe's best value golf secrets, on the doorstep of one of its most beautiful cities. Czechia pairs DP World Tour venues near Prague with historic spa town courses in Bohemia, all for a fraction of western European prices. Here is who it suits, the courses to build around and what to budget for 2026.

Who it suits
Czechia is the value play for golfers who want quality without the western European price tag, wrapped around a city break in Prague. The standout is the cluster of modern championship resorts near the capital, two of which host professional golf, joined by a charming run of older courses in the Bohemian spa towns. It suits groups, couples and society trips who want strong golf, great beer and food, and one of the great European cities thrown in.
Most trips base in or near Prague, with the marquee rounds at Albatross and Oaks Prague within easy reach and the castle course at Karlstejn just down the road. Add a couple of nights in the grand spa town of Karlovy Vary, two hours west, and you can fold golf, spa treatments and the elegant colonnades of Bohemia into the same week. The flight is short from across Europe and the value is exceptional.
Courses to build around
Albatross Golf Resort · Keith Preston
The top rated course in the country, a Keith Preston design opened in 2009 and the host of the DP World Tour Czech Masters since 2014. A modern championship test 30 minutes west of Prague and the headline round.
Oaks Prague · Kyle Phillips
The PGA National Czech Republic, a Kyle Phillips course whose full 18 opened in 2020 on a 140 hectare country estate less than half an hour from the centre of Prague. A polished, big budget layout and a clear number two.
Golf Resort Karlstejn
One of the most visited courses in the country, 27 holes about 40 minutes from Prague with stunning views of the medieval Karlstejn Castle above the fairways. A scenic, characterful round and an easy add.
Golf Resort Karlovy Vary
One of the oldest courses in central Europe, first played in 1904, set just outside the famous spa town. Mature, tree lined and full of history, and the heart of a Bohemian spa and golf stay.
Greensgate and the wider scene
Czechia has a deep bench of good resort courses beyond the headliners, including Greensgate near Pilsen, so a longer stay can add variety. We confirm current access and conditioning for each when planning.
Beyond the course
A Czechia golf trip pairs naturally with Prague's old town and castle, the beer halls and restaurants, and the colonnades, spa treatments and grand hotels of Karlovy Vary and the Bohemian spa triangle.
Designers, years and tournament history verified June 2026 from the clubs and recognized course databases.

Access and green fees change, so always confirm with each club before booking.
A sample week, Prague and Bohemia
Arrive in Prague
Fly into Prague, settle in the old town or near the courses, and open with dinner and a Czech beer.
Albatross
The marquee tour venue west of the city, then an evening exploring Prague's old town and the castle quarter.
Oaks Prague
The Kyle Phillips estate course close to the centre, with time afterwards for the river, the bridges and a long dinner.
Karlstejn and drive west
A scenic round below Karlstejn Castle, then transfer west to the spa town of Karlovy Vary.
Karlovy Vary
The historic spa town course in the morning, then the colonnades, a spa treatment and the grand hotels.
Spa, golf and home
A final round or a spa day, then transfers back to Prague for the flight home.
The Prague resort courses sit within roughly 30 to 45 minutes of the city; Karlovy Vary is about two hours west, so a hire car keeps the daily drives short.
