In summer you can play the full 18-hole course on your golf vacation, crossing the footbridge to the north side of the river.
Dramatic scenes full of lavish forests and magnificent mountains provide a picture-perfect backdrop not only for players on the course, but also for guests who can sit back, relax and enjoy a delicious, freshly prepared meal in the clubhouse.
