Golf has become one
of the most booming sports in the Czech Republic. Although the Golf club
in Karlovy Vary was established in 1904 and the Golf course in Mariánské
Lázně in 1905, the majority of new golf courses is created in the present
period. The 18-hole golf courses, such as Prague-Karlštejn, Karlovy Vary
and Mariánské Lázně, are located in beautiful landscapes and offer a nice
combination of superb lodging and dining with great golf experience.
