Golfing in Austria

Hello!
My boyfriend and I are going to Austria Juy23-Aug 2. He has never been overseas and wants to do a round of golf. I looked at Tyrol region, however am open to anything you can think of. Anyone have experience or suggestions on which courses have amazing scenery?

Thanks! sarah

So will you be in the Tirol, or elsewhere in Austria? One of my colleagues is a keen golfer, so I can ask him for his opinion. I do know, however, that the courses in Austria are pretty strict about who can play on their courses. For most courses, you need to be able to provide proof of membership to a club or evidence that you are a decent golfer. Will he bring his own clubs, or need to rent?

There's a public course in Radstadt. Not in Tyrol, but in neighboring Salzburgerland. Despite the fantastic mountain scenery and nearby ski resorts, for some reason this area doesn't see a whole lot of tourism in the summer. I like the nearby ski resort of Obertauern, although it's almost completely dead in the summer. But because it sits at high altitude, it provides a nice escape from occassional summer heat waves.
