Golfing in Croatia - the most beautiful golf courses in the country

The Perfect Golf Vacation in Croatia

There are many reasons why Croatia has gained increasing popularity among golfers in recent years. The beautiful landscapes and mild climate are certainly two of them. The fact is, Croatia offers the best conditions for golfers among us to experience an eventful golf vacation on the Adriatic Sea all year round. Although you won't find large-scale golf courses in Croatia, there are a variety of small to medium-sized golf courses.

Beginners, as well as the more experienced, will surely enjoy themselves – that's for sure! For example, in the Istria region, there are two golf courses directly by the sea. One couldn't imagine golfing in Croatia any more beautifully. But there are also more golf courses inland, near Zagreb. You can find out which ones they are further down. However, the Brijuni Golf Course is particularly noteworthy. As the name suggests, this golf course is located on the island of Brijuni in the Istria region. The special thing about it: The course is situated in the middle of the Brijuni National Park.

In this nature reserve, there is a safari park inhabited by deer, peacocks, and other exciting animal species. For every golfer who tees off on this course, an experience is definitely guaranteed. Most golf clubs have usually taken care of everything.

This includes, among other things, the rental of all golf equipment, such as clubs and balls, as well as professional training sessions for beginners and advanced players. If you specifically want to stay near one of these golf courses, we have listed all the nearby villas from Crovillas for each golf course further down.

Country Club Zagreb

The goal of creating an exclusive golf course in close proximity to the city was perfectly implemented by the Golf & Country Club Zagreb. The golf course on the outskirts of Zagreb is ideal for making and maintaining new contacts. On 18 public holes and another 9 holes reserved for members only, you can prove your skills and experience a sporty day amidst a well-maintained landscape. The area includes a practice range where up to 40 people can practice their swing simultaneously and another 15 spots reserved exclusively for golf instructors and their students. The golf course in Zagreb is thus the ideal place for business people to make contacts during a round of golf, but also for families as there are plenty of leisure options (playground, restaurants, and bars) around the course.
