QUELLNESS GOLF RESORT BECKENBAUER COURSE
Bad Griesbach, Germany
The host of the Porsche European Open
Regal golfing pleasure on lush greens and perfect fairways – this championship course, created by former Masters champion Bernhard Langer, seemed to be one with the meadow landscape surrounding the small river Rott and was awarded a “world-class” rating within one year of opening. The 18 holes in Penning, right beside the Porsche Golf Course, pack a punch. They don’t hold back regarding challenges but offer enough opportunities for serious success.
What makes this golf course so special is the quality of the hand-mown greens and fairways, which remain tip-top even during the summer thanks to a double-row irrigation system.

PANNONIA COUNTRY CLUB
Budapest, Hungary
The host of the Hungarian Open
The 18-hole golf course of Pannonia Golf & Country Club was designed by the famous Austrian course designer Hans G. Erhardt. The golf course lies in a valley, so the varied forms of its fairways provide a great golf experience. Lakes come into play at eight holes, and pin placements may challenge the hilly greens. With six different tee boxes, beginners and advanced players can get a true and fair idea of their golf skills. The natural environment and the beautiful, carefully maintained course inspire golf players to hit great shots.
Erhardt also designed Fontana’s golf course, which has hosted the Austrian Open for many years, and believes that Pannonia is still the best course in Hungary.
