Golfing Opportunities in the Stainz Area

A golf day starts long before the first tee-off - with the view of fairways winding between vineyards and old stands of trees. West Styria has more to offer here than you'd expect at first glance: several courses within less than an hour's drive, each with its own character.

From the apartments at Johann & Anna in Stainz, most are reachable in 10 to 45 minutes - close enough for a morning round and a quiet afternoon afterward in the garden by the Stainzbach.

Schloß Frauenthal Golf Club

Distance from Stainz: about 10 minutes

The nearest course sits in the middle of a historic castle park. Mature trees, water hazards, and a few elevation changes make the 18 holes varied - manageable for beginners, still interesting for experienced players. A golf school and practice facilities are on site as well.

Murstätten Golf Club

Distance from Stainz: about 40 minutes

One of the country's largest facilities: 36 holes across two standalone 18-hole courses. The championship course is considered one of the more demanding in Austria, well maintained and clearly built to international standards - a real sporting challenge if that's what you're after.

Archduke Johann Golf Club, Maria Lankowitz

Distance from Stainz: about 30 minutes

The name isn't a coincidence: Archduke Johann, whose history is closely tied to Stainz, is considered one of the region's key figures. The course looks out over the surrounding hills and Maria Lankowitz Monastery - well maintained, quiet, without much bustle.

Murhof Golf Club

Distance from Stainz: about 45 minutes

One of the oldest and best-known courses in Austria, laid out park-style with mature trees and several ponds. If you're interested in golf history, you'll also find one of the country's most respected golf academies here.

Further courses in the region

A bit further, but still workable as a day trip:

• Graz-Puntigam Golf Club (about 30 minutes) - a modern 9-hole course, good for a quick round
• Bad Gleichenberg Golf Club (about 60 minutes) - a hilly 9-hole course in the spa region
• Thermengolf Loipersdorf (about 60 minutes) - 27 holes, easy to combine with a visit to the thermal spa

A golf holiday without the hotel routine

If you're planning several golf days in a row, you'll quickly notice how much difference an apartment makes over a hotel room: a kitchen for a quiet breakfast before an early tee time, room to stow your gear properly, and a garden where the day can wind down without anyone else's schedule to work around. That's exactly what the five apartments at Johann & Anna in Stainz offer.
