Park Golf Club Ostrava

The Park Golf Club Ostrava is located on the edge of the Northern Moravian town of Šilheřovice in the Moravian-Silesian region not far from the Polish border. The club’s grounds are located in the Šilheřovice castle park, dating from the 17th century. It was once in the Rothschild family’s possession that had the park constructed in 1820 in English style with exotic trees. The slightly hilly course at the Park Golf Club Ostrava passes 200-year old oak trees and other rare trees at 235 meters. The club can be quickly reached from the nearby city of Ostrava (German: Mährisch-Ostrau) via Route 56 in 25 minutes. It was founded in 1968, but opened its 18-hole course, type parkland with par 71, in 1970. The golf course architect Jan Cieslar was responsible for its design. He created long, narrow, tree-lined fairways and greens that are rather small and quite wavy. An additional difficult pose single trees placed in the center of the fairways, in addition to doglegs. Interesting holes on the 5,780-meter long course include hole 7, where golfers must play over the water, as well as holes 9 and 11 that share a tee on an island green. The championship course at the Park Golf Club Ostrava is a very technical course among the top five golf courses in the Czech Republic.
