History<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tradition. Challenge. Beauty.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1972. The birth of the 5-star Hotel Schloss Pichlarn also marks the beginning of the success story of Golf & Country Club Schloss Pichlarn. Founded at that time with 9 holes, the beautiful course is the second oldest golf course in Styria and one of the oldest golf courses in Austria<\/strong>. Fritz Ries, the owner of Hotel Schloss Pichlarn at that time, did real pioneering work with the construction of the golf course.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The signature of Donald Harradine<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>

In the mid-1980s, architect Donald Harradine<\/strong>, one of the pioneers of European golf<\/strong>, extended the course to 18 holes. To this day, the golf course bears his elegant signature: the perfect harmony of the hills and valleys of the terrain and all the requirements that a sporting course should fulfill.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Reopening with Bernhard Langer<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>

The Pichlarn golf course was put through its paces when it reopened in 1985. The then reigning US Masters Champion Bernhard Langer<\/strong> did the honors at Pichlarn. His course record of 66 strokes<\/strong>, set at the opening, stood for more than 25 years. Word of this record got around and made GCC Schloss Pichlarn famous far beyond the borders of the country.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stories that (golfer) life writes<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>

The irons have been swung in Pichlarn for over 50 years now. One tournament highlight followed the other. Here, between the Schladming-Dachstein region and the Ges\u00e4use National Park, memories for life have been created – from the albatross (American Double Eagle) to the 4-iron that was deliberately dumped in the pond.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A look into the future<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div>

Tradition, challenge and beauty – these attributes are often mentioned at the same time as GCC Schloss Pichlarn. However, beauty alone is not enough for us. Sustainability<\/strong> and the claim to constantly improve in the spirit of nature is an important pillar of the IMLAUER philosophy<\/strong>. This is also evident on the golf course. So that we can still be proud of this golf course in 50 years’ time.<\/p>\n<\/div>
