The narrow, winding road to the course was well marked, and around the first two holes and the driving range, I arrived at a nice clubhouse with a restaurant.
The first hole is surrounded by a driving range and a driveway. It widens towards the green, so there should be no problem with the impact point. After all, the road with passing cars (very rarely) will not give the first shot much momentum. You will also encounter a lot of stray driving balls on the fairway. At the end of this par four, there is a raised green, which is also not very large. I preferred to make the second shot to the green shorter, because there is a road behind it and I couldn’t see what it looks like around the green from below. But the second time you can play more comfortably.
After the second hole, you go through an underpass under the train tracks and go to the “main” course, where there are holes three to seventeen. From here, you have a magnificent view of Ještěd the whole time. Really great relaxation.
On the third hole, there are yellow tees on a raised platform under the railway line. The following holes, four to eight, are unremarkable and relaxing. The course lacks stones on the tees, which would show where the length of the hole is actually measured from. I don’t really need it, but it would be particularly noticeable on the sixth hole. The sixth is 92 meters long, and the tee is about twenty meters long. That’s a difference. Moreover, the distances stated on the scorecard and information boards differ for many holes.
On the ninth hole, everything changes again and a series of really interesting holes begins. The nine is a classic concept 🙂 You simply shoot downhill to the green, and of course there is a pond next to the green. I liked the ten the most. Trees partially shade you from the tee, and the fairway curves nicely around them. The green is then protected by several trees. The hole is not difficult, but you have to use your head on it. The series of nice holes continues until the fifteenth (also really nice
Sixteen, seventeen – they are played from the mats, and they are par threes put into a tight corner of the course.
On seventeen I got a slight, really slight slip to the left and behind the green, and I almost shot people on the tee of the third, which is very close to the green.
The 18th then goes back to the clubhouse. The driving range is on the left this time. And again – the scorecard shows that this par three is 218 meters from the yellow. I was the first shot on the green, and even though the hole slopes down, I’m not good enough to play this.
The course is generally nice. Even on Sunday, there were just enough people, and the game was beautifully smooth. The restaurant cooks well, and the people are nice too.
