Golf & Wellness

Impeccable fairways, challenging greens, and the panorama of the Kitzbühel Alps: a golf holiday in Saalbach Hinterglemm blends sporting challenge with alpine relaxation. Surrounding the 4*S Hotel Alpin Juwel, run by the Schwabl family, you will find the most beautiful golf courses in the Salzburg region – and after your final putt, the perfect rejuvenation awaits right at the hotel in our JU-WELL Spa.

The Top Golf Courses in the Area

As a guest at Hotel Alpin Juwel, you can tee off at the most renowned facilities in the region. Thanks to our hotel’s central location, you can reach the finest tee boxes in just a short drive:

Golfclub Zell am See-Kaprun (approx. 25-minute drive)

One of the most beautiful 36-hole facilities in the Alps. The two championship courses are named after the region's most prominent mountains:

• Schmittenhöhe Course (18 holes, Par 72): Flat layout, yet strategically demanding. Featuring plenty of water hazards, mature trees, and, on clear days, an unobstructed view of the glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern.
• Kitzsteinhorn Course (18 holes, Par 72): Also set in the flat valley basin, this course challenges single-handicappers and casual golfers alike with tricky bunker landscapes and undulating greens.
• A spacious driving range, a first-class golf academy, and a club restaurant with an inviting sun terrace complete the resort.

Golfclub Urslautal in Maria Alm (approx. 35-minute drive)

A magnificent 18-hole course (Par 71) at the foot of the majestic Steinernes Meer mountain range. The facility is harmoniously integrated into the natural landscape and offers a balance of fair challenge and diverse layouts. Above all, the breathtaking panorama makes every round here a truly unique experience.

Golfclub Gut Brandlhof in Saalfelden

A true highlight for nature and dog lovers – dogs are explicitly welcome on the course on a leash. This 18-hole championship course (Par 72) runs alongside the Saalach river, which comes into play as a hazard several times. The fairways can be narrow, so those who hit precise shots will thrive here. The flat terrain ensures a relaxed yet sporting and exciting round against the backdrop of the Leogang Mountains.

Other Leading Golf Courses Within Easy Reach

• Golfclub Mittersill-Stuhlfelden (approx. 45-minute drive): An idyllic 18-hole course set right in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park.
• Golfclub Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith (approx. 60-minute drive): A premier destination and an absolute classic in the Kitzbühel Alps.

A golf swing naturally puts a one-sided strain on the body – making your back, shoulders, and lower back crave targeted recovery after an 18-hole round. Our wellness concept at Alpin Juwel is precisely tailored to this need:

• JU-WELL Spa: Our in-house wellness highlight fuses modern Western recovery with the time-honored, holistic healing wisdom of Ayurveda.
• Targeted Treatments for Golfers: Bespoke massages precisely loosen the strained muscles in the lower back, neck, and shoulder areas right after your round.
• Swim and Sauna Above the Rooftops: Relax in our panoramic indoor pool, the outdoor pool overlooking the Pinzgau mountains, or across our expansive sauna landscape.
