Golf in Prague: 3 Great Itineraries for a Golf Weekend
PRAGUE
3 rounds · 2–3 nights · 3 itinerary ideas
Plan the trip. Play the golf. Keep every round live with Caddie Live.
Three rounds, some of the Czech Republic's best courses, and three different ways to build a Prague golf trip.
Prague is not the first place most groups think of for golf, and that is largely the point. Within about an hour of the Old Town there is an unusually strong collection of courses — a Kyle Phillips championship layout, a Scottish-style links on the Vltava river terrace, a DP World Tour venue, a semi-links course at the end of a metro line, and a mountain resort with houseboats on its own lake. The city itself needs no introduction, the beer is famously good and famously cheap, and the whole thing sits inside a long weekend.
What Prague gives you that a Mediterranean resort trip generally does not is choice about what kind of trip you're having. The courses are spread across three distinct settings — inside the city, out in the Bohemian countryside, and up in the Jizera foothills — so the same three rounds can be a city break with golf attached, a small road trip, or a golf-and-spa week in miniature.
This guide sets out three ways to build it:
- Stay close to Prague — three courses inside the city's orbit, minimal driving, maximum time in town.
- Add a night in the Bohemian countryside — one leg out into the hills, including a night on the water.
- Make it golf and wellness — a more premium version with a sauna at both ends.
All three are three rounds. All three are built from the same short list of courses, so you can swap between them freely — and none of them is a package you have to buy. They are itinerary shapes, with the research behind them, for a group planning its own trip.

Itinerary 1 — The Prague Circuit
Best for: golf + Prague city break
Three courses close to Prague, minimal travelling, and plenty of opportunity to actually spend time in the city. Everything sits inside greater Prague, so one car covers the whole trip — and on the evenings when nobody wants to drive, the public transport genuinely works.
Round 1
Golf Resort Black Bridge
Prague 9 — Černý Most
18 holes · Par 72 · approx. 6,300 m
Fifteen minutes from the middle of Prague and you are on a flat, wind-exposed, semi-links course with fescue-topped mounds framing the fairways and the city skyline on the horizon. The greens are fast, there is very little tree cover, and the wind is a genuine part of the test rather than an occasional nuisance.
It makes an ideal arrival-day round. It's the closest of the three to the airport and the centre, it's open year-round, and because it's flat and walkable you can play it on tired legs after a morning flight. The floodlit range with heated bays is also the best place on this trip to find a swing before the golf gets serious. And if the first evening turns long, Metro line B runs from the course back into town.
- Semi-links character
- Exposed to the wind
- Fast greens
- Floodlit range with heated bays
- Open year-round
- Getting there
- About 15 minutes from central Prague; Metro line B runs to Černý Most
- Staying over
- Apartments directly on the course
Round 2 — the headline round
The Oaks — PGA National Czech Republic
Nebřenice / Popovičky
18 holes · Par 72 · 5,500–7,700 yds
Kyle Phillips — the architect behind Kingsbarns — was given 140 hectares of Bohemian countryside and built what the research consistently rates the finest course in the country. Broad, rumpled fairways, sand sprawling across the landscape, and greens that reward the player thinking one shot ahead rather than one shot at a time.
This is the round the trip is built around, so give it the middle day when everyone is fresh and nobody is watching the clock for a flight. Note the Monday closure when you're picking dates.
- Kyle Phillips design
- Broad rolling fairways
- Extensive bunkering
- Strategic greens
- Rated No.1 in the Czech Republic
- DP World Tour host
- Getting there
- About 30 minutes south-east of Prague; closed on Mondays
- Staying over
- No accommodation used in these itineraries — played as a day round from Prague
Round 3
Prague City Golf Zbraslav
Prague 5 — Lipence
18 holes · Par 72 · approx. 6,719 yds
Scotland, transplanted into the Vltava valley. Mick McShane — who shaped the Castle Course at St Andrews — cut red-sand waste areas, pot bunkers and spill-off greens into the river terrace, and the whole thing runs firm and fast when the weather allows.
A convenient final round: twenty minutes south of the centre, so you can play in the morning and still be back in Prague for the afternoon — or straight on to the airport. After two days of wide fairways it's also a pleasant change of texture, and firm ground rewards a run-up rather than a carry.
- Scottish-inspired design
- Red-sand waste areas
- Pot bunkers
- Firm-running character
- Challenge Tour host
- 48-bay range
- Getting there
- About 20 minutes south of central Prague
- Staying over
- The club's stay-and-play packages use apartments at its Vinoř site rather than at Zbraslav itself
The Prague Circuit
Best for: golf + Prague city break
- Day 1 — Black Bridge — Golf + stay
- Day 2 — The Oaks — Headline round
- Day 3 — Zbraslav — Final round
From approximately €420 per golfer

Itinerary 2 — The Bohemian Loop
Best for: golf + something memorable
The same golf, plus one night that people will still be talking about a year later. You open in the hills an hour north of the city, sleep on the water, then drop back into Prague for the last two rounds. The Liberec leg needs a car and about an hour each way up the D10 — the trade is 450 metres of altitude, mountain views on most holes, and a night that no resort hotel is going to match.
Round 1
Ypsilon Golf Resort Liberec
Fojtka, in the Jizera foothills
18 holes · Par 72 · approx. 6,102 m
An hour north of the city the land lifts into the Jizera foothills, where Keith Preston threaded 6,102 metres through 102 hectares without moving much earth. Wide tumbling fairways, four par-5s averaging 460 metres, a 6th cut deep into the forest, and mountain views from most of the round.
The houseboats are the reason this itinerary exists. Ten of them sit on the resort's own lake, a few minutes from the first tee, and they turn an ordinary first night into the story of the trip. There are enough for a decent-sized group — but ask for them specifically, because they're the first thing to go.
- Keith Preston design
- 420–470 m elevation
- Rolling countryside and mountain views
- Ten houseboats on the resort lake
- Panoramic restaurant over the course
- Getting there
- About an hour north of Prague — this leg needs a car or a van
- Staying over
- Resort rooms, plus ten houseboats moored on the resort's own lake
Round 2 — back in Prague
Golf Resort Black Bridge
Prague 9 — Černý Most · 18 holes · Par 72 · approx. 6,300 m
Coming down out of the hills, this is the natural landing point: it's the first golf you reach on the way back into the city from the north, and it puts you within a metro ride of dinner.
Round 3 — championship finish
The Oaks — PGA National Czech Republic
Nebřenice / Popovičky · 18 holes · Par 72 · 5,500–7,700 yds
Saving the best course for last gives the trip a proper final act, and The Oaks is comfortably the strongest test of the three. Check the Monday closure before you fix the dates.
The Bohemian Loop
Best for: golf + something memorable
- Day 1 — Ypsilon — Golf + houseboat stay
- Day 2 — Black Bridge — Return to Prague
- Day 3 — The Oaks — Championship finish
From approximately €446 per golfer
Indicative example based on researched 2026/27 golf and accommodation rates for a group of four sharing. Current prices and availability will vary.
Itinerary 3 — The Sauna Circuit
Best for: premium golf + wellness
The first two itineraries are golf with somewhere to sleep. This one is a trip. You open in the hills at Panorama with a sauna and steam room waiting after the round, then move into Prague for two nights and play the two strongest championship courses in the region back to back. It's an extra night, a fourth venue and two spas, and it lands roughly €145 a head above the Prague Circuit.
Round 1
Panorama Golf Resort
Kácov, in the Sázava valley
27 holes · three returning loops of nine
Three returning nines cut into the hills above the Sázava valley, with a timber clubhouse and hotel sitting over the resort's own lake. It is properly hilly, so a buggy is worth the money — and the wellness centre afterwards is the whole point of this itinerary.
A deliberately relaxed first night away from the city. Twenty-seven holes means you can play nine more if the group is keen, and the wellness centre — ten-person sauna, steam room, whirlpools, counter-current pool — is what separates this itinerary from the other two. It is hilly, so take the buggies.
- 27 holes across three loops
- Hilly upland setting
- Ten-person sauna
- 45°C steam room
- Two whirlpools
- Counter-current pool
- Getting there
- Kácov, in the Sázava valley south-east of Prague — a countryside base rather than a city one
- Staying over
- Hotel on site, over the resort's own lake, with a wellness centre
Round 2 — premium championship round
The Oaks — PGA National Czech Republic
Nebřenice / Popovičky · 18 holes · Par 72 · 5,500–7,700 yds
With three nights you can give The Oaks a full day rather than squeezing it between transfers, which is how a course of this quality deserves to be played.
Round 3 — tournament-style finish
Albatross Golf Resort
Vysoký Újezd, west of Prague
18 holes · Par 72
Twenty-five minutes west of the city, a Patrick Koenig championship layout of two returning nines that both finish with water hard against the clubhouse. It has hosted the DP World Tour's Czech Masters, and it plays like a course that expects to be on television.
A fitting last round: a Tour venue twenty-five minutes from the city, with both nines finishing over water in front of the clubhouse. If the trip has come down to the last few holes, this is a good place for it to happen.
- Championship set-up
- Patrick Koenig design
- Both nines finish over water
- Czech Masters host
- Rated No.3 in the Czech Republic
- Getting there
- About 25 minutes west of Prague
- Staying over
- No accommodation used in these itineraries — played as a day round from Prague
Where to stay in Prague
This itinerary works well with two nights in a central Prague wellness or spa hotel — somewhere with a sauna and a pool of its own, so the wellness thread runs through the whole trip rather than stopping when you leave Panorama. Prague has plenty of options in that bracket at prices that would look like a mistake in most Western European capitals. We're deliberately not naming one: the right hotel depends on your group's budget and where in the city you want to be, and this guide isn't a package.
The Sauna Circuit
Best for: premium golf + wellness
- Day 1 — Panorama — Golf + resort wellness
- Day 2 — The Oaks — Premium championship round
- Day 3 — Albatross — Tournament-style finish
From approximately €565 per golfer
Indicative example based on researched 2026/27 golf and accommodation rates for a group of four sharing. Current prices and availability will vary.
Practical notes
A few things worth knowing before you start booking:
- When to go. Bohemian greens are slow to wake up. Early April is often still too early for the courses to be running properly; from late April onwards you get noticeably warmer weather, a month of extra growth and firmer fairways. The season runs through to autumn, and Black Bridge is open year-round if you're determined.
- You'll want a car. The Prague Circuit is just about doable on public transport and taxis, but The Oaks, Albatross, Panorama and Ypsilon are all easier with a vehicle. One car covers a group of four.
- Check the closures. The Oaks is closed on Mondays. Build the trip around that rather than discovering it late.
- Two of these are day rounds. The Oaks and Albatross are played out and back from wherever you're staying; the accommodation in each itinerary comes from the other venues.
- Book the unusual stuff first. The ten houseboats at Ypsilon are the reason to choose the Bohemian Loop — enough to sleep a society, but they go before the rooms do. Reserve them before anything else.

A note on the prices in this guide
Prices shown are indicative examples based on rates researched when this guide was prepared. Golf, accommodation and package prices change regularly, so check directly with the relevant course, resort or travel provider before booking. Flights, transfers, food, insurance and other extras may not be included.
The per-golfer figures assume a group of four sharing twin or double accommodation, and were built from published tariffs with a small indicative uplift for the following season. They are there to show you the relative cost of the three itineraries — the gap between them is more reliable than the absolute numbers.
