Today, golf is a phenomenon on all the continents.

Golf is a game where people meet to spend some time together, to acquire new business colleagues and partners or to reinforce existing relationships. Golf has recently also become popular on an amateur level and has resulted in people being diverted from traditional sports activities.

The real golfers have discovered the Czech Republic soon after the revolution. Considerable investments to the Czech Republic have been made to put the Czech Republic on the map as a golf paradise. The country has some great golf courses and, besides the pleasure of playing golf, also offers great natural beauty.
