Golf in Kitzbühel: Which Course to Play

Last updated

Kitzbühel has four golf courses with 54 holes between them: two 18-hole courses (Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith and Eichenheim) and two 9-hole courses (Golfclub Kitzbühel at Kaps and the par-3 course at the Rasmushof). If you have time for one round, our pick is Eichenheim for the setting, or Schwarzsee if your group has mixed abilities. Tee times and green fees come from each club, linked below.

Kitzbühel is a small town with four golf courses inside or right next to it, which makes it unusually easy to play more than one in a week. This page compares them, says which golfer each suits and explains how to book.

We haven’t played these courses ourselves, so the descriptions come from the clubs, and the recommendations are our reading of them.

Golf in Kitzbühel at a glance

There are four courses and 54 holes, according to Kitzbühel Tourism (as of November 2026), and the season runs from spring to autumn. Two are full 18-hole courses, one is a traditional 9-hole course and one is a 9-hole par-3. The tourist board also counts more than 30 courses within an hour’s drive, so a golf week can stretch further.

Golf fits well into a summer trip; for the rest of the season see our warm-weather ideas, and for the whole year, everything else to do in Kitzbühel.

Golfclub Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith

This is the 18-hole, par-72 course along the Schwarzsee, at Golfweg Schwarzsee 35 (club site). The club describes it as a course where beginners and experienced golfers both play, with water hazards, hilly terrain, old trees and mountain views, and it calls itself a DP World Tour venue.

For 2027 the club lists 18 holes at €145, or €116 with the Kitzbühel guest card, and 9 holes from 1 pm at €79, or €63 with the card (green fees, as of November 2026). Tee times are booked online through GolfNow or the Albatros app.

The lake is next door: after your round, swim at the Schwarzsee.

Eichenheim

Golf Eichenheim is an 18-hole championship course, par 71 and 6,092 m, designed by Kyle Phillips and built in 2000, according to the club. It sits on the Aurach side of Kitzbühel, and the club describes steep rock walls, natural streams, dense deciduous forest and long par holes.

Of the four, this is the one that feels most like mountain golf. It’s our pick for a single memorable round if you’re a confident player. Green fees and tee times are on the club’s site, which takes online bookings.

Golfclub Kitzbühel

Golfclub Kitzbühel, founded in 1955, plays a 9-hole course at Kaps, in a 30-hectare park beside the A-Rosa Kitzbühel hotel (club site). The course has been completely rebuilt, with plenty of water and old trees, and the first tee and ninth green sit by the club terrace.

Green-fee players book by phone, by email or through golf.at, and the club’s green-fee page states a handicap limit of 36 (green fee page). It suits a relaxed 9 holes, or a second course on a two-course holiday.

Rasmushof

The course at the Rasmushof, run as Zielhaus Red Bull Kitzbühel, is a 9-hole, par-27 course where every hole is a par 3, at the foot of the Hahnenkamm (course page). It sits by the finish area of the Streif race course, close to the town centre.

It’s the easiest place in Kitzbühel to try golf, play a quick round between other plans, or let a weaker player keep up. Zielhaus gives guest-card holders 10% off its 9- and 18-hole green fees (as of November 2026), and its fees and contact details are on its own site.

Which course should you play?

This is our view, based on what the clubs describe, not a ranking.

One round only: Eichenheim if you’re a confident player and want mountain scenery. Schwarzsee if you want a full 18 that forgives a few loose shots.

Beginner or rusty: start at the Rasmushof par-3. Short holes, close to town, and no pressure.

A two-course holiday: Schwarzsee and Eichenheim for the 18s, with a 9 at Kaps or the Rasmushof on a lighter day.

A couple with one golfer: book Schwarzsee. The non-golfer can spend the morning at the lake next door and meet you for lunch.

Booking tee times and handicap rules

Book directly with each club, ideally before you travel in July and August. The clubs handle bookings differently: Schwarzsee through GolfNow or its app, Eichenheim through its online booking, Golfclub Kitzbühel by phone, email or golf.at, and Zielhaus by contact form or phone.

Handicap rules vary. Golfclub Kitzbühel states a limit of 36; the other clubs don’t publish one on the pages we checked, so ask when you book.

The KitzCard guest card, which you get when staying overnight in the Kitzbühel region, gave 20% off the green fee at Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith in 2026 (kitzbuehel.com, as of November 2026). Kitzbühel Tourism also mentions the Golf Tirol Card for access to courses across Tyrol.

Off the course

On a day without golf, ride e-bike routes out to the huts, or book a spa afternoon to rest your back.

When to go and where to stay

The main season runs from about May to October. Our page on weather month by month helps you pick.

For golf, stay in or near town: all four courses are close to the centre, so you can play two in a day without a long drive. Our guide to where to stay near the courses compares the areas. A car helps if you’re carrying clubs between courses. Flying in? Take the train from Munich Airport or hire a car there.

Where to stay

Compare hotels and apartments in the town centre, near the Hahnenkamm lift or in quieter Reith and Kirchberg.

Car rental

Useful for day trips and mountain roads. In winter, ask for a car fitted with winter tyres.

Some links are affiliate links. If you book through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. How this works.

Where to start

Book your 18-hole round first, because those tee times are the hardest to get in high summer. Then fill the gaps with a 9 at Kaps or the Rasmushof, a swim in the Schwarzsee or a hut lunch.
