The golf resort was completely finished in 2008 in the lowland area of Danube river with its specific landscape and scenery. The golf course offers high standard of services, 18 hole championship course /par 72, length 6200 m/ is lying on both sides of state road connected through tunnel. With about 130 incorporated bunkers and typical windy weather course offers very interesting challenge for all categories of golfers regardless of playing handicap. The golf facility offers high standard training zone with 3-hole academy, proper for golf beginners. 300 m illuminated driving range with seven target greens makes your training attractive. Thanks to its location with a mild climate and a high number of sunny days, the course has the longest playing season in Slovakia. The historical park and manor house, with its origin dated back to the 15th century, stands in the heart of the golf resort. Surrounded by woods, it served as the hunting residence of the aristocratic Apponyi family. In the 1990´s the manor house and its surrounding grounds were returned to the heirs of historical proprietors. After extensive reconstruction works it now serves as clubhouse, small hotel and restaurant. Designer: Dipl.-Ing.
