Golf Eichenheim Kitzbühel
A Kyle Phillips mountain course above Kitzbühel — one of the most dramatic Alpine golf settings in Europe.
Course overview
Golf Eichenheim Kitzbühel was designed by Kyle Phillips and opened in 2001 on elevated terrain above the famous ski resort of Kitzbühel in the Tyrolean Alps. The course stretches to 6,000 metres at par 71 through a combination of alpine meadow and forest, with sweeping views of the surrounding mountain peaks accompanying golfers throughout the round. The natural Alpine landscape has been integrated sensitively into the design, giving the course a dramatic character that stands out even among mountain courses.
