Bled, Slovenia
Royal Bled — King's Course
One of Central Europe's oldest championship courses, laid out beneath the Julian Alps at the edge of Lake Bled since 1937.
Course overview
Royal Bled Golf Club was established in 1937 and is Slovenia's most historic and prestigious golf venue. The King's Course (Kraljevski) is the flagship 18-hole championship layout, winding through mature wooded terrain with the Julian Alps and Karavanke mountains forming the backdrop to almost every hole. The course plays to a par of 73 and combines tree-lined corridors with natural elevation changes and a mountain setting that ranks among the most visually dramatic in Central Europe. The club has hosted international competitions and retains the character of a golden-age European golf club founded in the pre-war era.

How to get there
Ljubljana Airport is Slovenia's main international gateway, with direct services across Europe. Bled lies north-west of the airport and is most conveniently reached by hire car or private transfer via the A2 motorway toward Karavanke. Public transport connections between the airport and Bled are limited, making car hire the recommended option for a golf trip.
Where to stay
Staying in Bled itself puts you immediately beside Royal Bled Golf Club and at the heart of one of Central Europe's most celebrated natural landscapes. The combination of the emerald lake, the cliffside castle, and the Julian Alps as a constant backdrop makes Bled an exceptional base for a golf trip that extends beyond the course.
