Course overview

How to get there
Sibiu International Airport (SBZ) is approximately 80 km south-east of Theodora Golf Club and has regular connections to several European cities. Cluj-Napoca International Airport (CLJ) is approximately 105 km north and offers the widest international connections in Transylvania. Car hire from either airport is straightforward and recommended, as public transport between the airports and Alba Iulia is limited.
Where to stay
Staying near Alba Iulia puts you within minutes of both golf courses in the Transylvania cluster. The Theodora Golf Club itself has a 4-star on-site hotel, making it the most seamless base for a dedicated golf trip. The fortress city of Alba Iulia — a Vauban citadel of exceptional scale with an unusually complete promenade route around its star-shaped ramparts — is worth an evening of its own and is one of the more underrated walled cities in Central Europe.
