The marketing alliance "Hotels on the Golf Course", which was launched in 2011 with 16 partner facilities from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, can now look back on more than a decade of successful work. The idea is simple, but ingenious: Spend the night directly on the golf course.

In the meantime, 24 top golf facilities in five countries belong to the association "Hotels on the Golf Course". The criteria for inclusion are strict: on the one hand, the hotels may not be located further than a par-4 (maximum 430 meters) from the golf course; on the other hand, the associated courses must be awarded at least four stars by the International Golf Stars Classification and have 18 holes. 

With this promise of quality, golfers can be sure that their expectations of a "vacation in a new dimension" will be met. The hotels and golf courses also benefit: The successful network guarantees higher occupancy rates for all brand partners.

Since the beginning of 2022, the luxurious PURE Resort Westendorf in Westendorf near Kitzbühel (formerly known as Windau Lodge) has been a partner in the cooperation. The multi-award-winning resort, which reopened at Christmas 2021, comprises 52 luxuriously appointed apartments, penthouses, suites & hotel rooms as well as two wellness areas, two heated outdoor pools, a fitness room and a
restaurant. One of the highlights is the extraordinary view from the rooftop infinity pool.

The resort with modern appeal yet authentic Austrian atmosphere is located in the heart of one of the largest contiguous ski areas in Austria. The Golf Club Kitzbüheler Alpen offers a gorgeous 18-hole course, voted Austria's most beautiful golf course by "Leading Golf Courses" in 2021. From the clubhouse terrace you have a spectacular view of the Tyrolean mountains. Also in winter always worth a visit. Excellent cross-country ski trails are just outside the door and the ski bus brings snow lovers within two minutes to the ski lift.

Managing director and president Jakob Haselsberger says: "For us as a golf facility with an attached hotel directly on the golf course, the cooperation with the international golf facility classification of the Bundesverband Golfanlagen e.V. is an important marketing tool to offer the day and vacation guest a special quality and unique selling point. The marketing cooperation "Hotels on the Golf Course" gives us the opportunity to clearly position hotel and golf course on the international golf market. High-quality, first-class service and exclusive offers are the success factors for us in the present and in the future."
