Golfing Genius Loci in Šilheřovice Park The golf course in  Šilheřovice has a great reputation with all golfers in the Czech Republic. Not only was it the first 18-hole course in Moravia, but it celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of its team, Park Golf Club Ostrava, in 2018. The course has hosted numerous significant tournaments, including the International Championship of the Czech Republic last year. In the wonderful park of Castle of Šilheřovice, with the dominant Rothschild Castle and other historic sights, there is a fantastic symbiosis of the golf course with astonishing centennial trees from all over the world, offering players comforting shade. On the undulating landscape where accuracy counts more than distance, golfers truly enjoy the game. The course is deservedly ranked amongst the most beautiful parklands in Central Europe. The recently renewed historic clubroom Palmenhaus received praise by an expert as a “beautiful heritage of industrial architecture of the turn of the 19th century, bringing us back to the smart fashions of the foundational

years of our republic.“ This year we are going to renew some cultural sights, including great Neptune’s Fountain (paid with EU funds for regional development, INTERREG V-A). We are very happy to meet lay golf enthusiasts interested in playing as well as joining our club, and we welcome promoters and companies who organize various tournaments, including birthday party contests, not only because of our favourable prices. We offer players the course of champions, which also has natural park beauty, the best background against which to enjoy a unique and comforting experience enhanced by refreshments in the historic club.
