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

52 ǀ POSITIV 1/2019

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.
