The Prague resort offers a 7,467-yard par 72 Championship layout which features numerous lakes, 65 bunkers and more than 1200 newly-planted, mature trees.

Designed by golf architect Keith Preston, the parkland course opened in 2009 to great acclaim, and has played host to the D+D Real Czech Maters since 2014.

The course is complemented by a stunning, contemporary clubhouse and state-of-the-art practice facilities.

It features a dramatic finishing hole which is guarded by water all the way up the left side of the fairway to the green

Bordering the Cesky Kras nature reserve and situated 420 metres above sea level, this impressive venue also enjoys one of the longest seasons in Central Europe thanks to its altitude.

Host of the D+D Real Czech Masters

Albatross Golf Resort is a hugely popular track among the players and has hosted the D+D Real Czech Masters on the European Tour since its inaugural staging in 2014, which was won by Jamie Donaldson.

He was followed by Thomas Pieters, Paul Peterson, Hadyn Porteous and Andrea Pavan before Pieters became the only two-time winner of the event with his second win in 2019.

Lee Westwood, who finished tied for ninth place in 2017, described the course as ‘risk and reward’.

"It's a good golf course," he said last year. "It's pretty straightforward, the course has been designed well and shows you where you need to hit it and then it's up to the individual to execute it.

"There's a lot of water out there, there's a lot of risk and reward if you want to take it on.
