Royal Bled
After the First World War, the then Yugoslav King Aleksander Karađorđević chose Bled as his summer residence, attracting wealthy guests and nobility from all over Europe. The first round of golf was officially played at Bled in 1937 and this marked the birth of golf in the region. After extensive redesign and renovation by the legendary Donald Harradine, the course reopened in 1972 to widespread acclaim with golf connoisseurs from around the world declaring it to be one of the most beautiful in Europe. In the past, Bled Golf Course has hosted many major amateur and professional tournaments which is a true testament to the layout and challenge that it presents.
The King’s Course at Royal Bled is undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating and beautiful places to play golf anywhere in the world. Surrounded by the dramatic mountains and sweeping valleys of the Alps, the course offers perfectly manicured surfaces, a strategic layout and a rare opportunity to play golf in complete tranquillity. After a two-year renovation its reputation has continued to spread with Golf World Magazine quickly returning it to its envied list of Top 100 Golf Courses in Continental Europe. A challenge to both elite and recreational players, the King’s Course can now once again be regarded as one of Europe’s true golfing gems.
