Golf in Austria Marketing and Golf Days: 04 and 05 October 2023

For 35 years, Golf in Austria has been working to make Austria known as a golf holiday destination and to efficiently market the offerings of the specialists for golf holidays in Austria. It is impressive to see how our golf courses, our hotels and our marketing have developed in the process! However, we do not want to dedicate this year's Golf in Austria Symposium to the past, but above all provide an outlook on future developments and opportunities. We cordially invite you to exchange ideas with your colleagues, get new ideas and actively shape the future of golf tourism marketing!

We look forward to welcoming you and wish you two informative, stimulating and entertaining days at the IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn!

Over 109 years ago, great-grandfather Johann Polz laid the foundation stone for the winery on the Grassnitzberg. Today, the 4th generation is working to bring the idea of excellence into the glass. With hands, with soils, with nature. Erich Polz Jr. has been running the business since spring 2020 with the will to guide all the fabulous potential and valuable knowledge that lies in the family's long history into a bright future. Erich's brother Christoph is responsible for the cellar and vinification. The passion is called craftsmanship, and this grows directly from their origins in southern Styria.
