Located to the south of Vienna, Austria, on the edge of the spa town of Baden lies the prestigious Fontana Golf Course; opened in 1996 this 18-hole course was designed by Doug Carrick and Hans Erhardt. From the beginning quality was the highest priority at Fontana, due to continuous improvements and its demand for high quality standards the Fontana golf course soon developed to become part and parcel of Europe's elite where it prominently figures among the top 3 golf courses together with such renowned places like St. Andrews and Valderrama.
