Martin Tschoner / President GC Achensee: »The added value to the landscape«

The golf club in Pertisau, founded in 1934, is not only the oldest in Tyrol, it is also one of the first golf clubs in Austria. The general beauty of the region, the Achensee and its special location almost directly at the Karwendel Nature Park, the largest connected nature reserve in the Eastern Alps, make the course unique.

In 2013 the GC Achensee decided to take part in the Leading Golf Courses Austria. In the background was the question, where do we want to develop? Instead of relying on mass golf tourism, we decided to increase our quality to a high level.

The classification as a Leading Golf Course is linked to an external marketing effect on the one hand and positive internal effects on the other hand from the permanent quality controls: The feedback from the testers shows potential for improvement and the external view prevents a certain operational blindness that is related to the Years sometimes.

In my experience, the anonymous quality tests are not only an effective tool, but also an incentive for the entire team - from greenkeeping to the restaurant. And the exchange of experiences and opinions among colleagues from the other Leading Golf Courses is very valuable because we all pursue the same goal.

The Leading Golf Courses are an established premium brand - which fuels expectations and makes a promise of performance to our members and guests.

With sporty greetings!
