Golf has been played in Poland for longer than you might imagine. In the early part of the last century, before the Second World War, there were a couple of 9-hole courses, though these were mainly the preserve of the aristocracy or the army. It wasn\u2019t until 1992, following the end of the communist era, that golf started to re-emerge in Poland, with the opening of the first 18-hole course in Rajszew, North of Warsaw. Since then, fourteen new 18-hole golf courses have been opened, along with seven new 9-hole courses, and new projects are appearing every year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The appeal of these golf courses lies in the varied layouts \u2013 the input of well-known golf architects, including Gary Player, Jan Sederholm, Hans-Georg Erhardt, Cameron Sinclair, Ronald Fream, Martin Hawtree and Jeremy Pern has ensured that the courses challenge more experienced golfers without excluding beginners, who can still enjoy a good round in beautiful surroundings.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In Poland, the golf season usually begins in April and lasts until the end of October, though it often lasts longer in the north-western corner of Poland.<\/p>\n

Full list of Poland\u2019s most popular golf-courses\u00a0and details of their locations can be found on the website of the Polish Golf Union,\u00a0www.pzgolf.pl<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the prices and some details about one of the clubs:<\/p>\n

Sierra Golf Club, Wejherowo near Gdynia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed by Cameron Sinclair and opened in 2002, the Sierra Golf Club has a championship course laid out on hills among lakes at the very edge of a forest.
\n\u2022 18-hole championship course
\n\u2022 Golf lessons are available
\n\u2022 Green Fee: approx. \u20ac43 on weekdays, approx. \u20ac55 at weekends
\n\u2022 Nearest airport: Gda\u0144sk (35 km away)
\n\u2022 Nearest ferry terminal: Gdynia (30km away)<\/p>\n

Prices are very similar in most of the golf courses, so we have an idea how expensive the sport is in Poland. It usually ranges from\u00a0\u00a0\u20ac25 \u00a0to\u00a0\u00a0\u20ac55 to play 18 hole golf course.<\/p>\n

I have been playing golf for a while now. Never really had a chance to do it in Poland. But both my husband and I are looking forward playing on one of the Polish golf courses next spring!<\/p>\n
