If you’re in the mood for the vibe of an exclusive American country club, you don’t need to book a long-haul flight. Instead, a short trip takes you just under 30 minutes south of the city limits to a sprawling complex that, with its immaculate lawns and stately architecture, immediately evokes images of the Hamptons. The heart of the complex is a sprawling oasis surrounded by greenery that combines sports, relaxation, and fine dining.
We’re talking about Fontana in Oberwaltersdorf, a destination that enjoys a legendary reputation among athletes. But the complex offers far more than just top-tier sports, which is why the trip is also worth it for a relaxing day trip without a golf club in your luggage.

Between birdies, the swimming lake, and the spa
Those who want to swing a club here can tee off on a challenging 18-hole championship course. The daily green fee for guests is 165 euros on weekdays and rises to 205 euros on weekends. In addition to regular play, the event calendar is packed with events such as the casual Sundowner Series, classic ladies’ days, or the exclusive Spirit of Excellence Golf Cup. The resort also offers luxurious, permanent living options right on the greens for those who never want to leave.
Those seeking relaxation, on the other hand, are drawn to the spacious wellness area. A modern fitness club, an extensive sauna area with a steam bath, and an indoor pool ensure relaxation. As soon as the weather cooperates, life shifts to the private Fontana Lake. The turquoise swimming lake boasts a fine sandy beach right on the water, which immediately evokes a genuine vacation feeling.
Down-to-earth lunch by the water
Cucina Fontana takes care of your culinary needs, combining a sophisticated ambiance with surprisingly down-to-earth prices. On weekdays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the kitchen offers a varied lunch special for a fair €14.90, including soup or salad.
The first week of June brings absolute classics to guests’ plates. Monday kicks off the week with a roasted chicken leg with rice, followed by hearty meatloaf croissants with marjoram on Tuesday. Wednesday features a freshly prepared pizza with zucchini cream, feta cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. After the holiday on Thursday, the week traditionally wraps up on Friday with a hearty beef goulash served with dumplings.
