"Now I've got it!" That's the favorite golfing phrase of Markus Ronacher, owner of the Tennis Hotel Die Post in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Carinthia. This is precisely where we're making our next stop as part of our special feature "Tennis & Golf in Carinthia ." Markus is a tennis and golf player himself, so he knows what's important to us TennisTraveller , as well as to golfers, on an active vacation. Tennis has a long tradition at the Post: ITF senior tournaments are held annually hotel's six clay courts in-house tennis school and a three-court indoor tennis center offer you the best conditions to improve your tennis skills! The nearby golf course in Bad Kleinkirchheim is famous far beyond the borders of Carinthia; after all, the 18-hole course offers not only a very varied terrain but also a simply breathtaking mountain panorama. And in summer, wonderfully pleasant temperatures at an altitude of 1,000 meters. At Hotel Die Post, in addition to tennis and golf, you can look forward to full board, a 2,400m² wellness area, spacious rooms, and warm hospitality. From tennis-loving couples and families to senior players, everyone will find perfect conditions here for an active tennis and golf holiday! But first, let hotel manager Markus tell you what golf and tennis enthusiasts can expect – enjoy!
What golfing opportunities does your hotel offer?My mother Helga and I are golfers – so we know what golfers like. All the services a golfer needs… information, advice, tee time reservations, and weekly free introductory golf sessions with Head Pro Jim Bray.
Which golf courses are there in your area?We have an 18-hole course in Bad Kleinkirchheim, an 18-hole + 3-hole course in Millstatt, and a 9-hole course in Moosburg. The 18-hole course is a 30-minute drive away.
Why do you think tennis and golf are a great combination for a holiday in Carinthia?Young people are increasingly playing tennis, and many then switch to golf over time. These are two very interesting ball sports that can be played well into old age. We are located at an altitude of 1,000 meters, so even in the height of summer we have pleasant temperatures for both sports.
Markus Ronacher,
head of the tennis hotel Die Post
What makes golfing in Carinthia so special?Many great places nearby, each with a very different character.
Where is your personal favorite golf course? What do you like about it?The course in Bad Kleinkirchheim. The variety of the holes (uphill - downhill, narrow - wide...) ensures that the course never gets boring.
What's your personal favorite golfer's saying? Now I can do it!
Honestly: where does your heart beat faster - during golf or tennis?I used to play tennis. Unfortunately, I don't have time for both sports at the same time. Now I only play golf. The advantage here is that it doesn't matter at all how well or badly your playing partner plays. And I can completely switch off while playing golf. Then only the little white ball matters.
