After our first stop on our "Tennis & Golf in Carinthia" themed tour at the Kärntnerhof Tennis Hotel in Bad Kleinkirchheim, we're now heading to our second stop at the beautiful Lake Klopein. There, in St. Kanzian, you'll find the four-star Hotel & Spa Sonne, . The Klopeinersee-Südkärnten Golf Park , boasting 18 holes and panoramic views of the Southern Alps, is just as easily accessible as the hotel's four own clay courts . Whether you prefer tennis or golf, from March to early November, the Hotel & Spa Sonne perfect conditions for an active tennis and golf holiday, which you can, of course, book various activity packages three private jetties leading into Austria's warmest bathing lake. A dip in the water is twice as much fun! Even away from the tennis and golf courses, there's plenty more to do: hiking, biking, and all kinds of water sports. You'll never be bored here! Relaxation awaits you at the Sonne See Spa – complete with a unique lakeside sauna. The delicious Alpine-Adriatic cuisine will delight you just as much as the beautiful rooms. I had the pleasure of conducting our tennis and golf interview with Stefanie Obermayer , who is responsible for sales at the Hotel & Spa Sonne. Stay tuned to find out Stefanie's favorite golfer's saying and whether she prefers golf or tennis.
What golfing opportunities does your hotel offer?The beautiful 18-hole Klopeinersee-Südkärnten golf course is just 2.5 km away. As a hotel guest, you also benefit from discounted green fees of up to 40%.
Which golf courses are there in your area?The Golfpark is the nearest golf course. In addition, the 18-hole St. Veit Längsee club, the Seltenheim golf club (towards Klagenfurt), and the Moosburg-Pörtschach golf courses are all within a 30-minute drive.
Why do you think tennis and golf are a great combination for a holiday in Carinthia?An active holiday is always a great change of pace. There's nothing like a balanced daily routine, starting with a breakfast buffet full of delicacies, followed by a successful day of golf or tennis, then a delicious lunch, a relaxing back massage to relieve tension, and finally a delightful dinner at the Sonne lakeside restaurant.

What makes golfing in Carinthia so special?Thanks to their ideal location and proximity to the south, the courses can be played for a much longer period. Both Lake Klopein and Lake Wörthersee offer several wonderful courses within easy reach, providing variety for a diverse golfing holiday.
Where is your personal favorite golf course? What do you like about it?It's difficult to define a personal favorite, as they all have their own particularly appealing aspects and also their drawbacks. The Klopeinersee-Südkärnten Golf Park is especially scenic and attractive. But the Dellach Golf Club also has its own unique features, including partial views of the blue Wörthersee.
What's your personal favorite golfer's saying? The best golf joke is probably 'Yay, I can do it!' 😉
Honestly: where does your heart beat faster - during golf or tennis?Both sports are adept at bringing together very different people, and that's clearly the main focus here. Golf, however, has a slight advantage, as the courses themselves are often the main attraction. No matter how many bunkers or water hazards are scattered across the greens, it's always a unique experience to discover a new course and spend so much time in nature.
