Golf Adriatic: PGA-branded golden standard of golf

The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) prides itself in its long history of golf and important role in developing and promoting this sport. It was founded in 1901 as the world’s first professional golf association, with the primary goal to support its members and promote passion for golf around the globe. In addition to as many as 400 tournaments it organises each year, the PGA has played a crucial role in creating some of the most renowned golfing competitions such as the Ryder Cup and is honoured to enjoy royal patronage.

The Association continues to expand its portfolio of branded facilities in Europe, with PGA National Croatia being its latest addition. Located within the luxury resort Kempinski Hotel Adriatic, Golf Adriatic is now proudly joining this exclusive world-class portfolio.

“We are thrilled and privileged to see Golf Adriatic become PGA National Croatia, representing the highest golf excellence standards. This achievement proves our commitment to ensuring exceptional golfing experience for our guests, and we look forward to continue upscaling our offer with the support from the PGA”, said Mr Željko Stasević, General Manager of Kempinski Hotel Adriatic.

Golf Adriatic boasts a demanding 6,360-metre par 72 course with 18 holes spread over 80 hectares, and its distinct layout is a true challenge for golfers of all levels. The course was designed by DI. Diethard Fahrenleitner and Barbara Eisserer, recipients of the prestigious Austrian Golf Art Landscape award.

Richard Barker, Executive Director of Business Development at the PGA, expressed great satisfaction at the inclusion of PGA National Croatia among the excellent PGA National branded facilities. He added: “We are thrilled to add PGA National Croatia to our exclusive group of world-class PGA National Branded Properties. Golf Adriatic has firmly established itself as the focal point of the resort, and we look forward to promoting the venue to PGA members throughout the world.”
