ROYAL GOLF CLUB<br />
Mariánské Lázně<br />
Initiated by the town‘s representatives upon the request<br />
<strong>of</strong> international spa guests, the original 9-hole Mariánské<br />
Lázně golf course was built and opened along with the<br />
clubhouse in 1905. Both quickly became exceptionally<br />
popular, particularly amongst the English and American<br />
guests – his Majesty Edward VII <strong>of</strong> the United Kindom<br />
and the British ambassador in Vienna were among the<br />
first club members. The appreciation <strong>of</strong> the Royal Family<br />
is still alive today with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II<br />
granting the Mariánské Lázně golf club the right to<br />
use the title ‘Royal <strong>Golf</strong> Club’ in 2003 and HRH Prince<br />
Edward came to play there in 2005.<br />
Over the years, the ‘Marienbad‘ <strong>Golf</strong> Club has hosted<br />
several important international tournaments like the<br />
Chemapol Trophy Czech Open `94-´96, the European<br />
Senior Team Championship 2001 and the St. Andrews &<br />
Jacques Leglise Trophies 2006. Following in royal footsteps,<br />
the club also has seen dozens <strong>of</strong> world famous<br />
golf pr<strong>of</strong>essionals test themselves on the course.<br />
The popularity <strong>of</strong> golf at Mariánské Lázně grew constantly<br />
and the course, planned by Scottish pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
Robert Doig <strong>of</strong> Musselburgh, was extended to 18 holes<br />
in 1923. During the communist era, after <strong>World</strong> War II,<br />
golf was <strong>of</strong>ficially considered ‘a game unsuitable for the<br />
working class’. But the club’s members managed to pull<br />
through and in the late 1960ies even succeeded in sending<br />
a representative team <strong>of</strong> players to several international<br />
championships.<br />
„This kind <strong>of</strong> tradition you have<br />
here in Marienbad cannot be bought<br />
for any kind <strong>of</strong> money!<br />
