5 Royal Golf Bled The facility comprises the 18 hole Championship King s Course and the 9 hole Lake Course. Surrounded by the dramatic mountains and sweeping valleys of the Alps, the course offers perfectly manicured surfaces, a strategic layout and a rare opportunity to play golf in complete tranquillity. It attracts golf players from all over Europe. King s Course The King s Golf Course is the oldest and the largest Slovenian golf course. Its origins date back to 1937 and many visitors claim it to be one of the most beautiful golf courses in Europe. The King s Course at Royal Bled is undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating and beautiful places to play golf anywhere in the world. A new look strategic layout In 2017, the King s course reopened after an extensive two year renovation that saw dramatic changes and updates made to the original layout. The course now offers a new look strategic layout, perfectly manicured surfaces and breath taking views of the local mountains and out across to the famous Bled Castle. During a two year renovation which saw the course extended to Championship length and the redesign of all bunkers, tees and greens, the King s Course reopened in 2017 and a sleeping beauty was reawakened. Since then its reputation has continued to spread with Golf World Magazine quickly returning it to its envied list of Top 100 Golf Courses in Continental Europe.
