Family Hotels in Salzburg with Golf Course Access
5 family-friendly hotels with golf in Salzburg . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Salzburg sits 15 minutes from one of Austria's prettiest 18-hole courses, the Salzburger Golf Club at Eugendorf, plus three more layouts in the surrounding Salzkammergut. The five hotels below all sit within 3 km of a golf course and welcome families. Two are in the Old Town, two are out near the airport with easy course access, and one is a country garden hotel that doubles as the staging point for early tee times. Prices below reflect July 2026 family rates with two adults and two kids.
Salzburg is one of the smallest big-name European cities. The Altstadt fits in 30 minutes of walking, the river splits left bank from right bank, and the surrounding lakes and golf courses are all under 25 minutes by car. Eugendorf, Anif and Hof are the three closest courses, each playable as a half-day round before lunch. Families with one golfer parent get a city break and a golf trip in the same booking.
Why Salzburg Works for Family Golf Trips
Salzburg is the rare European city where a family hotel and a golf course fit inside the same hour. The Salzburger Golf Club Eugendorf is 15 km from the Altstadt and 8 km from the airport. Hof Golf Club is 18 km. Anif sits 7 km south. None of these are private membership clubs; all welcome visitors, all rent clubs, and all run morning tee times that still leave time for a museum afternoon.
The five hotels below are not golf resorts. They are family-friendly Salzburg hotels that happen to sit within 3 km of a course or shuttle directly to one. This pairing matters because dedicated golf resorts in the Alps are usually too remote for families with non-golfing kids. From these five, a parent can drive 12 minutes to the first tee and the rest of the family walks five minutes to a lake, the Mirabell gardens, or the Hellbrunn fountains.
Three of the hotels run airport shuttles which double as golf-bag transfers. Two have on-site indoor pools that work as the rainy-day backup. All five include free parking, which matters because you will be driving to and from the course at 7 AM. Family rooms across all five hotels accommodate four people, and the buffet breakfasts open by 6:30 AM at all but Hotel Bristol.
Parent's take
Real talk: Salzburg's golf scene is for casual or intermediate players, not pros. The courses are scenic, mid-difficulty, and visitor-friendly. The city is the draw. The golf is a great morning add-on that lets one parent disappear for four hours guilt-free.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Salzburg with golf, sorted by guest rating.
Garten - Hotel Sallerhof
Anif, south Salzburg
Wonderful
1,240 reviews
Garten - Hotel Sallerhof sits in the village of Anif, 7 km south of Salzburg Old Town and 4 km from Anif Golf Club. The garden, indoor pool, free parking and family rooms with two double beds make it a calm staging point. The hotel arranges Eugendorf shuttle for golfers on request.
From
€214/night
Why families love Garten - Hotel Sallerhof
Anif is suburban Salzburg, and Sallerhof is the quiet hotel in it. Garden, indoor pool, and a tree-shaded breakfast terrace. The kids ran around the lawn while one parent left for the 7 AM tee time at Anif Golf Club. The other parent took the kids to Hellbrunn fountains, 1 km away. Reasonable price, large family room, free parking. Best pick if you want to skip the Old Town crowds.
Hotel Gerl
Wals, between airport and city
Wonderful
980 reviews
Hotel Gerl in Wals sits 5 km from the Salzburger Golf Club Eugendorf and 4 km from Salzburg airport. Family rooms with double bed plus sofa bed sleep four. Restaurant on site, free parking, and 12 minutes by car or bus to the Old Town. Largest family rooms of the five hotels.
From
€300/night
Why families love Hotel Gerl
Hotel Gerl is the practical pick for a family with one golfer. The location halfway between airport and Old Town means short transfer in and short drive to Eugendorf for the tee time. Family rooms are the biggest we found in Salzburg, with proper space for two kids. Restaurant on site for early dinners. The bus into the centre runs every 20 minutes from a stop 100 metres away.
Hotel Gasthof Brandstätter
Liefering, north Salzburg
Wonderful
1,380 reviews
Hotel Gasthof Brandstätter is a family-run 4-star hotel in Liefering, just off the A1 motorway and 2 km from the Salzburger Golf Club Eugendorf. Indoor pool with terrace, garden, restaurant on site. Run by three generations of the Brandstätter family. Shuttle to Old Town runs every 30 minutes.
From
€287/night
Why families love Hotel Gasthof Brandstätter
Family-run is the feel here. The Brandstätter family treats every guest like a regular. Indoor pool meant the kids had something to do while one parent left at 6:30 AM for Eugendorf. The garden has a small playground area. Restaurant on site does Austrian classics that even picky kids ate. Drive into the Old Town is 12 minutes, the airport is 4 km. Solid all-rounder.
Hotel Bristol Salzburg
Mirabell, Old Town
Excellent
1,620 reviews
Hotel Bristol Salzburg is a 5-star historic hotel run by the same family for three generations, opposite the Mirabell Palace. Award-winning restaurant, locked golf-bag storage, and a concierge that books Eugendorf shuttle for guests with confirmed tee times. Family suites with adjoining rooms.
From
€542/night
Why families love Hotel Bristol Salzburg
Hotel Bristol is the splurge. The location across from Mirabell Palace puts the kids in the gardens before breakfast and the golfer at the concierge desk arranging the Eugendorf shuttle. Family suites have a connecting door which solved the whose-room-is-bigger argument. Award-winning restaurant works for a celebration dinner, less so for picky 6-year-olds. Worth it once.
Altstadt Hotel Stadtkrug
Linzer Gasse, Old Town
Excellent
1,140 reviews
Altstadt Hotel Stadtkrug occupies a 700-year-old building in Linzer Gasse, 5 minutes' walk from Mirabell. Mini golf in the small garden, plus 12 minutes by car to Salzburger Golf Club. Quiet rooms despite the Old Town location. Free WiFi, family rooms with three beds, and the on-site Stadtkrug restaurant.
From
€378/night
Why families love Altstadt Hotel Stadtkrug
Stadtkrug is the historic Old Town pick. A 700-year-old building, but the rooms have been modernised so it feels current rather than dated. The mini golf in the back garden is a hit with younger kids while parents plan the Eugendorf round. Family rooms with three beds suit a family of four. Linzer Gasse is pedestrian, so the location is quiet at night despite being central.
💡Tips Before You Book a Salzburg Golf Hotel
- 1Book tee times the night you arrive. Salzburger Golf Club Eugendorf accepts visitor bookings up to 7 days ahead and Anif Golf Club takes day-of bookings until 10 PM the prior evening. The 7 AM and 7:30 AM slots are usually the easiest to grab.
- 2Rental clubs are available at all four nearby courses. Eugendorf rents Callaway and TaylorMade sets for 35 EUR per round, including 6-7 clubs and a putter. Bring your own glove and balls; rental balls are tournament leftovers.
- 3Book a family room with two beds, not a double. Salzburg Old Town hotels have small rooms by Austrian standards, and a 4-person family room with a sofa bed is the realistic standard for under-12s. Ask about cots free if your kid is under 3.
- 4July weather in Salzburg is unpredictable. Pack a fleece even if the forecast says 28 degrees. Mountain weather rolls in fast and the courses occasionally close mid-morning for thunderstorms. Plan an indoor back-up activity for non-golfers.
- 5If you want to walk to the course, only Garten - Hotel Sallerhof and Hotel Gerl give you that option. The other three need a 12-15 minute drive. Hotel Bristol books shuttles to Eugendorf for guests with a tee time confirmed.
