The Postołowo Golf Club (otherwise known as Gdansk Golf & Coutry Club) in Gdansk was ranked in 2008/2009 by Golf Digest as the best golf course in Poland and 84th on the list of TOP100 Golf Courses in Continental Europe. It is also the second longest PAR 72 golf course in Europe with a length of 7101 meters from the back tees.
Described by the German GOLF JOURNAL in 2004 already as a "monster", after extending the back tees it has now become from the tips one of the most challenging golf courses in the world. Several of the new back tees in Postołowo were constructed on the recommendations of Mr. Mikael Ericsson, the director of the PGA European Tour who visited the course in 2004.
The quiet village of Postołowo is situated 26 kilometres from busy Gdansk. Gdansk, together with Sopot and Gdynia (known in Poland as the Tri-City) forms a municipal conurbation with a population of almost 1 million.
The Tri-City area plays an important role in the economic and cultural life of the nation. It is also a major tourist centre with several million people visiting every year to relax on the sandy beaches of Sopot, to enjoy the charm and atmosphere of old Gdansk and the attractions of modern Gdynia.
The surrounding area includes the Kashubian Lakes with their picturesque countryside close to Postołowo. The Postołowo area itself is blessed with the sandy soil every greenkeeper dreams of.
THE GDANSK GOLF COURSE - 18 hole, 72 Par, 7,766 yards
Designed by: Jeremy Turner
I think a good course should start with a fairly easy first hole, which minimises the effect of first tee nerves and gets you in a relaxed mood. So the first here is just that, a rather straightforward medium length par 4. It is quickly followed up by an indication of what lies ahead.
The fifth heads out into the country-side sharply doglegging right. The long second shot to the slightly elevated green may leave a few players having to take out a sand wedge instead of the putter.
The short par 4 sixth will hopefully give you some breathing space before you have to contend with the long seventh. There two good woods will set you up with merely a chip to the elevated green. The eight is a short hole with an adequately bunkered green set among the majestic rolling sand hills.
The back nine are probably more awesome in that water appears on seven more holes. A compensating feature however, is that the character and location of the hazards are so richly varied. The tenth, eleventh and twelfth are however dry holes. Two rather longish par 4's with a reasonably short par 3 in between.
Hole fifteen is again a real test of driving onto a slightly convex landing area. A broad canal must also be carried on the way to a green placed on a peninsula. This is a formidable hole, requiring skill, nerve and strength. But if not frightened by this hole, the following par 3 will certainly do the trick. Over the lake to an elevated green of apparently repelling shape with beech woods close by.
On the seventeenth you will need a big drive into a rising lakeside plateau if you are to catch a glimpse of the sculptured green perched beyond a deep ravine and again dangerously close to the water. The eighteenth back to the clubhouse is a mighty par 5 which again tempts the heroic shot to a generous green with water near at hand

Sopot rarely sleeps, especially in summer when its clubs fill with people. Sopot strives to maintain its traditions, such as its casino dating from the 1920s and the significant number of stylish restaurants and atmospheric bars, none of which should disappoint even the most sophisticated frequenters of such places. Among all the seaside resorts competing to be the summer capital of Poland, Sopot seems the most deserving.

This 16th century gate, the main entrance into the Old Town, was the original starting point for the Royal Way. It was here that the Polish king was welcomed and given the keys to the city. The gate was originally surrounded by a 50m moat and was named for its 'upland' location above the water level. The metal pulleys used for raising and lowering the drawbridges are still visible beneath the coats of arms of Poland, Prussia and Gdańsk.
