Hotel Gut Brandlhof in Salzburg, Austria is an idyllic escape in the eastern Alps and one of Europe’s most dog-friendly golfing destinations. Situated along the sides of the river, Saalach, in a valley with panoramic mountain views, this 18-hole course features bunkers, ponds and more to keep it interesting for experienced golf enthusiasts and fun for beginners. Pups awarded a Dog Golf License are welcome to join their owners on the course, where they can cool off at the drinking and bathing stations after the second hole, take a dip in the river if the current isn’t too strong and ride by your side in a modified golf cart for dogs with rollable blinds to provide shade, bowls, treats, toys and a refrigerator to keep water cool.
