Diamond CC
The Diamond Country Club – the only European Tour Destination in Austria – is an exceptional venue situated in the picturesque Lower Austrian Countryside within easy reach of Vienna (about 50km).
The centrepiece is undoubtedly the 6.761 metres par 72 Diamond Course, designed by the famous English architect Jeremy Pern and opened in 2002.
A scenic and challenging test of golf, featuring water hazards on no less than nine holes, that threaten tee and approach shots alike.
History
The European Amateur Championship, established in 1986, is a prestigious annual 4-round stroke play event for elite male amateur golfers, held at various European venues each June. Attracting top global talent, it is highly regarded by the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
The winner receives an invitation to The Open Championship, and top-5 finishers traditionally gain entry to The Open Final Qualifying. In 2023, it served as a final qualifier for the inaugural Open Amateur Series. José Luis Ballester won the 2023 championship with a record 21-under-par, becoming the first Spanish champion since Sergio Garcia in 1995.
