Golf Course of Budapest Gate
The championship golf course's 7,287 yards carve their way through the landscape flowing around the resort's lake, residences and superb amenities. The golf course and its ample practice facilities offer a challenge for all handicaps and with such stunning scenery all around Christy O'Connor Jnr.'s 18 hole masterpiece is a golfer's paradise. The sunshine rains down from April until November with the area being blessed with an average of 2000 hours of sunshine, one of Europe's highest levels.
A Winning Combination
"Budapest is one of the most beautiful capitals of the Central European region and one of the preferred Eastern European tourist destinations, gracefully sited on both sides of the famous river Danube. Just thirty minutes away from the majestic city I was taken to this wonderful site of over 750 acres with natural rolling terrain and a breathtakingly beautiful lake. I knew immediately that I had the real ingredients to build a true Championship Golf Course. This spacious site will host numerous types of accommodation including apartments, villas and town houses, and will be an exceptional business and holiday destination for both golfers and non-golfers alike. The design of the golf course will cater for club golfers of both high and low handicaps, and will include up to five different sets of tees on each hole. The golf course will be built to full USGA standards incorporating a Hotel and Convention Centre. We have already agreed terms to host the Hungarian Open in 2010."
Christy O'Connor Jnr, August 2006
The layout and planning of Budapest Gate allow for spectacular views and breathtaking scenery to be devoured from every angle whether it be lounging at the lake-side beach, scoring birdies while parading the golf course or simply by opening the window of any villa, apartment or suite.
Christy O'Connor Jnr.
The championship golf course of the Budapest Gate Golf Club stretching over more than 100 acres has been dreamed into the landscape of Bicske by the legendary golfer and golf course designer Christy O'Connor Jnr.
O'Connor, who has been a professional competitor since 1967, was in the front-line for two decades permanently. He gained seventeen victories in seven countries.
He represented his country fourteen times on such reputable cups as the World Cup, the Henessy Cup or the Ryder Cup counted as the most prestigious cup of the golf. He gained his most memorable victory at the Ryder Cup 1989, when, eclipsing the world champion Fred Couples, he finished the game with one hit vindicating the honour of the Old Continent.
Since his retirement he has mainly been occupied in designing golf courses. He has designed numerous 18- and 9-hole courses from Ireland through Portugal and the Caribbean to the United States. He took active part in designing and constructing 39 golf courses just in the past eight years. The naturally rolling countryside and the breathtaking lake near Bicske fascinated him at first sight. According to him, he knew immediately that all ingredients of a championship golf course were to find there.
O'Connor has other connections to Hungary as he is the honorary president of the Hungarian Golf Association. The head of the association, Zoltán Tringer handed over a crystal to him symbolizing his honorary presidency right at the Budapest Gate Golf Club foundation-stone ceremony.
