The Dolina Kardinala Golf & Country Club, Croatia
brand new and only 18 hole golf course, has recently
opened in Krasic, twenty miles from Zagreb near the
town of Karlovac. In an idyllic and untouched landscape,
amidst centuries old forest, the club is located in
the immediate vicinity of Cardinal Stepinac's birthplace.
Dolina Kardinala means "Valley of the Cardinals" as the region was the birthplace of three famous cardinals,
the most famous of the three being Stepinac, a reputed
Croatian patriot of the post World War II period.
When the turmoil of the partition of the former Yugoslav
Federation ended and true independence came to Croatia
in 1995, Matej Majic and his two business partners
joined forces to build Croatia first and only true
Golf & Country Club. After purchasing 75 hectares
(185 acres) in small parcels from several different
owners, Majic and company spared little expense constructing
an immaculately groomed facility which include an
18 hole course by Swan Golf Designs, a nine hole par
3 course, a 300-yard long practice range, a chipping
area and two practice greens as well as a beautiful
clubhouse sited in an historic building.
