Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic
In 1994, the inaugural Czech Open was hosted at Mariánské Láznì. This was the first European Tour sanctioned golf event to be played on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain which was lifted when the Cold War ended after the 1991 Soviet collapse. The Czech Open remained at Mariánské Láznì for three years and was won by Per-Ulrik Johansson (1994), Peter Teravainen (1995) and Jonathan Lomas (1996). The event moved to the Karlštejn Golf Resort near Prague in 1997.
2003 heralded perhaps the proudest moment in Marianske Lazne’s long history when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II granted the golf club royal patronage. Royal Marianske Lazne Golf Club – hip hip hooray!
