Romanian Golf History
The first man who ever
played golf in Romania was King Ferdinand I and the first woman was Queen Mary,
in 1923.
In 2004, after being a
prohibited sport in Romania during the communist period, was created the
Romanian Golf Association.
Romania`s first golf course was born on Prahova Valey, in Breaza,
designed by the great architect Andras Peres, with expert help from Ronald
Castillo, the champion from Hawaii.
Breaza is a
beautiful town situated on the Prahova Valley, in a green area with fresh air,
perfect for relaxation. It is also known as the Romanian Davos due to its
beautiful scenery and healthy air.
Lac de Verde Golf Complex is among the few homologated golf courses in
Romania
It is the first mountain resort on the Prahova Valley when coming from
Bucharest, only 103 km from the capital of Romania.
It`s history dates back
from the 16th century, the town was said to have been established by
a certain Neagoe of Breaza in 1503.
Some Romanian writers were inspired in
their works by the beautiful scenery of Breaza, including Martha Bbescu, the
wife of Romanian ruler Gheorghe Bibescu.
Close by are the towns of Campina
with the house of the painter Nicolae Grigorescu and that of the writer Bogdan
Petriceicu Hasdeu and Ploiesti with museums like The Clocks Museum.
