Tále - Gray Bear
Golf at Gray Bear
Since its inception (25.11.1997), Tále Golf Club’s priority has been to become the “home club” on the golf course. The club has devoted all its energies to this end, culminating in an agreement with an investor and the preparation and construction a golf area with an 18-hole professional golf course at Tále.
Tále Golf Club is the only home club for the Gray Bear golf course, the first championship course in Slovakia. It was complete and opened in 2002. The course was designed by American designers Bob Walton and Skip Malek, P.G.A. The Gray Bear course is splendidly laid out and designed. The scenery of the mountain valley is rich with enchanting natural beauty and the course is a challenge evocative of veteran golf courses. The firm play surface of the course is covered in a mix of grasses exactly like those found at British Open courses in Scotland.
The golf course is situated in the Tále recreational region with an area of nearly 60 ha and a well-developed infrastructure. The project was executed by International Golf Course Design LLC of Hilton Head Island, USA, under the expert supervision of British firm Southern Golf, Ltd. The course is par 71 and is high difficulty (SSS). The shortest hole is 126 m (hole 2, par 3), the longest 569 m (hole 14, par 5). The course is 6,266 m in length. Holes with par 3: 5, par 4: 9, par 5: 4. The SSS is approximately 73.4. Gray Bear is a golf course which provides uncommon experiences at every hole.
