When the Streif becomes a golf course

Updated 24.06.2022

Golfing on the legendary Streif? Sounds special, and it is. Only once a year is it possible to conquer the most legendary downhill course in the world with a golf club. At "Golf theStreif", ski stars compete with passionate golfers. The presentation of the new Hahnenkamm Race poster rounds off this unique event.

In bright sunshine, the starting house on the Hahnenkamm mutated into a Mecca of golf. At Golf the Streif, prominent ski stars, footballers, tobogganing world champions and passionate golfers met for the annual tournament of a special kind.

Golfthe Streif on 23 JuneGolfingon the Streif? The unique tournament format on the legendary downhill course makes it possible-and only once a year. The prominent highlight, formerly known as Streif Attack, will be presented under a new name for the first time in 2022. A must for connoisseurs of the format, where the adrenaline of the Streif is mixed with the precision of golf.

After breakfast at the start house, the foursome will play 12 holes along the downhill race course, with the best-placed ball serving as a reference for the next shot. A short stop at the Seidlalm provides a breather before the challenging traverse to the finish. The winner is the team with the fewest strokes. For the pre-caddies, this is not a safe undertaking - which is why they are equipped with helmets along the course. A Hole in One, Longest Drive and Nearest to the Pin also pay off for the players and are rewarded with special prizes.
