The Diamond Country Club near Vienna has been chosen to host the 2010 Austrian Open, which takes place between September 16 and 19.
The par 72 Diamond Course was designed by renowned English architect Jeremy Pern, the former vice-president of the British Institute of Golf Course Architects.
The Diamond Country Club takes over the staging of the Austrian Open – which was first played in 1990 – from Fontana Golf Club, the host venue for the past seven seasons.
Keith Waters, chief operating officer of the European Tour, said: “I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to Christian Guzy, the owner of the Diamond Country Club, for his commitment and support in securing the future of the Austrian Open. The Diamond Course is one of the finest in Austria, and I’m sure our members will enjoying meeting the varied challenges it presents.”
The prize fund for this year’s tournament, which is the last regular European Tour event before the Ryder Cup, will be set at 750,000 euros.
