Transalpina hotel guide. Independent hotel in Transalpina, Romania

"As this is the only 18 hole course in this region of the country, I did not know what to expect. I has thoroughly exceeded my expectations. The accommodations are very nice and clean. The included breakfast is cooked to order and it was delicious. The pool is also wonderful and they offer bar service until 5pm every day. The best part of the stay was the golf. We were not able to bring our own set, so we rented. It was a good set, not the latest model, but it was easy to use and it was nice to warm up on the range prior to the round. The range does not allow long clubs to be hit due to the small area, but warming up with irons is sufficient. Walking-only, but you can use a pull-cart. The course layout is fantastic and the greens have a good complex, many of them being very large. There are plenty of hazards where you can lose a stray shot, but the course plays fair. I was impressed by the condition of the course and you can tell they take pride in the course and amenities. The defense of the course is it’s rough. You’ll want to keep it out of the rough or you will pay the price. In short, this is a quality golf resort with wonderful accommodations and amenities and the golf is good enough to come back again and again. We’ll be back for sure."
