The history of playing golf in our country is tightly connected to the Royal Family, the first golf strike/swing from Romania is dated 1929 and it belongs to King Ferdinand I at the opening of the Country Club, also known today as The Diplomatic Club. The first woman to play golf was Queen Mary.. The first professional golf player from Romania was Paul Tomita, who participated in 6 world cahampionships, this being considered an unique performance for our country. At the moment Romania has 8 Golf Courses : The Diplomatic Club, Tite Golf Resort Club, Kings Land Country Club, Green Lake Golf Club, Selas Golf & Polo Club, Sun Garden Golf & Spa Resort, Transilvania Golf Club and The Paul Tomita Golf Club which it alone has 18 holes. Two more golf courses are being built, one near Sibiu and another near Alba Iulia, thus making Transilvania a region worth visiting by the golf passionate players around the Europe.
