Black Stork Golf Resort

At the beginning of the story of the Black Stork golf course, the first golf experience was Ing. Jiří Hruška, who was in West Germany in 1984 when signing the government agreement with Ruhrgaz. "The documentary was being prepared on a golf course, and that was the first time I met this noble game. I liked her. My partner played and I wore clubs for him, "recalls the president of the Lomnický golf club, Ing. Jiří Hruška. In an effort to give the Tatras something extra, he decided to build a golf course under them.

Enthusiasm for the cause helped to cope with the difficult times of merging and buying land in the vicinity of Veľká Lomnica. Although the surroundings of Jiří Hruška did not always believe in the initiative, it was important that he found understanding with a successful co-investor. The courage and the belief that it could succeed gradually began to turn dreams into reality. Golf returned to the Tatras in 1999 on the first practice field. A year later, there was a natural 9-hole golf course in the world, and another four years later, a covered tee was added. But things were already started so that in the next 6 years there was an 18-hole course in the world with a new hotel and fantastic facilities for all golf lovers under the High Tatras. Later another nine came, there is a water park in the plans, dreams and visions go even further.

And what about the black stork itself, which gave the whole area its name? The related story dates from 2003. At the end of the golf season, a group of members of the Lomnický Golf Club sat on the terrace of the old clubhouse. Basking in the last rays of the sun, the idea of organizing a senior golf tournament in the head of one of the relaxing gentlemen in his head. In an effort to get the idea to an end, those present began to think about a suitable name that would clearly locate and differentiate the tournament from the competition. At that time, a black stork emerged inconspicuously from a huge number of ideas. Thanks to the nearby swamps, this rare natural species regularly appears in the sky above the golf course. Its occurrence was certainly helped by biozones with swampy and wetland communities, which were already established during the construction of the playground and into which entry is prohibited. Thanks to the interplay of all these favorable circumstances, the black stork has practically become a traditional host of visitors to the golf resort, symbolically bearing its name. Because it wasn't just the idea of a senior tournament ...
