Created in 1983 Donald harradine the first 18 holes of the course in Zell am See-Kaprun, the Englishman counted alongside his German colleague Bernhard von Limburger one of the most important golf course planners in Europe. Only five years later, the course was expanded to 27 holes. The final expansion of the current 'Kitzsteinhorn' course to 18 holes was completed in 1993 according to the plans of the engineer Hermann Schauer, a member of the golf club completed. This increased the total offering to 36 holes.

The course record on the original course 'Schmittenhöhe' has been held by the German Bernhard Longer with 66 strokes. On this course (par 72), the men play a total of 6.218 meters, while the women have to cover about 750 meters less. On the 'Kitzsteinhorn' (par 73), the white ball must be moved a total of 6.146 meters (women 5.421 meters) in as few strokes as possible.
