Is it playable all year round..or are you under snow for a period?
Usually it is closed from mid-December to mid-February. Snow is common from November to March but it varies considerable from one year to another
looks lovely, was it a mini remote controlled helicopter they used?
Yes
Wow, what a lovely course. What does it cost to join and how much would it cost to play a round as a visitor?
Joining fee is EUR 4000, yearly sub app. 1400, greenfees vary from 55 to 90 Euro depending on season, WE/WD and tee time.
Not what I expected, but looks great. Was it designed by an American ?
The original design was by Hauser&Hauser (Austrian company) but the course was redesigned in 2000 by Irish architecht Jeff Howes. Hole 13 was redesigned in 2008 and the lovely lake hole 16 added (the former hole 14 was abandoned)
Lovely looking course, looks ideal for a forum meet
Looking foreward to welcoming you. I can negotiate a considerable discount on our fees
