Two Ljubljana golf clubs join forces
On 16 October 2026, the Slovenian Golf Federation (Golf zveza Slovenije, GZS) announced that the merger of Golf klub Ljubljana and Golf klub Cubo had been completed. The organisation is now called Golf klub Cubo Ljubljana. This is a significant change in the capital region's club landscape, not the opening of another course.
The federation describes Golf klub Ljubljana, established in 1982, as Slovenia's second-oldest golf club. Cubo, meanwhile, has grown into one of the country's larger clubs in recent years. The new entity aims to combine the historic institution's traditions with the newer club's organisational reach.
Three dates — and the leadership team
Members approved the founding document and appointed officers at a meeting on 2 June 2026. The new legal entity was registered on 10 September 2026, according to the Bizi company directory, which reproduces information from Slovenia's AJPES registry. GZS publicly reported the completed merger on 16 October. Those dates describe different stages of the same process.
Tomaž Cirman is president, Boris Kosuta vice-president and Luka Triller general secretary. The board includes Urša Vuga, Romana Golob, Dejan Podgoršek, Drago Martinjak and Drago Đuragić, as identified by the federation.
Junior golf and the Ljubljana Open tradition
The new club has made children's and junior development a central goal. It intends to improve pathways into the sport, provide structured training, and cooperate with GZS and fellow clubs. The federation points to Mai Luka Triller, Slovenia's 2026 men's national champion, as an example of existing competitive progress.
Another priority is Ljubljana Open, a tournament with more than 30 years of history. The club hopes to preserve its place in Slovenian golf while attracting new participants. These are plans, not yet measured achievements: no detailed budget, academy capacity or implementation schedule accompanied the announcement.
What this means — and does not mean — for players
The merger involves two club organisations. It should not be mistaken for a new golf-course opening or a transfer of course ownership. CUBO Golf Ljubljana, an existing facility at Smlednik near the capital, is closely associated with the combined club. The federation has not announced revised fees, membership conditions or construction plans.
The true test will be whether the shared structure increases junior participation, supports regular club activity and keeps the Ljubljana Open tradition alive in the coming seasons.
