Although not exactly known for her links, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic) does boast several beautiful courses. Judging by the elegant building in the foreground, this poster is most likely advertising Mariánské Lázne (Marienbad), a spa town with one of the courses. Other versions of this poster exist with "Czechoslovak State Railways" printed across the bottom.
