Balatonudvari is situated by the shore of Lake Balaton, between Örvényes and Balatonakali, to the west of the Tihany Peninsula.

After the founding of the state, it was the property of the Hungarian kings, but in a record from 1164, it is referred to as the possession of the Atyuz Clan.

Also in Balatonudvari is one of Hungary's few 18 hole championship golf courses, the BalatonGolf Club.

This Par 72 course is played over old quarry areas, through wooded hills and over many lakes.

Here there are works of painters, potters and other artists along with exhibitions of local history and ethnography.
