Golf courses in Switzerland

Switzerland is a destination that golfers choose not for the number of courses but for the surroundings in which they play. The courses here are set in landscapes that in other countries are reserved for nature reserves or ski areas, with views of Alpine peaks that can genuinely distract you mid-swing. Leading Courses favourites include Golf Club Crans-sur-Sierre in Valais and Golf Club de Genève near Geneva. Crans-sur-Sierre is world-famous as host of the Omega European Masters and sits at 1,500 metres altitude with views of Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and the Weisshorn. A particular curiosity of playing at altitude: the thinner air means the ball travels further than usual — something most golfers regard as a pleasant side effect. The golf season in the Alpine regions runs from May to October. In the lower-lying areas around Geneva and Zürich the season is longer. Greenfees are on the higher side by Swiss standards, but fully justified by the quality and surroundings. More than enough reason to jump in the car and discover what Switzerland has to offer the golfer. Browse all Swiss golf courses on Leading Courses and get inspired.
