Golf courses in and around Chamonix

Chamonix

Our local course is open to play from approximately late April to early November. Being situated at about 1050 metres above sea level, most of the winter it is covered in snow and more likely to be frequented by cross country skiers than golfers.

A relatively short par 72 at 5482 metres (off the yellows) is made deceptively diificult by the narrow fairways, small and well protected greens (a few of which are elevated) and of course the water features. 9 holes involve water crossings.Golf de Chamonix

Sion

Sion is one of our favourite winter courses. When our own Chamonix course is snow-bound in the winter, we drive the 55 minutes to Sion to get our golf fix. The roman town of Sion is at an elevation of 500 metres above sea level so is open pretty much all year - only closed occasionally due to heavy frost or abnormally low snowfall.Sion Golf Club

Esery

50 minutes drive from Chamonix and situated about 550 metres above sea level, Esery is testing course. For us Chamonix members who are used to putting on relatively flat greens, the excessive borrow on Esery's greens always proves to be a challenge. Esery golf club

Giez (Annecy)

In the winter, if you don't find us playing at Sion, you'll find us here at the Golf de Giez just past the southern end of the beautiful Lac d'Annecy.

About an hours drive away through the Stunning Gorges d"Arly, the course is set in a mixture of coniferous and decisuous forest with stunning views across the lake.

One interesting feature is the shuttle bus which takes you from the green of the 3rd up the mountainside on a steep winding road to the tee of the 4th. Holes 4 to 7 wind their way back down to the bottom of the valley where you rejoin the rest of the course. Golf de Giez
