Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Haute-Savoie to really enjoy the courses?

We find late spring, from May to early June, or early autumn in September, offers the perfect balance. You'll avoid the peak summer crowds and heat, enjoying lush conditions and comfortable temperatures for your rounds amidst the stunning alpine backdrop. The courses are typically in fantastic shape during these windows.

What kind of golf experience should I expect from the courses in Haute-Savoie? Are they all mountain tracks?

While many courses here embrace the dramatic alpine terrain, offering thrilling elevation changes and breathtaking views, you'll also find some lovely parkland layouts near the lakes. Expect impeccably maintained greens and fairways, often with water features or strategic bunkers that demand precision. It's a diverse mix, so you won't be playing the same type of course repeatedly.

How does the cost of golfing in Haute-Savoie compare to other French regions or European destinations?

You'll find green fees in Haute-Savoie are generally on par with other premium golf destinations in France, perhaps a bit higher than some less-touristed regions due to the prime location. Expect to pay anywhere from 70-120 Euros for a round at a quality course, with some top-tier clubs commanding more. We think the stunning scenery and course quality make it a worthwhile investment.

We love golf, but what else can we do in Haute-Savoie when we're not on the course?

This region is a playground beyond the fairways. We highly recommend exploring Lake Annecy with its charming old town and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming or boating. You could also hike some incredible mountain trails or visit the picturesque towns like Chamonix for a different kind of alpine experience.

If I only have time for one or two rounds, which courses in Haute-Savoie truly stand out for a memorable experience?

For sheer beauty and a challenging round, we always point to Golf Club d'Annecy, offering incredible lake views and a well-designed layout. If you're seeking a true mountain test with dramatic elevation, Golf Club de Chamonix delivers an unforgettable alpine golf adventure. Both offer distinct, high-quality experiences that capture the essence of the region.
