Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play Golf des Alpes to truly experience its mountain charm?

You'll want to aim for late spring through early autumn, typically May to October, for the most reliable weather and stunning alpine backdrops. We find September offers crisp air and fewer crowds, making for a truly memorable round without the summer rush.

What unique challenges does the alpine terrain present at Golf des Alpes, and is it walkable?

The elevation changes here are no joke, demanding precise club selection and often leaving you with uphill or downhill lies. While you can walk it, we highly recommend a buggy to conserve energy and truly enjoy the views, especially on the back nine's more dramatic holes.

Are there any signature holes at Golf des Alpes that really showcase its mountain setting?

Absolutely, the par-3 12th is a stunner, playing downhill to a green framed by towering peaks - it's a postcard moment you won't forget. We also love the panoramic views from the 18th tee, a perfect way to cap off your round with a final glimpse of the surrounding Alps.

What's the post-round experience like at Golf des Alpes, and are there good dining options nearby?

The clubhouse terrace is where you'll want to unwind, offering fantastic views and a relaxed atmosphere for a post-round drink or light meal. For a more substantial dinner, we suggest heading into a nearby alpine village like Megève or Chamonix for authentic Savoyard cuisine.

How does Golf des Alpes compare in terms of value and experience to other top courses in France?
