Frequently Asked Questions

How does playing golf at Montgenèvre's high altitude affect your game?

You'll definitely notice the thinner air here, which means your ball will fly further - often 10-15% more than at sea level. We recommend taking one less club than usual, especially on your drives, and embracing the challenge of reading the mountain slopes on the greens. It's a unique experience that adds an extra layer of strategy to every shot.

When is the best time to play Golf de Montgenèvre for optimal conditions and views?

We highly recommend visiting between late June and early September. During these summer months, the course is in peak condition, and you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding French and Italian Alps. Avoid the shoulder seasons if you want to guarantee lush fairways and reliable weather.

Is Golf de Montgenèvre a challenging course, or more suited for a relaxed round?

It's definitely more of a relaxed, scenic round than a championship test, but don't underestimate the mountain terrain. The course features some tricky elevation changes and tight fairways that demand accuracy, especially on holes like the par-3 7th with its dramatic drop. It's a fun challenge for all handicaps, offering plenty of memorable shots without being overly punishing.

What's the typical cost for a round at Montgenèvre, and is it good value for money?

Expect green fees to be in line with other quality mountain courses in the Alps, generally ranging from 50-70 Euros for 18 holes. We think it's excellent value, considering the stunning alpine setting and the unique experience of playing golf at this altitude right on the French-Italian border. You're paying for more than just a round; you're paying for an unforgettable mountain golf adventure.

Beyond the golf, what's a must-do experience when visiting Montgenèvre?

After your round, you absolutely have to take a moment to soak in the views from the clubhouse terrace - it's truly spectacular. We also suggest exploring some of the easy hiking trails that start right from the village; they offer even more incredible perspectives of the Alps and are a perfect way to unwind. Don't forget to try some local mountain cheese and charcuterie too!
