Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Golf des Arcs?

We highly recommend visiting during the shoulder seasons. Late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) offers ideal temperatures and vibrant scenery without the peak summer crowds. You'll find the course in fantastic condition, and the mountain air is incredibly refreshing.

What kind of challenge can I expect at Golf des Arcs, given its mountain setting?

Be prepared for some significant elevation changes and stunning panoramic views that can definitely be distracting! The course demands precision, especially on the downhill holes where judging distance is key. It's not overly long, but the undulating fairways and strategic bunkering will test your short game.

Is Golf des Arcs good value for money, and what are the typical green fees?

We think it's excellent value, especially considering the unique mountain experience you get. Green fees typically range from €50-€70, which is fair for a course of this quality and setting in France. Look for twilight rates or multi-round packages if you're staying in the area for a few days.

What's the post-round experience like at Golf des Arcs, and what amenities should I look for?

The clubhouse terrace is an absolute must-visit after your round; the views of Mont Blanc are simply breathtaking. Grab a local beer or a glass of rosé and soak it all in. They also have a well-stocked pro shop and practice facilities that are perfect for a quick warm-up.

What's one unique tip for playing Golf des Arcs that most visitors miss?

Don't underestimate the impact of the altitude on your ball flight - it will travel further here than you're used to! We recommend taking one less club on your approach shots, especially on downhill holes, until you get a feel for it. Also, bring a camera; the scenery is truly spectacular.
