Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

With only one golf course in Hautes-Alpes, is it really worth the trip for a golf vacation?

Yes, absolutely. While you won't be course-hopping, the Golf Club Claviere offers a truly unique alpine experience at over 1,700 meters. We found its challenging mountain layout and breathtaking views make it a memorable round, perfect for a focused golf escape.

When is the best time of year to play golf in the Hautes-Alpes region?

You'll want to aim for the summer months, typically late June through early September. This is when the course is in peak condition and the alpine weather is most reliable for a comfortable round, avoiding the lingering snow or early autumn chill.

Beyond the single golf course, what other activities can we enjoy in the Hautes-Alpes?

This region is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, even if golf is your primary focus. We highly recommend exploring the incredible hiking and mountain biking trails, or even trying some white-water rafting on the Dora Riparia for an adrenaline rush. The charming alpine villages also offer delightful local cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere.

How accessible is the Hautes-Alpes golf course, and what should we expect regarding costs?

Accessing the course typically involves driving, as it's nestled high in the mountains - plan for scenic but winding roads. Green fees are comparable to other quality Italian courses, but factor in potentially higher costs for accommodation in peak summer season due to its popularity with hikers and cyclists.

What's the most unique challenge or highlight of playing golf at Golf Club Claviere?

Without a doubt, the altitude is a game-changer - your ball will fly further, which is fun but also requires adjusting your club selection. The real highlight, though, is the sheer beauty of playing amidst the towering peaks and crisp mountain air; it's an unforgettable sensory experience.
