Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

With only one golf course, is Appenzell Innerrhoden truly a golf destination?

Absolutely, but approach it differently. You're not coming for a multi-course marathon; you're coming for a singular, incredibly scenic round at Golf Gonten. It's an experience where the views of the Alpstein massif often distract you more than your swing.

When's the ideal time of year to play golf in Appenzell Innerrhoden?

You'll find the course at its best from late May through early October. We recommend aiming for late summer-early autumn - think September - when the air is crisp, the crowds are thinner, and the mountain colors are truly spectacular.

What kind of atmosphere can I expect around the golf course in Appenzell Innerrhoden?

Prepare for pure Swiss alpine charm. The course is nestled in a traditional Appenzeller landscape, meaning you'll be surrounded by rolling hills, traditional farmhouses, and the sound of cowbells. It's incredibly peaceful and authentically local, far from any resort-style golf complex.

How easy is it to secure a tee time at Golf Gonten, and what should I budget for green fees?

Booking ahead is always wise, especially on weekends, but it's generally not as competitive as larger golf regions. Expect green fees to be in line with Swiss standards, typically around 100-130 CHF for 18 holes, which is fair for the quality and setting you get.

Given there's only one course, what else should I plan to do in Appenzell Innerrhoden during my golf trip?

Think of your golf round as the centerpiece of a broader Appenzell adventure. We highly recommend exploring the hiking trails around Ebenalp and Seealpsee, or immersing yourself in the unique Appenzeller culture with a visit to a cheese factory or a traditional 'Landsgemeinde' square.
