Severiano Ballesteros Course

Frequently Asked Questions

How does playing at altitude on the Severiano Ballesteros Course impact my game?

You'll definitely notice the thinner air here, which means your ball will fly further-often 10-15% more than you're used to. We recommend taking one less club than usual and focusing on a smooth swing to maintain control. It's a fun challenge, but be prepared to adjust your distances.

When is the absolute best time to play the Severiano Ballesteros Course for ideal conditions and views?

We always steer people towards late June through early September. The course is in peak condition, the mountain wildflowers are blooming, and the weather is reliably warm and sunny for those incredible panoramic views. Avoid early spring or late autumn, as you risk encountering lingering snow or early chills.

What are the must-see holes or signature views I should look out for on this course?

The 8th hole, a par-3 dropping down towards the valley, is a real showstopper-you'll want your camera ready. We also love the stretch from 13 to 15, where the course truly opens up to reveal breathtaking views of the Valais Alps. It's not just golf; it's an experience for your eyes.

Is playing the Severiano Ballesteros Course worth the investment, and what can I expect regarding green fees?

Absolutely, it's a splurge, but one we consider well worth it for the unique mountain golf experience. Expect green fees to be on the higher end, typically in the 200-300 CHF range, especially during peak season. You're paying for world-class design, immaculate conditions, and those unparalleled Swiss Alps backdrops.

What's the post-round experience like at the Severiano Ballesteros Course, particularly the clubhouse and dining?

After your round, the clubhouse terrace is where you want to be. The views are spectacular, and it's the perfect spot to unwind with a local beer or a glass of Fendant. Their restaurant serves excellent, hearty Swiss fare-we particularly enjoy their regional specialties to refuel after those mountain climbs.
