Golfing in Chamonix
Chamonix Golf Club
Come to Chamonix in the French Alps for your golfing break in eurpoe this summer.
During the winter, Chamonix’s 35 hectares of golf course are covered in snow and ice. Situated between the Mont Blanc and the Aiguille’s Rouges Massifs, the 6076m long course only becomes playable from May 31st to October 1st due to its high altitude.
The first three holes of the Chamonix club were built in 1934. It was soon extended to a nine hole course, and in 1982 Chamonix invited world-renowned golf course architect Robert Trent-Jones to design the last nine holes.
The course features numerous bunkers, water holes, woodlands and streams, but is on flat ground. Only two teeing grounds are on a hill, just to remind you that it is a mountain golf course.
