Play golf in Chamonix
Located at the foot of the giants of the Alps, in Les Praz de Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, the Chamonix Golf Club welcomes you in a prestigious setting, after having put your bags down at theHotel du Refuge des Aiglons. Because here, you are surrounded by the most beautiful peaks: the Aiguille Verte, the Aiguille du Midi and the mythical Mont-Blanc.
Located at an altitude of 1000 meters, the land is the work of the American architect Robert Trent Jones Senior. In addition, it is renowned for being one of the most beautiful mountain courses in France.
If we tend to think that mountain golf has reliefs that complicate the practice of the game, this is not the case here, since Robert Trent Jones Senior created a completely flat itinerary.
You will discover an 18-hole course, nestled between the Aiguilles Rouges and Mont-Blanc mountains, an itinerary that is both technical and with a grain of subtlety due to the presence of bunkers and water obstacles.
Here, the opinions are unanimous, the pleasure of the game is associated with the pleasure of the eyes, since there is no need to raise your head to have an incredible view of the reliefs.
Equip yourself with your club and your balls and simply enjoy the most enchanting setting for a sport whose gentle practice blends perfectly with the mountain environment.
