Playing Tips

The forested, tree-lined fairways reward accuracy off the tee more than raw distance, so prioritize finding the fairway.

Because the course uses a twin-tee system, tee placement alters angles and yardages—check which tees are in play and plan your approach accordingly.

Natural terrain and trees function as hazards throughout the layout, so favor conservative lay-ups to avoid blocked or awkward approach shots.

Being at the foot of the Northern Alps, wind can be variable and gusty, so monitor conditions and adjust club selection for wind and elevation changes.

Bentgrass greens are generally receptive but can show subtle breaks, so focus on distance control and read putts carefully.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

As a foothills course the weather is variable: cool mornings, warmer afternoons, possible afternoon thunderstorms in summer, and gusty or shifting winds from the mountains; conditions can change quickly.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (May–June and September–October) offers the most stable weather and the clearest views of the Northern Alps; winter brings snow and limited play.
