About this course

Buna Vista Sagogn sits in the Surselva region of Graubünden, positioned above the Rhine valley near the village of Sagogn in eastern Switzerland. Designed by John Chilver Stainer and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies elevated terrain that offers views across the valley and surrounding Alpine landscape. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with holes moving through meadowland and incorporating the slope and contours characteristic of this mountain region. The course plays as a nine-hole layout that can be repeated for eighteen holes, a common configuration for Alpine golf facilities where suitable terrain is limited. The design works with the existing landforms rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, reflecting both the environmental constraints of mountain golf and Stainer's approach to routing. Elevation changes feature throughout, requiring golfers to account for uphill and downhill shots as well as the effects of altitude on ball flight. Sagogn itself is a small Romansch-speaking village, and the course serves both local members and visiting golfers exploring the Graubünden region. The club operates in a relatively informal manner typical of smaller Swiss mountain courses, where the emphasis falls on accessible golf in a natural setting rather than championship-level challenge. The facility provides a straightforward Alpine golf experience for those traveling through the Surselva or staying in nearby Flims and Laax.

Getting there

The journey to Buna Vista Golf Sagogn begins at Zurich Airport, roughly ninety minutes west by car through the ascending terrain of eastern Switzerland. As the motorway yields to the winding cantonal roads of Graubünden, the landscape transforms into a procession of Alpine valleys and forested ridges, the Rhine Gorge - known locally as the Ruinaulta - carving dramatic white limestone cliffs below. The final ascent into Sagogn reveals a serene mountain village perched above the gorge, where Buna Vista awaits in quiet splendor, its fairways draped across high pastureland with views stretching toward the Surselva peaks.
