Golf de Corrençon-en-Vercors

Golf de Corrençon-en-Vercors sits in the Vercors Regional Natural Park in the French Alps, approximately 40 kilometers southwest of Grenoble. The course occupies a high-altitude setting at roughly 1,100 meters elevation, surrounded by the limestone cliffs and forested plateaus characteristic of the Vercors Massif. Designed by Hugues Lambert, the layout takes advantage of the natural mountain terrain while working within the constraints of alpine topography and climate. The course plays through a landscape of meadows and coniferous forest, with the dramatic vertical walls of the Vercors providing a distinctive backdrop. The routing reflects the challenges of mountain golf: elevation changes, cooler temperatures, and a shorter playing season than lowland courses. The design incorporates the natural contours of the site, and players encounter holes that move through varied terrain typical of the region. Corrençon-en-Vercors itself is a small alpine village known primarily for cross-country skiing and outdoor recreation. The golf course serves both seasonal visitors to the area and regional players seeking mountain golf. The facility operates during the warmer months when snow has cleared from the higher elevations. The setting offers a different character from the more famous alpine courses in neighboring Switzerland or Austria, reflecting the particular geology and vegetation of the Vercors plateau.
