Golf Club de Bonmont

Golf Club de Bonmont sits in the rolling countryside of the Vaud canton near Chéserex, positioned between Lake Geneva and the Jura Mountains in western Switzerland. The course was designed by Donald Harradine, a prolific architect who shaped much of Swiss golf during the mid-20th century and whose work appears at more than a hundred courses across continental Europe. Harradine's designs typically emphasize playability while working sensitively with natural terrain, and de Bonmont reflects this approach with routing that moves through wooded areas and open farmland characteristic of the region. The layout takes advantage of the area's gentle elevation changes and mature tree-lined corridors. The property offers views toward the surrounding mountains and countryside, with holes that incorporate both strategic bunkering and natural hazards. Water features appear on several holes, requiring careful club selection and course management. The design balances risk-reward opportunities with more straightforward holes, creating variety across the eighteen-hole round. De Bonmont serves as a private club with a membership drawn from the surrounding Lake Geneva region, including nearby towns and the broader international community that characterizes this part of Switzerland. The club maintains traditional European golf club standards in both course conditioning and clubhouse atmosphere. Its location places it within reasonable reach of Geneva and Lausanne, making it part of the established golf circuit in French-speaking Switzerland.
