GOLF DES GETS
🇫🇷 Les Gets, Rhône-Alpes, FR
Designed by Olivier Don Gradi
Golf des Gets occupies alpine terrain in the Portes du Soleil region of the French Alps, situated at approximately 1,200 meters elevation in the village of Les Gets. Olivier Don Gradi designed the course to work with the natural mountain topography, incorporating elevation changes and the wooded landscape characteristic of this part of Haute-Savoie. The setting places the course within a year-round resort area known primarily for winter skiing, where golf serves as a summer complement to the region's outdoor recreation offerings.
The routing navigates slopes and natural contours that require golfers to manage uphill and downhill lies throughout the round. Fairways move through stands of pine and fir, with views extending toward surrounding peaks when the layout opens. The alpine environment influences playing conditions, with cooler temperatures at elevation and the occasional afternoon weather pattern common to mountain courses. Strategic interest comes from the terrain itself rather than extensive artificial features, as the design relies on natural angles and elevation to create variety.
The club functions as part of Les Gets' seasonal tourism infrastructure, drawing visitors during the summer months when the ski village transitions to hiking, mountain biking, and golf. The facility reflects the practical character of alpine resort golf, where accessibility and integration with the broader mountain experience take precedence over championship length or tournament pedigree. The course serves both destination visitors and regional players seeking golf in a mountain setting.
