About this course

Golf Club Montreux sits in the Rhône Valley near Aigle in the canton of Vaud, approximately fifteen kilometers inland from Lake Geneva. The course occupies terrain between the valley floor and the lower slopes of the surrounding Alps, with views extending across vineyards and toward the peaks that define this part of Switzerland. Ronald Fream and Donald Harradine designed the layout, which opened in the 1980s on land that transitions from relatively flat agricultural parcels to more rolling, wooded sections. The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes, with several holes playing uphill or downhill through corridors of mature trees. The front nine tends to move across more open ground, while the back nine climbs into hillier, more enclosed terrain. Water features appear on a handful of holes, and bunkers are positioned to define landing areas and guard greens. The course measures over 6,000 meters from the championship tees, offering length appropriate for competitive play while remaining accessible from forward markers. Montreux serves both local members and visitors exploring the Lake Geneva region. The club operates in a setting where golf is less common than in neighboring France or Germany, and the course provides a mountain-valley experience distinct from links or parkland designs found elsewhere in Europe. The clubhouse overlooks the property and the broader valley, and the facility includes practice areas and dining typical of Swiss golf clubs.

Getting there

The journey to Golf Club Montreux begins at Geneva International Airport (GVA), roughly an hour's drive east along the northern shore of Lake Geneva. The route traces the Riviera vaudoise through vineyard-terraced slopes and Belle Époque resort towns, the water glinting to your left as the Alps rise steadily ahead. As you approach Aigle, the landscape shifts from lakeside elegance to the dramatic verticality of the Rhône Valley, where the club sits tucked beneath the limestone ramparts of the Dents du Midi - a transition from cosmopolitan refinement to alpine grandeur that feels both sudden and entirely earned.
