Sedrun at Golfclub Sedrun

Golfclub Sedrun occupies an alpine setting in the village of Sedrun, located in the Surselva region of Graubünden at approximately 1,450 meters above sea level. The course was designed by Donald Harradine, a prolific British architect who shaped dozens of layouts across Switzerland and continental Europe during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Harradine's work in the Swiss Alps often emphasized routing that worked with dramatic elevation changes and natural terrain features, and Sedrun reflects his approach to mountain golf design.

The course plays through meadowland characteristic of the high Graubünden valleys, with the surrounding peaks of the Gotthard massif forming the backdrop. The routing incorporates the natural slopes and contours of the alpine landscape, requiring golfers to navigate elevation changes and account for the thinner air at altitude, which affects ball flight. The layout is relatively compact, typical of mountain courses where usable terrain is limited by topography and seasonal conditions.

Sedrun serves as a summer destination, with the golf season constrained by snowfall and weather patterns common to high-elevation Swiss courses. The club operates in a region known primarily for winter sports and the nearby Oberalp Pass, making it part of a smaller network of alpine golf facilities in central Switzerland. The course offers a straightforward mountain golf experience without the scale or tournament pedigree of Switzerland's more prominent resort layouts, appealing to golfers seeking access to the sport in a remote alpine environment.
