Golfcourse Samedan, Golf course in Samedan, Switzerland.
Golfcourse Samedan sits at 1,721 meters (5,650 feet) elevation in the Engadin Valley and features 18 holes with a par of 72 set in alpine terrain. The fairways wind through mountain meadows surrounded by steep slopes.
The course opened in 1893 as Switzerland's first golf facility, marking the start of alpine golf in the country. This establishment brought a new sport to European mountain regions.
The course is deeply rooted in mountain culture, attracting regional golfers who gather for tournaments and social rounds throughout the year. Its setting reflects how golf has become part of local alpine life.
The course operates fully from May through October, while winter reduces play to nine holes with special winter greens. Visitors will find professional instructors, practice facilities, and equipment rentals available on-site.
During winter months, the facility operates an indoor simulator allowing play to continue year-round despite the snow. This blend of traditional outdoor course and modern technology creates an unusual destination for all-season alpine golf.
