Golfclub Gstaad Saanenland is an 18-hole course set in the mountains near Zweisimmen at around 1,400 meters elevation. The layout spans roughly 5,300 meters and offers different playing lengths to suit various skill levels.
The club was founded in 1959 by local hoteliers and craftsmen who financed it through a visitor tax initiative. This creation reflected the region's postwar growth as a destination.
The club brings together local residents and visitors throughout the playing season in a shared sporting tradition. It serves as a gathering place where people from the valley come to play among the peaks.
The course is accessible during daylight hours and lets you play in rhythm with the mountain landscape. Visitors should prepare for variable weather and the effects of the higher elevation.
