Golfclub Lenzerheide, Alpine golf course in Vaz/Obervaz, Switzerland.
Golfclub Lenzerheide is an 18-hole championship course in the Graubünden mountains featuring varied terrain with multiple water hazards and strategically positioned bunkers. The layout uses the natural mountain topography and combines different difficulty levels across the site.
The course opened in 1951 following designs by Donald Harradine and Kurt Rossknecht, establishing a major recreational facility in the region. It was designed from the start as a championship-level layout and became part of Switzerland's established golf landscape.
The club attracts golfers seeking mountain relaxation and connection to the landscape around them. Members enjoy the course particularly during summer months when weather conditions are at their best.
Visitors should check conditions before playing days, as alpine weather patterns can change quickly and affect the course. Being at higher elevation, good footwear and possibly extra equipment for changing conditions makes sense.
The course sits at roughly 1,400 meters elevation and winds through spruce and pine forests, offering an unusual alpine golfing experience. The par-69 layout was designed specifically for the mountain setting and incorporates the natural forest structure as an integral design feature.
