Golf d'Aix-les-Bains, Historic golf course near Lake Bourget, France.
Golf d'Aix-les-Bains is an 18-hole, par-70 course measuring 5,519 metres across about 45 hectares. The Tillet stream winds between the fairway's water hazards, and the slightly rolling, tree-lined layout is irrigated regularly. An old clubhouse serves as the base for equipment and buggy hire.
Golf first appeared near the Corsuet hill in 1895. In 1904 wealthy English residents laid out a 9-hole course inside the Aix-les-Bains racecourse; the town later bought the land and doubled it to 18 holes, inaugurated in 1914. Play stopped during the First World War, when the town became a rear hospital. It is the oldest course in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and the fifth oldest in France.
The club hosts regular competitions including the Grand Prix d'Aix-les-Bains, which draws experienced players from the surrounding area each year. These tournaments are woven into local sporting life and show how the course anchors the golfing community.
The course has 22 practice stations, two putting greens, and a pitching area where players can warm up before their round. These facilities are easily accessible from the main clubhouse area.
The course earned the Bronze Biodiversity Label in 2022 and uses electric mowing robots to cut emissions. This commitment shows how the club integrates environmental care into daily operations.
