The Evian Resort
Évian-les-Bains
The Evian Resort is a superb choice for UK golfers looking for a luxury France golf holiday with lake views, Alpine scenery and genuine tournament pedigree. Set in Évian-les-Bains, on the French shore of Lake Geneva, the resort brings together three hotels, the Thermes spa, a casino, concert hall, two golf courses and eleven restaurants, giving it far more depth than a standard golf hotel.
The main golf attraction is Evian Resort Golf Club, home of The Champions Course. This is the venue for The Amundi Evian Championship, the only women’s Major in Continental Europe, so golfers get the chance to play a course with serious global status. The setting is a huge part of the appeal too, with fairways overlooking Lake Geneva and the Alps, creating a round that feels scenic without losing its competitive edge.
For golfers who want extra practice or a shorter, more relaxed round, The Lake Course at the Academy offers six par-3 holes across 885 metres, with views across the lake and mountains. It is ideal for warm-ups, mixed-ability groups or adding a quick extra round into the trip.
For UK travellers, Evian is practical as well as premium. Geneva Airport is around 45km from Évian-les-Bains, making it suitable for a long weekend or a longer French Alps golf escape. With golf, spa, fine dining, lakeside exploring and mountain scenery all close together, The Evian Resort is a polished and memorable golf holiday option.

About The Area
Évian-les-Bains is one of France’s most elegant golf holiday destinations, set on the southern shore of Lake Geneva with the Alps rising behind it. Famous for its spa heritage, mineral water and Belle Époque charm, it is ideal for golfers who want scenic golf, lakeside relaxation and a refined French resort atmosphere in one trip.
The main draw is Evian Resort Golf Club, a historic venue dating back to 1904 and home to the Champions Course. This 18-hole, par-72 layout measures 6,120 metres and enjoys a spectacular setting between Lake Geneva and the Alps, with views throughout the round. It also hosts The Amundi Evian Championship, the only Major golf tournament in continental Europe, which gives the destination serious golfing pedigree.
Away from the fairways, Évian-les-Bains has plenty to offer. Golfers can stroll the lakeside promenade, visit the town’s famous spa facilities, enjoy restaurants and cafés, take boat trips across Lake Geneva, or explore nearby Thonon, Yvoire and Montreux. The combination of golf, wellness, food, scenery and culture makes it especially appealing for couples and groups who want more than a standard golf break.
For UK golfers, Évian-les-Bains works beautifully as part of a tailor-made France golf holiday, either as a relaxing lakeside escape or combined with Geneva, the French Alps or a wider Lake Geneva itinerary. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right hotels, tee times and travel route for a polished, memorable golf holiday.
