Golfclub Interlaken-Unterseen
Interlaken
Set between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, Golfclub Interlaken-Unterseen offers one of Switzerland’s most scenic alpine golf experiences. The course sits close to the Weissenau nature reserve on Lake Thun, with views towards the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau creating a proper postcard backdrop throughout the round.
The 18-hole championship course is a par-72 layout measuring around 6,200 metres from the back tees. It combines open parkland, tree-lined sections and gently undulating terrain, making it varied without feeling overly severe. Accuracy matters, especially with water, bunkers and protected greens in play, but the course remains enjoyable for a wide range of golfers.
Facilities include a driving range, putting green, short game area, pro shop, golf lessons and a clubhouse restaurant, making it a practical and welcoming stop for visiting golfers.
For Swiss golf holidays, Interlaken-Unterseen works beautifully alongside a luxury stay at Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa. It is ideal for golfers who want to combine quality golf with lake scenery, mountain excursions, scenic rail journeys and the full Interlaken alpine experience.

About The Area
nterlaken is one of Switzerland’s great mountain bases, sitting between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau rising beyond. For golfers, it offers a brilliant mix of scenic parkland golf, Alpine air and proper Swiss adventure, making it ideal for travellers who want more than a standard resort-style golf break. Switzerland Tourism describes Interlaken as an ideal starting point for excursions into the wider Jungfrau Region, which is exactly why it works so well as a touring base.
The main venue is Golfclub Interlaken-Unterseen, an 18-hole championship course set close to Lake Thun and the Weissenau nature reserve. The local tourism board describes it as a picturesque course with views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, testing both driving and accuracy in a beautiful natural setting. Golf in Switzerland also highlights the course’s position along the Weissenau nature reserve and its appeal for both ambitious golfers and newcomers, making it a strong choice for mixed-ability groups.
Golf here is best from late spring to early autumn, especially May to September, when the weather is milder, daylight is longer and the Alpine scenery is at its best. The course is relatively flat for a mountain region, but the views make it feel anything but ordinary.
Off the course, Interlaken is packed with things to do. Lake Thun offers boat trips, water activities and castle visits, while Harder Kulm gives panoramic views over both lakes after a short funicular ride. Jungfraujoch, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and Lake Brienz are all easy day trips.
For golfers seeking Swiss-quality golf, lake scenery and access to one of Europe’s most iconic mountain regions, Interlaken delivers a wonderfully balanced Alpine golf escape.
