Golf Küssnacht am Rigi
Küssnacht am Rigi
Set between Lake Zug and Lake Lucerne, Golf Küssnacht am Rigi offers a scenic and very playable Swiss golf experience in the heart of central Switzerland. Designed by Peter Harradine, the course sits within a rolling moraine landscape, giving it a natural, gently undulating feel with mountain and lake scenery close by.
The 18-hole course is a par-68 layout measuring around 5,397 metres, so it is shorter than many championship courses, but still provides plenty of interest. The design is varied rather than overpowering, with changing lies, thoughtful fairway shaping and well-maintained greens creating a fair challenge for a wide range of golfers.
It is particularly well suited to golfers looking for an enjoyable round rather than a brutally difficult test. The official club information describes it as offering a fair sporting challenge for all abilities, with strong course maintenance and attractive surroundings. Facilities include a driving range, practice areas, clubhouse and Panorama Restaurant, making it a comfortable stop within a Lake Lucerne or central Switzerland golf itinerary.
For golf holidays, Küssnacht works especially well when paired with Lucerne Golf Club, Golf Meggen or Bürgenstock for a varied central Switzerland stay.

About The Area
Küssnacht am Rigi sits beautifully between Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, at the foot of Mount Rigi. It is a brilliant base for golfers who want Swiss lake scenery, mountain views and easy access to Lucerne without staying right in the city. The wider Küssnacht district includes Küssnacht, Merlischachen and Immensee, with lakeside promenades, historic sites and views towards the “Queen of the Mountains”, Mount Rigi.
The main local venue is Golf Küssnacht am Rigi, an 18-hole course in a central Swiss location that works for both newer golfers and stronger players. It gives the destination a proper golf focus rather than simply being a scenic lakeside stop. Nearby, Golf Meggen is a lovely 9-hole option with views of Lake Lucerne, the Rigi and Pilatus mountains; the course also has practice facilities and a short course, making it useful for a lighter round or warm-up day.
For more variety, Lucerne Golf Club is within reach at Dietschiberg, offering a rolling parkland course with mountain views and a more traditional Swiss club feel. Golf around Küssnacht is best from April to October, with May to September giving the strongest mix of pleasant temperatures, long daylight and good course conditions.
Off the course, Küssnacht is perfect for slow lakeside days. The Seebodenalp cable car gives easy access towards Rigi scenery, while Lucerne is close enough for boat trips, Old Town wandering and lakeside dining. The area is also known for the Küssnachter Klausjagen, one of Europe’s most striking St Nicholas traditions.
For golfers seeking a calm Swiss base with lake views, mountain access and several nearby courses, Küssnacht am Rigi is a polished and very scenic Central Switzerland golf escape.
