Golf Club Montreux
Montreux
Located in Aigle, just a short drive from Montreux and Lake Geneva, Golf Club Montreux offers a classic Swiss parkland experience framed by the Vaudois Alps. Founded in 1900, it is one of Switzerland’s historic golf clubs and remains a highly enjoyable course for visitors looking to combine golf with the Swiss Riviera.
The 18-hole, par-72 course measures just over 6,100 metres from the back tees and was redesigned over time, with Ronald Fream involved in a major renovation. The layout is relatively flat and walkable, with tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering and mountain views towards the Dents du Midi and surrounding peaks.
It is not the most dramatic alpine course in Switzerland, but that is part of its appeal. Golf Club Montreux offers a fair, well-balanced test where accuracy and steady course management matter more than power. The course is open to visitors with the correct golf credentials, and facilities include practice areas, a pro shop, clubhouse and restaurant.
For golf holidays around Montreux, Lausanne or Lake Geneva, it is a very practical and scenic option, pairing well with luxury lakeside hotels such as Royal Plaza Montreux and wider Swiss Riviera touring itineraries.

About The Area
Lake Geneva is one of Switzerland’s most elegant golf settings, combining polished courses, vineyard terraces, lakeside towns and Alpine views. It suits golfers who want a refined European break rather than a pure resort holiday, with Geneva, Lausanne, Vevey and Montreux all offering strong bases around the shoreline.
The golf here is varied, with courses spread between the lake, countryside and surrounding hills. Switzerland Tourism describes the Lake Geneva region as offering golf in the mountains, by the lake and in the countryside, with each club giving different views and playing styles. One of the leading venues is Golf Club de Genève, an 18-hole championship course in Vandoeuvres. The club says the course was originally built in 1973 by Robert Trent Jones Senior and renovated between 2016 and 2018 to a Robert Trent Jones Junior plan. It sits above the city with views towards Lake Geneva, the Alps and Mont Blanc, giving it real big-occasion appeal.
Further along the lake, Golf de Lavaux is another excellent option, set between Lausanne and Montreux close to the Lavaux vineyards. The course was designed by Peter Harradine and opened in 1999, with an 18-hole layout that suits a range of golfers while still offering plenty of strategy. The setting is a major part of the appeal, with views over Lake Geneva, the vineyards and the Alps.
Golf around Lake Geneva is best from April to October, especially May to September when temperatures are comfortable and the days are longer. Off the course, this is a brilliant region for boat trips, lakeside restaurants, wine tasting in Lavaux, historic towns and day trips between Geneva, Lausanne and Montreux.
For golfers seeking Swiss-quality courses, lake views, culture and wine-country charm, Lake Geneva delivers one of Switzerland’s most stylish and well-rounded golf escapes.
