Golf Gerre Losone
Ticino
Set in Losone near Ascona and Locarno, Golf Gerre Losone offers a refined Swiss-Italian golf experience in one of Switzerland’s most scenic southern regions. Surrounded by Ticino’s mountains, rivers and mild Mediterranean-style climate, the course has a calm, polished feel that works beautifully for a Lake Maggiore or Lugano golf itinerary.
The 18-hole course is a par-72 layout, offering a balanced test for a wide range of golfers. Fairways are generally generous but shaped by bunkers, trees and natural features, while the greens reward accurate approach play and good touch around the putting surfaces. It is not an overpowering course, but it asks for steady course management and smart positioning throughout the round.
Facilities include a driving range, golf school, club rental, buggy rental, restaurant and clubhouse, making it practical for visiting golfers as well as local members. Its location close to Ascona also makes it easy to combine golf with lakeside dining, spa hotels, mountain excursions and relaxed Swiss-Italian culture.
For golf holidays in Ticino, Golf Gerre Losone is a strong option for those wanting scenic surroundings, good facilities and a quieter alternative to busier city-based courses.

About The Area
Ticino is Switzerland with a proper Mediterranean twist — lakes, palms, piazzas, mountain views and Italian-speaking charm all rolled into one. Sitting south of the Alps and bordering Italy, it feels warmer and softer than many Swiss golf regions, making it a brilliant choice for golfers who want Swiss course quality with a more relaxed, lakeside atmosphere.
The region has three main 18-hole golf clubs: Golf Club Lugano, Golf Club Patriziale Ascona and Golf Gerre Losone. Ticino Tourism describes all three as technical, well-maintained courses, helped by the region’s mild, sunny climate, while Switzerland Tourism also highlights Ticino’s lakes, mountains, palms and Mediterranean-like climate as key reasons it works so well for golf.
Golf Club Lugano, near Magliaso, is a compact but demanding course where water, mature trees and narrow fairways place a premium on accuracy. Around Lake Maggiore, Golf Club Patriziale Ascona offers one of Switzerland’s most attractive and traditional layouts, with a flat but technical design framed by mature trees. Golf Gerre Losone adds further variety, with strong practice facilities, a driving range, putting greens and academy options, making it useful for both serious golfers and those looking to sharpen up between rounds.
Golf in Ticino is best from April to October, although the milder climate means courses can often remain playable beyond the usual Swiss season.
Off the course, Ticino is made for slow, stylish travel. Lugano offers lakefront dining and mountain viewpoints, Ascona brings colourful lakeside charm, and Locarno adds piazzas, festivals and Lake Maggiore scenery. Bellinzona’s castles, boat trips, valley drives and Italian-influenced food all add to the appeal.
For golfers seeking polished Swiss courses, warmer weather, lake views and a relaxed southern atmosphere, Ticino delivers one of Switzerland’s most enjoyable and distinctive golf escapes.
