Golf Club Verbier
Verbier
Set high above the resort village of Verbier, Golf Club Verbier offers a proper alpine golf experience with dramatic mountain views and a very different feel from lower-level Swiss parkland courses. The club manages two 18-hole layouts: Les Esserts, the main course, and Les Moulins, a shorter pitch-and-putt course in the resort centre.
The main Les Esserts Course is an 18-hole, par-69 layout measuring around 4,867 metres. It starts at roughly 1,800 metres altitude and finishes around 1,600 metres, so elevation changes are a major part of the round. Designed by Donald Harradine and Nicolas Cordonier, the course is technical rather than long, with mountain slopes, streams, natural hazards and tactical shot choices shaping the experience.
What makes Verbier special is the setting. The course overlooks the surrounding valley, with views towards the Combins and Mont Blanc massifs. It is a scenic but thoughtful test where club selection, accuracy and patience matter more than power. The club shuttle takes golfers from the clubhouse to the first tee, which gives the round a slightly unusual mountain-golf feel from the start.
For Swiss golf holidays, Golf Club Verbier works perfectly alongside a luxury stay at W Verbier. It is ideal for travellers who want to combine golf with alpine views, spa time, hiking, biking, dining and the lively atmosphere of Verbier in summer.

About The Area
Verbier is one of Switzerland’s most famous Alpine resorts, best known for skiing, mountain views and a polished chalet-style atmosphere — but it also works beautifully as a summer golf base. Set in Valais at around 1,500 metres, the resort has big mountain scenery in every direction and a more energetic, outdoorsy feel than some quieter Swiss golf towns.
The main venue is Golf Club Verbier, which offers two courses: the 18-hole Les Esserts course and the 18-hole Les Moulins pitch & putt. Les Esserts is the main test, a par-69 Alpine course with dramatic views of the surrounding mountain massifs. It is not overly long, but it asks plenty of questions: elevation changes, sloping lies, tight landing areas and mountain air all make club selection more interesting than the scorecard suggests. Les Moulins, located in the centre of the resort, is a par-54 approach course that is ideal for short-game practice, families or a lighter round after travelling.
Golf in Verbier is seasonal, with the main summer window running from late spring through autumn. The official resort site lists golf among its summer activities, while Golf Club Verbier’s own course information highlights seasonal play around the warmer months.
Off the course, Verbier is made for active travellers. Hiking, mountain biking, panoramic lift rides and terrace lunches are all part of the summer experience. The wider Val de Bagnes is excellent for scenic walks, while Martigny and the Rhône Valley vineyards are easy day-trip options. Verbier is also known for the Verbier Festival, a major summer classical music event, adding a cultural angle to the mountain setting.
For golfers seeking Alpine scenery, fresh air and a stylish mountain-resort atmosphere, Verbier delivers a memorable Swiss golf escape with far more going on than just the round itself.
