Golf Kyburg
Zürich
Located around 20 minutes from Zurich, Golf Kyburg offers a polished and highly accessible Swiss golf experience in a peaceful countryside setting. The course sits on former horse meadows linked to the historic Kyburg estate, giving the venue a strong sense of local character while still feeling modern and well presented.
The 18-hole championship course is a par-71 layout designed by Kurt Rossknecht. It is surrounded by mature trees, streams and natural landscape features, creating a varied round where no two holes feel quite the same. The course is not just about length; it rewards accuracy, smart positioning and confident approach play into well-protected greens.
As part of the Leading Golf Courses of Switzerland network, Golf Kyburg is maintained to a high standard both on and off the fairways. Facilities include a first-class driving range, putting and pitching greens, golf academy, pro shop and the on-site La Gloria restaurant.
For golf holidays in the Zurich region, Golf Kyburg works very well as a premium city-access course. It is ideal for golfers staying in Zurich who want quality golf without a long transfer, and pairs nicely with Zurich lakeside hotels or wider Swiss touring itineraries.

About The Area
Zürich is one of Switzerland’s strongest city-based golf destinations, combining polished courses, lakeside scenery and one of Europe’s most liveable urban settings. It works especially well for golfers who want a refined short break: easy flights, quality hotels, smart restaurants and several courses within sensible driving distance. Switzerland Tourism notes that there are 12 golfing greens in and around Zürich, with landscapes ranging from hilly countryside and woods to lakes and rivers.
A standout option is Golf Kyburg, around 20 minutes from Zürich. It offers an 18-hole championship course and is part of the Leading Golf Courses of Switzerland network, so it has a more premium, well-kept feel. For lake views, Golfpark Zürichsee near Upper Lake Zürich is a strong choice, with gently rolling fairways and views towards the Glarus mountains, the Linth Plateau and Rapperswil. Closer to the city, Dolder Golfclub Zürich provides a historic 9-hole option in an elevated setting above Zürich, useful for a lighter round or arrival-day golf.
Golf around Zürich is generally best from April to October, with May to September offering the most reliable mix of comfortable temperatures, longer daylight and good course conditions.
Off the course, Zürich is ideal for a cultured golf break. The Old Town, Lake Zürich, riverside dining and smart shopping areas make evenings easy to fill, while boat trips, nearby vineyards and day trips to Lucerne or Rapperswil add variety. For golfers seeking Swiss precision, tidy courses, lake views and a proper city-break feel, Zürich is one of Switzerland’s most convenient and polished golf bases.
