3 GOOD REASONS TO PLAY MOUNTAIN GOLF COURSES

28th May 2024 2613

Did you know? Courchevel, Les Arcs, Tignes, Avoriaz... are not just ski resorts!

After the ski season, once the hats and scarves have been put away in the cupboard, spring arrives in the mountains, bringing with it the warmth of the sun. As the snow melts, the greens appear, waiting to be played! Mountain golf courses offer a unique playing experience: altitude, panoramas, courses... there's so much to discover! In this article, we give you three good reasons to enjoy these courses in the heart of the mountains...


1. Magnificent panoramas

Mountain golf courses are located in breathtaking natural settings, surrounded by majestic peaks, lush forests and valleys that stretch as far as the eye can see. Playing in such an environment is a real opportunity. Here, not only do you get to walk the greens in unspoilt natural surroundings, but you're also completely cut off from the world!
Each hole offers a different view, from vast expanses of green to snow-capped peaks. These incredible panoramas add a visual dimension to the game, making every shot even more memorable.

Close to your golf course, you'll find accommodation tailored to your needs and desires so you can make the most of this mountain golfing experience: sunset behind the peaks, the whistle of the marmots, gourmet cuisine...


2. A new sporting challenge

Mountain golf courses present unique challenges that can enrich your game and improve your skills! With their varied topography, these greens require players to have a certain ability to adapt! But wouldn't that also be a great way to progress?

The variations in topography demand great precision and a well thought-out game strategy. Each shot has to be carefully thought out, taking into account the slope of the terrain, which pushes golfers to improve their technique and precision. Approaches are also more complex: greens located high or low increase the difficulty of approach shots. The altitude and gradient of the courses influence the trajectory and distance of the balls, adding an extra strategic dimension.

A challenge? Yes, but for everyone! Whatever your level, at Golfy you'll find the perfect golf course for you!


3. A regenerative experience

If your game is destined to improve on these high-altitude golf courses, you can be sure that your health will too! Away from the city, you'll find a real sense of tranquillity in these stretches of greenery, where stress is replaced by fresh air.
Give your mind a real break and concentrate solely on your game, and when you look up, savour the moment in front of the mountains (a tried and tested method for being happy!).
Improving your game AND your physical condition is the perfect combo for any golfer looking to progress. It's a well-known fact that altitude stimulates the production of red blood cells, which results in better oxygenation of the muscles and organs and therefore improved performance. After a stay on a mountain golf course, you'll be your best version of a golfer!


Mountain golf courses offer an incomparable playing experience, combining sporting challenges and health benefits in spectacular natural settings. Whether you're looking for new perspectives, stimulating challenges or simply a moment of relaxation in the heart of nature, mountain courses are a destination of choice for any golfer. So don't hesitate, and come and discover the joys of golf at altitude with the Network's golf courses!
