Summer in Davos
Golf
Davos is a paradise for those who love the challenge of a round of golf on alpine fairways. Six magnificent courses are within an hour’s drive. And Davos itself boasts a first-class 18 hole golf course.
Golf Club Davos
Davos’ 18 hole golf course is nestling on a plateau at a height of 1560m surrounded by a magnificent mountain panorama. The course is easy under foot but by no means easy to play. A varied and demanding game is guaranteed depending on the changing weather conditions in the mountains. Less demanding holes take it in turn with trickier ones. Our hotel guests enjoy a green fee reduction.(www.golfdavos.ch)
Course: 18 holes, Par 68, varied course with some gradients
