... yes three stars are enough...
Reviewed September 22, 2021
... You don't have to add much to the rating of Peter CH, it fits.
The rustic vegetation and the soft ground do not give many free meters. The fairways were cut a bit high.
In winter, Nordic ski slopes sometimes lead across the square, which leave their mark for a long time.
Golf was played here almost a hundred years ago. The new 18 holes designed and built by Donald Harradine were opened in the mid-1960s. Kurt Rossknecht revised the system over 10 years ago.

You can, you don't have to
Reviewed September 19, 2021
The course is a bit nested but playable quite nicely - but it's not the great golf experience.
At 1600 m above sea level located, and the resulting shortened vegetation time, you have to be able to turn a blind eye when it comes to fairway and green conditions. the greenkeeper is definitely making an effort. Bunker sand was good, greens were okay, the layout was a bit squeezed into the houses and the green fee is not exactly cheap, unless you enjoy some (hotel) discounts.
By far the best is the 19th hole with excellent gastronomy.
Solid 3 stars.

Worth playing when the weather is nice
Reviewed September 7, 2020
The place is undervalued in the previous statements compared to other places in Graubünden.
Safely, Davos is a big city in the mountains and therefore you cannot expect a house-free view.
The scenery has a unique selling point and is still terrific in dream weather.
The maintenance condition was perfect, the greens good and fast, the tracks varied, partly. also tight. A friendly welcome, extremely punctual time management and good gastronomy - but at "Swiss" prices!

Almost 3 stars
Reviewed August 30, 2019
The course is average in terms of both design and care. Despite the existing shortcomings such as moderately maintained fairways and greens, one wishes that the place still has as long as possible, so that the Davoser not obstruct everything. Praiseworthy is the clubhouse with friendly welcome and excellent and affordable catering.
Conclusion: no recommendation who has to go there extra.

High altitude golf at 1600 meters
Reviewed December 13, 2017
Of course, it is difficult to keep the course in good condition due to the altitude and the associated weather.
This seemed pretty good in August 2017, when I played the course. However, I had expected more from a place in the mountains than so many fairways, which are located between hotel buildings and apartment blocks.
When the weather is nice, the view of the mountains is of course spectacular, but the place itself is average.

Varied
Reviewed August 8, 2017
The holes are varied, but partly very close together. The greens are in an excellent condition, which unfortunately can not be said of all fairways. A par they have quite a lot of brown spots on which no grass grows. This is probably due to the high altitude and the long winters.
The Drivingranche is very narrow, (nothing for longhitter with spread) the remaining exercise ground but supper.

Since vos is beautiful!
Reviewed August 6, 2016
The air is better, the balls flying at this altitude on, the sun shines stronger, the sky is blue, the welcome is warm and the hospitality warmer. Clear the wind blows along the Landwasser sometimes strong and sometimes it might still be a storm, but 19 holes in Davos where it is here just only beautiful, are an exclusive experience. Who judges the place of purely ambitious sporting perspective will certainly criticize some details - simply remember what a challenge it means a place on words 1600 masl to make them fit for a short season in the mountains - gauged the Golf Club Davos is an absolute hammer,

Average
Reviewed July 28, 2014
Beautiful paths, but in part to an intolerable state (especially the greens), due to the long and cold winter.
Visually, only the holes 15-18 are beautiful, they are in contrast to the other holes not imprison and close between residential blocks and streets.
The staff is usually very friendly and tried hard, even in the restaurant. The prices are typical Swiss / davoserisch exorbitant.
The kitchen is excellent and also outside of a round of golf worth a visit.
The company is fortunately not as arrogant and snobbish as before.
Something quite positive are the great tournaments / tournament series, which are always performed (eg 9 hole tournaments with eve dinner).
The main problem of the club but I see that you still "Exclusive Golf Club" is on the steamer, instead of realizing the Davos unfortunately not St. Moritz or whatever. The few tourists who would put this concept come anyway just in winter.
If one would go more in the direction of "Golf for everyone" get much better. Davos is simply just an average small town in the Alps, as well as the golf course. To the standards and the promise is that of the golf club, they can only fail.
If one were simply to stand there times that it is just a normal average golf course, it came to potential customers much better and would also ensure greater satisfaction.

Optical oh-la-la, la-la-so playful
Reviewed June 19, 2013
From a visual standpoint, the Mountain course, if you down-town Davos has not exactly in view, quite nice. The fairways meander through the narrow space between just existing residential, industrial and river. The greens are (shortly after season opening) the epitome of slowness and the spurt forth guidance absolutely unpredictable. The clubhouse is already a bit older, but nice to look at. Who dwells already in the area anyway, positively can venture onto the pitch. Too long journey, however, is not worth it in our opinion.

Rise to a new league - the heart of Davos Alpine Golf
Reviewed July 25, 2011
Since 2001, invested heavily in the square, many greens have been renewed, extended, increased markdowns and fairway bunkers adapted to new lengths - a pure Parkllandschaft at 1560 meters above sea level, located in the highest town in the Alps.
Since the golf course extension 2009/2010,8 golf courses were redesigned by golf course architect Kurt Rossknecht and even extended.
Thus, the golf Davos went to a new league and become the majority Flat terrain to a golf gem in the Alps.
