Golfing with a dog and a beautiful panorama

Great space, needs stamina, but it's worth it.

Very nice golf course, impressive mountain scenery, infrastructure is great, dealing with guest customers is not necessarily contemporary, rather small-minded...

Grandiose...
Reviewed August 28, 2020
... the alpine panorama that this 18-hole course serves us, as well as the highest tee in Switzerland - including Europe - at over 1900 meters above sea level - hole 5 par 3 - a pasture gate must be opened for this. This would deserve five stars.
We drove the many bends up to the golf course - wanted to escape the summer heat in the Rhine Valley for a few hours - turned the steering wheel almost non-stop. The distance from Chur is not great - 30 km - but the difference in altitude - 1300 meters - and the driving speed count twice.
It is an old 9-hole course - which was opened in 1947 and at that time was mainly played on the floor of the cow pastures - expanded to 18 holes a few years ago. The old 9 holes have recently been renovated and modeled to be more playable, including their greens.
As usual for alpine courses, there are not many long par 4s - the average length of the holes is less than 250 meters - there are no par 5s. However, you usually have to play the distances, because the rustic vegetation of the ground as well as the terrain give only a few free meters. Bunkers are absolutely in short supply - there is only one green bunker - are not necessary to defend them. The miniature size itself makes for a good defense - the smallest greens we've ever played. The tea boxes have also grown below average. On the first nine you can use the driver a couple of times - there is usually enough space - but this is not mandatory, a small piece of wood or even a long iron is usually sufficient. On the second nine it is sometimes tight - originally the first nine holes - the firs or larches are very close.
The layout is okay, the maintenance surprised us - very good. You have to take into account that the one with the rustic vegetation is different than with places in the valley - not to be compared.
The altitude ensures that the circulation stays in motion, it is possible to do sports.
It was great fun, even though a couple of balls shouted "Bye".
Nice modern smaller clubhouse with very nice staff.

Entertaining change
Reviewed July 25, 2018
Golf is a real sport here. And partly a climbing party. If you stay too short on hole 2, you are in the steep slope (and really REALLY steep). Who conditionally "weakens" comes in hole 4 bad breath. And who does not know how to handle (extreme!) Inclines, hole 18 will not like it at all. In short: There is hardly a "normal" hole on the whole 18 hole.
Conclusion Part 1: In the mountains, the golf courses are just different.
But there is also the other side: A fantastic mountain panorama, pleasant temperatures in midsummer, a great change to the usual lowland golf, it just does not blow up here (brains asked). Who has his iron under control and a good day wipes, here can have fun!
Conclusion Part 2: A great, entertaining change.
If you like a special golf challenge: Off to Arosa. Those who like it rather cozy, will have little pleasure at this place.

Golfing at 1900 m
Reviewed June 10, 2018
Impressive golf experience with a breathtaking mountain panorama. The short, varied course demands a lot of precision. The greens at this altitude are fast. The whole area is well maintained. The staff from the golf course as well as the golf restaurant are very friendly and helpful. A golf course that you must have played.

Well

Arosa has sooo much to do with a golf club. It may well be that you step on the fairway on a cow patty. Short steep holes. Not for everyone.

Reviewed October 31, 2013
This golf course is a challenge.
, There is always an angle, almost always plays high. Deal with the e-card is also tückig, the part is already times faster than you do It was a beautiful and exhausting experience.
In winter, the golf course is indeed a beautiful trail.

Great Alps
Reviewed July 25, 2013
I was very excited to the highest 18-hole golf course in Europe and was not disappointed. However, you have to know what you're getting yourself!
You can not compare with a place on the valley about 1900 meters altitude. The "fairways" are different from the mountain meadows only in that they are mowed, but this is not a problem, they can play as the usual grass under the ball The place is very short (Men's 4236 m Women's 3517 m) has its pitfalls, however, in the many steep ascents and descents, and sometimes the tracks are very very narrow and unforgiving Steuung! Some tracks resemble moguls and it is rarely straight. Some are as short par 3 that I played voluntarily by the men's tee, since I have no practice in cut off with the sand wedge. The greens are small and fast, and require a sensitive approach.
Carts are not even my e-trolley pushed to its limits. My tip: uselessness clutter and some clubs out of the bag and wear!
