Golf in Annecy Mountains

Wednesday, Oct 08, 2024 0

Mention Lake Annecy and people picture turquoise lakes, the cobbled old town and the surrounding Aravis mountains. BUT this area, Annecy Mountains also has a great offering for golfers to combine a sports break with some foodie hot spots to savor the local reblochon cheese and to enjoy a game of golf within the incredible surrounding lakes and mountains backdrop. Here are a few of the best golf courses and options around the region:

In Le Grand Bornand

Golf Le Rocher Blanc

Located in the Bouchet alley in Le Grand-Bornand, Le Rocher Blanc golf course is a relatively technical course at the foot of the Aravis mountain range, offering a magnificent view of its highest point: the pointe Percée. Founded in 1987 and now offering pitch and put 9 holes and a nine-hole course, the gold course is welcoming and open every day from the beginning of May to the end of October with local restaurants and terrace alongside. Stay the night at 3* Les Fermes de Pierre & Anna, over 300 years old and on the edge of the golf course.
