5 days/ 4 nights/ 3 rounds of golf, from/to Geneva
Geneva - Chéserex -
Geneva
Day 1
Geneva.
Individual arrival in Geneva
You collect your rental
car and take your time to explore this cosmopolitan city where you find the
headquarters of the UNO and the IKRK (Red Cross). You spend two nights in the
metropolis of Western Switzerland on the shores of lake Geneva.
Day 2 Geneva
Have fun during your
first round of golf on the beautiful course of Geneva (18 hole, Par 72, length
6250 m), one of the top adresses for golf in Switzerland, situated high above
Lake Geneva. Enjoy the views over the historic old part of the city and the
Jet’Eau in the bay, an eye catching 140 meters jet of water and officially the
world’s biggest fountain. On this course your eyes and mind wander in
astonishment around every bend and corner. Although the sweeping greens, the
tricky spread out water obstacles and the tentacle-like laid out bunkers, which
seem to grasp each and every mishit ball, actually demand your upmost
concentration. The great design by Robert Trent Jones makes this course a
trademark among European playgrounds and offers the player pure pleasure. The
rest of this day you can spend as you please, there are great shopping
opportunities or memorable cruises on Lake Geneva.
Day 3
Geneva - Cheserex (30 kilometers / 20 miles)
Short drive through wonderful vineyards with great views of the Savoyan Alps
and Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe (4792 m above sea level). Enjoy a
round of golf on the „Schlossplatz“ („Castle Course“) of Bonmont (18 hole, Par
71, length 6080 m). A picture perfect course and contributing to its setting are
ancient trees, a quite undulating but never steep terrain and a historic
Zisterzienser Abbey that now functions as the club house. The intention was to
create the design around the existing geometry and the openness of the terrain,
which achieved brilliantly. This course also impresses with its fast new greens
and free, magnificient views towards the mountain range of Mont Blanc. You spend
the night in the charming village of Cheserex.
Day 4 Cheserex -
Geneva (30 kilometers / 20 miles)
Domaine Impérial is rated as one of the most prestigious courses in
Switzerland. It offers class, tradition and wonderful views (18 hole, Par 72,
length 6339 m). You drive past the villas of Michael Schumacher and Nigel
Manson, then reach probably the best course in Switzerland. It takes good
advantage of the last open undeveloped space close to the lake shore. Don’t let
yourself be distracted by the anticipated joy of the famous wines which grow
within eye sight, or by the marvellous views of the Jura and the French Alps.
Because this playground with an extension of more than 1 square kilometer,
styled in American design, plus its huge bunker areas and heaps of challenging
surprises is very demanding. Even long time club members dont’t regard this
parcours designed by the star architect Pete Dye as a „home game“. Also the club
house is awesome, originally built in 1860 by Prince Napoleon as the „Villa
Prangis“. Finish your short holiday in Western Switzerland with your stay
overnight in Geneva.
