Avenue du Golf
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
Golf Club d'Aix-les-Bains Riviera des Alpes is an 18-hole championship course established in 1895, making it one of only 55 international golf courses created that same year. Located in the French Alps region near Lake Bourget, approximately one hour from Geneva and Lyon, the course sits at 240 meters altitude between France's largest natural lake and alpine peaks.
The course measures 5,431 meters with a par of 70, featuring an English design on relatively gentle rolling terrain. Despite its modest length, it demands precision and strategic play. The layout incorporates natural water features, including the Tillet stream, multiple water hazards, and natural obstacles that challenge golfers of all levels.
The course remains open year-round, seven days a week, benefiting from a temperate climate. The club is the oldest and most established in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, offering comprehensive luxury facilities including a recently renovated clubhouse, pro shop, equipment rental, electric trolleys, and an academy for junior and advanced golfers. The on-site restaurant showcases regional Savoyard cuisine with views overlooking the course.
