❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What time does Engadine Golf Club Samedan open and close? I’d like to go for a walk and enjoy the scenery—is that possible without playing golf?

Engadine Golf Club Samedan is open roughly from May to October, although I recommend checking its official website for exact seasonal opening hours, as they may vary. Although it is a golf course, it is possible to walk around the surrounding area and enjoy the mountain scenery, especially along the public path that runs around it. To visit the club’s specific facilities, I suggest contacting them directly at +41 81 851 04 66 to confirm their access policy for non-golfers.

I’m planning a visit to Engadine Golf Club Samedan. Do I have to pay to enter, or is there any fee to see the place even if I’m not going to play golf?

Access to the surrounding area and the paths around the golf course is generally free, allowing you to enjoy the views at no cost. However, if you wish to access the club facilities, use the driving range, or other services, the corresponding fees will apply. I encourage you to check their website in the 'Green Fees' section for detailed information.

How much time should I set aside to visit Engadine Golf Club Samedan? I’m not a golfer; I just want to enjoy the surroundings.

If you’re not going to play golf and only want to walk around and enjoy the scenery, I’d recommend allowing 1 to 2 hours. That will give you enough time to explore some of the public paths along the course, take photos, and soak up the serenity of the alpine setting. If you decide to have something at the club restaurant, you could extend your visit to 2 to 3 hours.

I’d like to know whether Engadine Golf Club Samedan has any interesting history or cultural significance beyond being a golf course.

Absolutely. Engadine Golf Club is one of the oldest golf courses in Switzerland, founded in 1893, which gives it considerable historical importance in the development of golf in the region. Its location in the heart of the Engadin also links it closely to the alpine tourism tradition, serving as a meeting point for visitors and locals who appreciate sport and nature. More details can be found in the 'History' section of its website.

What is the best time of year or the best time of day to visit Engadine Golf Club Samedan if I’m looking for the best views and fewer people?

The best time to visit is from late spring (June) to early autumn (September), when the mountains are green, flowers are blooming, and the weather is ideal. To avoid crowds and enjoy the calmest atmosphere and the best light for photos, I suggest going early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Weekdays are usually quieter than weekends.

My grandmother is coming with me and has some difficulty walking. Is Engadine Golf Club Samedan accessible for people with reduced mobility or wheelchair users?

The club’s main facilities, such as the clubhouse and restaurant, are usually accessible. However, the golf course itself, with its uneven terrain and distances, may be challenging for people with very limited mobility without assistance. For walks around the area, caution is recommended and, if possible, you should ask the club staff at +41 81 851 04 66 for specific information about accessible routes and any available assistance.

Besides Engadine Golf Club Samedan, what other interesting tourist attractions are near Samedan and worth visiting?

Samedan and its surroundings are full of wonders. Very close by is the famous town of St. Moritz, with its lakes, luxury shops, and activities. You can also visit Muottas Muragl for spectacular panoramic views of the valley, accessible by funicular, or take the Bernina Express panoramic train. In addition, there are many hiking and cycling routes to enjoy the stunning alpine landscape.

I want to make the most of my visit to Engadine Golf Club Samedan. Do you have any practical tips?

Of course. I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, even if you’re only strolling around the surroundings, and don’t forget your camera to capture the landscapes. If you’re interested in golf, consider booking a beginner’s lesson—you never know when a new passion might begin. Finally, always check the weather forecast before you go, as mountain weather can be unpredictable, and look at the club’s official website for any notices or special events.
