Audio Guide of Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club

The club generally operates its golf season from May to October, opening daily from 7:30 a.m. until sunset, although in winter the grounds are transformed into cross-country ski trails. To book your tee time and confirm the exact seasonal opening dates, I recommend visiting the official website.

Rates vary depending on the season and the course selected (Severiano Ballesteros or Jack Nicklaus), generally ranging from 80 to 180 CHF for visitors. Booking in advance is essential, especially in July and August; you can check updated rates and book directly in the reservation section.

For the iconic 18-hole course (Severiano Ballesteros), the estimated playing time is about 4 to 4.5 hours. If you choose the 9-hole course (Jack Nicklaus), you can complete the round in approximately 2 hours, perfect if you have a tight schedule.

It is world-famous for being the annual host of the Omega European Masters, one of Europe’s most prestigious tournaments, held here since 1939. Playing here means walking on the same grass where legends such as Seve Ballesteros and Sergio García made history.

The best time is from June to September, when the Alpine weather is ideal and the turf conditions are impeccable. If you want to experience the atmosphere of the professional tournament, plan your visit for early September, to coincide with the Omega European Masters.

Yes, the clubhouse and restaurants such as the Sporting are accessible, and golf buggies are available for hire to make getting around the course easier. It is recommended to contact reception in advance to ensure the availability of any specific services you may need.

You are in the heart of Crans-Montana, so you can enjoy luxury shopping in the village or go hiking around mountain lakes such as Etang Long. You can also take the opportunity to learn more about the region with a tourist audio guide while strolling through the surroundings.

Keep in mind that you are at 1,500 meters of altitude, so the ball flies about 10% farther than at sea level; adjust your club selection accordingly. Also, bring your camera, because the views of the Weisshorn and Mont Blanc from the 7th hole are simply spectacular.
