Origins

Golf Club Aaretal's documented organisational history reaches at least to January 2004, when it became a full member of the Swiss golf association. The course at Kiesen was designed by John Stainer Chilver and developed around a compact nine-hole format suited to shorter rounds.

Design Philosophy

The official club description emphasises a varied layout despite its relatively short overall distance. Chilver used large tiered greens to place greater importance on accurate approach play and putting. The flat Aare Valley site also provides views toward the Emmental and Bernese Alps.

Development

The club has grown since gaining full association membership in 2004, developing active men's, women's, senior and junior sections and entering teams in Swiss Interclub competition.

Today

Aaretal operates as a public-access nine-hole, par-31 facility with recognised handicap ratings, online tee-time booking, a driving range, putting and pitching greens, a short-game facility and restaurant.
