Origins

Golf Source du Rhône is recorded by the former Swiss golf association directory as opening in 1999 at Obergesteln. The course sits in the upper Rhône valley at approximately 1,350 metres elevation.

Did You Know?
The White tees total more than six kilometres when the nine holes are played twice.

Design Philosophy

The routing uses the valley's natural waterways and terrain rather than relying only on manufactured hazards. The club identifies the Rhône, biotopes, streams, bunkers and contoured greens as recurring strategic elements.
