Crans-Sur-Sierre golf course (at 15km from Sierre) - Valais |
|
| The finest golf course in the Alps and in the Valais!
Indeed, the « Severiano Ballesteros » course (formerly known as Plan-Bramois) matches the splendour of the over 4000-metre peaks facing it and it fully complies with the requirements of all golfers. The 9-hole « Jack Nicklaus » course also enables every player to meet unforgettable challenges in a natural environment. For beginners (those without a handicap), there are the « Super-Crans » and « Noas » courses.
Professionals taking part each year in the Omega European Masters – the most prestigious golf tournament of this continent after the British Open – never tire of praising the course that has been redesigned by Severiano Ballesteros, Europe’s best player in the 20th century. Greg Normann wrote in one of his messages: « This is by far the most spectacular tournament site in the world. »
This is really a golfer’s paradise, from May to October, in quite fantastic surroundings. |
