Course Report
Evian Resort Golf Club is one of only five venues worldwide to host a women's major championship, cementing its status as a pinnacle in world golf.
About
Evian Resort Golf Club, established in 1904 on the shores of Lake Geneva, is a historic and prestigious championship course designed for international play. Set in parkland among the French Alps with stunning lake views, the 18-hole, par-72 layout hosts The Amundi Evian Championship, an LPGA major, and blends challenging play with Alpine beauty.
Caddie Tip
Carefully assess every putt, as greens have subtle but consistent slopes influenced by the proximity to Lake Geneva. Favor conservative play on challenging holes, particularly the finishing stretch, and pay attention to shifting winds off the lake, which can make club selection unpredictable on elevated tees.
The Main Challenge
The toughest challenge at Evian Resort Golf Club lies in navigating elevation changes, narrow drives framed by mature trees, and undulating greens that demand careful approach play and precision putting. The back nine features several risk-reward holes culminating in a pressure-filled finish where water hazards and sloping greens test players' composure.
The Good
Golfers most love the breathtaking panoramas of Lake Geneva and the Alps from nearly every hole, especially the dramatic closing sequence. The experience of playing a major championship course in pristine parkland surroundings, with luxury resort amenities and attentive service, creates memories that last beyond the round.
The Not So Good
Some golfers note that during tournament-prep periods or after heavy play, certain fairways and approaches can show wear. Others have commented that the course's variable elevation changes can make walking strenuous for some, and pace of play can slow during peak and championship season.
Signature Hole:

18
