The golf courses of Lake Annecy

Annecy offers a privileged living environment, renowned for its wealth of outdoor activities and the quality of its natural surroundings. Nestled between lake and mountains, the city charms visitors with its dynamism and elegance. Among the popular leisure activities, golf occupies a special place, with two remarkable courses located on the shores of the lake, attracting a clientele that appreciates the quality of the facilities and the beauty of the landscape.

On the eastern shore, the Golf du Lac d'Annecy, located in Talloires, has been part of the Roc de Chère nature reserve since 1953, combining technical skill with immersion in a preserved environment. This 18-hole course stands out for its tree-lined fairways, elevated tees and spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains, including the Dents de Lanfon and La Tournette. The club also offers an 8-bay driving range, 4 of which are covered, a putting green and an approach area. The Mulligan restaurant invites you to prolong the experience with a menu inspired by seasonal produce, served on a panoramic terrace facing the peaks.

On the western shore, in Giez, the Golf des Alpes offers two complementary courses: Le Belvédère, an 18-hole course, and Les Castors, a 9-hole course. Nestled in a natural environment covering 75 hectares, the site offers remarkable views of Les Bauges, Mont Charvin and, in places, Lake Annecy. Equipped with a Toptracer on the driving range to analyse each shot, the golf club also organises competitions, courses and discovery days. The Resto des Alpes, located in the clubhouse, offers generous, locally sourced cuisine and a large terrace overlooking the fairways.

These two golf courses perfectly embody the spirit of the region: a subtle blend of respect for nature, sporting excellence and art de vivre. Highly sought-after, these sites enhance the appeal of the surrounding areas for luxury real estate, particularly for buyers looking for tranquillity, open views or direct access to outdoor activities.

It is in this privileged setting that Annecy Sotheby's International Realty, a specialist in high-end real estate in the Annecy basin and the Aravis mountains, assists its clients in their search for exceptional properties, often located near golf courses or in the most sought-after areas around the lake.
