The Golf Club du Domaine Impérial's unique geographical location on the shores of Lake Geneva, halfway between Lausanne and Geneva, the supreme quality of its surroundings and facilities, a course designed by Pete Dye, and a Club House where the long passage of Napoleon's family has left an indelible mark, are just some of the elements that contribute to the great accolades this splendid golf course has received over the years.
La Réserve Genève – Hotel, Spa and Villa It's an extraordinary retreat where you can enjoy the rare privilege of experiencing unforgettable moments, each at your own pace, according to your individual desires. Between the lake and the mountains, nothing matters except the pleasure of simply living life to the fullest, without having to organize or plan anything, because everything is already within reach: three restaurants, the Nescens Spa, indoor and outdoor pools, a Kids' Club, sports facilities, and a range of à la carte activities.
This golf club, one of the most prestigious in Switzerland, is a place where passion for golf, conviviality, and the creation of precious memories come together. The pursuit of excellence extends far beyond the greens. The restaurant offers high-quality cuisine, ideal for celebrating sporting achievements or sharing a meal with friends. Furthermore, the terrace offers an unforgettable experience overlooking Lake Geneva.
The first nine holes wind through an ancient forest, where the Promenthouse, one of the lake's main waterways, offers a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna as well as a challenge for players. The nine return holes are more open but equally challenging due to the strategic bunker placement and the historic Toblerone Trail.
"This is the first time in this part of the world that I've had the opportunity to create such a unique course," said Pete Dye, the great architect, undoubtedly one of the world's most esteemed. At Domaine Impérial, he gave free rein to his imagination, respecting the natural design and undulations of the terrain, while adhering to the great principles of Scottish golf (length 6009 meters, altitude 370 meters above sea level, par 72).
The Club House was inaugurated in 1987 after a complete 10-month restoration. Twenty years later, an interior renovation was undertaken by architect Jean Grange, whose vision was to bring nature inside the "house." Together with interior designer Luc Lagier, he also chose to emphasize the evocation of Villa Prangins's historic past. Today, the image of Empress Zita of Habsburg presides over the fate of the lounge area, while sugar industry pioneer Louis Say lends his name to the brasserie, with its terrace and comfortable event space. Upstairs, the conference room and bridge room perpetuate the memory of Emperor Charles I of Austria and Baron Guiger de Prangins. Thus, the Club House's past is closely intertwined with the present, and guests can enjoy prestigious spaces steeped in history, beautifully furnished, and with a style that Prince Napoleon would certainly not have rejected.
