It is renowned for its rich history in the watchmaking industry, being the headquarters of the prestigious watchmaker Audemars Piguet. Despite its small size, Le Brassus plays a significant role in the global luxury watch market, attracting visitors and watch enthusiasts from around the world.
The village is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, including forests and lakes, making it a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking and skiing, and of course, golf, given the large number of courses concentrated in the Canton of Vaud, all highly challenging from a competitive standpoint and equipped with excellent facilities.
Il Golf & Country Club de Bonmont It is located about a 30-minute drive from La Brusses, separated by a route characterized by rolling hills and Alpine panoramas, passing through coniferous forests and green meadows. Opened in 1983, the Bonmont Club offers an 18-hole golf course overlooking Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, in a 62-hectare park surrounded by ancient trees. Guests with a maximum handicap of 36.0 and members of another Federation-recognized golf club are welcome to play the course. Golf lessons with professional instructors are also available.
Swiss architect Don Harradine designed the golf course in 1980. Bonmont was completely renovated at the beginning of the 21st century. Peter Harradine redesigned his father's work, adding new features to the splendid course. It has a par of 71 and is 6.080 meters long. The advantage of the course is that the soil on which it was built is highly permeable, due to a landslide of pebbles from the Jura Mountains that occurred in ancient times. Water penetrates the ground very well, making it playable in all seasons.

Practice areas include a putting green, a chipping green, and a training bunker. Trackman technology allows you to analyze your shot data and improve your technique.
