Switzerland's oldest golf club, Engadine Golf Club, celebrated its 2018th anniversary in 125 with many commemorative golf events. Founded in 1893, it has a fascinating story to tell, but also a present and a future full of great prospects. The golf club houses two distinct and very different golf courses, one kilometer apart and managed by a single organization, Golf Engadin St. Moritz. Two different souls, two great game opportunities. The first is open and flat, with surprising water and the wind that rises at noon from Maloja; a continuous ups and downs in Zuoz between woods and huts. And then a separate chapter, the nine holes (par 27) of the Kulm Hotel, a jewel in the heart of St. Moritz, with large and spectacular views of the lake.
The Samedan route takes place in an ancient connecting park that runs along the flat valley floor, winding between streams and is characterized by wide fairways flanked by gigantic larches, to which on the occasion of the 125th anniversary, they were flanked, on the basis of an interesting sustainability project, hundreds of new plants. The Zuoz-Madulain course, inaugurated in 2003, offers difficult gradients, undulating fairways bordered by wildflowers and receptive greens that intertwine along the mountainside and among the pine forests. Both located in one of the country's highest ski areas, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Samedan and Zuoz offer breathtaking views of the towering Alpine mountains and many charming villages in the Engadine valley.
The Engadin Golf Center stands for high and up-to-date training skills, as well as modern teaching technologies, able to meet the individual training needs of beginners as well as the most demanding golfers. Engadin Golf Center professionals use the most modern technologies. The Bodmer Performance Center offers a world-class center of expertise for the entire swing analysis area. In fact, cutting-edge technology has become irreplaceable even in golf lessons, to analyze and correct rotation speeds, launch angles, smash factors, etc. Basically it is always about how you hit the ball, both with the driver and the putter, and all of this is clearly visible thanks to the use of high-tech equipment.
Samedan and Zuoz-Madulain golf courses are maintained and maintained by a team of greenkeepers early in the morning and seven days a week to ensure optimal playing conditions. Greenkeepers always try to do their job without causing noise and disturbing the game. Since greenkeeping is very dependent on weather and weather conditions, the cooperation of players is also of great importance, as they should put the holes back and repair the marks on the pitch. This little support from all players is essential for the best maintenance of golf courses.
