Opened in 2006, the Evian Resort Golf Club Academy asserts itself each year a little more as the benchmark for training, development and game centers in France and Europe.
The beginnings of the Academy
Imagined, designed and built by a team of specialists (architects, players, champions and pros) in the early 2000s, the primary purpose of this 15-hectare complex was to make playing golf easy, pleasant and accessible for everyone, all in a real setting of beauty and nature.
Its plunging views of Lake Geneva, its prestigious Manor and the quality of its training modules have quickly enabled this place to become a leading destination for fans of the little white ball.
It is a unique place, which allows all golfers, of all levels, to practice in the best conditions and all aspects of the game.
Matthieu Camison, General Manager of Evian Resort Golf Club
Avant-garde and always in search of improvement, like The Amundi Evian Championship Tournament hosted by the Evian Resort Golf Club, the Academy has never stopped enriching its offer, improving the experience of its visitors and to strengthen its unique positioning.
The services of the Evian Resort Golf Club Academy
6 training modules, 1 huge putting green overlooking Lake Geneva, David Leadbetter certified teaching, a Manor offering accommodation and soon snacking services, and finally 1 6-hole course named The Lake Course, the Evian Resort Golf Club Academy condenses absolutely everything to delight even the most demanding.
“There is everything golfers dream of at the Academy” says Matthieu Camison, General Manager of the Evian Resort Golf Club. “It’s a unique place, which allows all golfers, of all levels, to practice in the best conditions and all aspects of the game. Official training center for the best players on the planet during the Major The Amundi Evian Championship, the Academy has no choice but to always offer the best”
TrackMan Range allows everyone to play or train in a fun way, including beginners!
The novelty in 2022
In addition to the existing infrastructure, since the start of the 2022 season, part of the Academy practice has been equipped with TrackMan Range. Thanks to this state-of-the-art and almost exclusive device in Europe, it is now possible for everyone to train like a pro, benefiting from numerous statistics directly displayed on their smartphone or on one of the many screens installed during the winter.
“It’s one more step towards the excellence to which we aspire every day” says Matthieu Camison. “We know that golfers of all levels are fond of this kind of service; and, in our logic of offering the best, we wanted to be among the first golf courses in Europe to offer this service! TrackMan Range allows everyone to play or train in a fun way, including beginners! More experienced players, on the other hand, will appreciate the advanced data (distance, shot angle, precision, etc.) or the possibility of simulating a game on some of the most beautiful courses in the world!”
One thing is certain, the Academy intends to remain for a long time a paradise for all those who wish to take pleasure in playing and walking in the footsteps of the biggest names in the history of world golf.
