Golf in Zermatt: Your Green Fee, Courtesy of Mama
Golfing in Zermatt means teeing off at 1,420 metres above sea level, with 29 four-thousand-metre peaks in view, on a round you don't pay for. Every guest staying at Mama plays at Golf Club Matterhorn in Randa with their green fee covered. No surcharge, no haggling at the counter, just grab your clubs and go.
Mama loves golf just as much as you do: the perfect mix of sporting action and alpine lifestyle. Whether you're chasing a lower handicap or picking up a club for the very first time, at Mama you get both, your game and your holiday, in one.
The Mama Advantage: Your Green Fee Is On Us
Mama loves spoiling her guests, and when it comes to golf, she goes the extra mile. Hotel ZERMAMA is an official partner hotel of Golf Club Matterhorn. In practical terms: every guest staying at Mama gets their green fee covered, once per stay, per person. While other guests are still reaching for their wallets at the counter, you're already on the first tee.
Here's how it works:
- Book your room at Mama.
- Mama helps you reserve your tee time at Golf Club Matterhorn.
- Check in at the clubhouse in Randa, your green fee is already sorted.
- Need clubs, a trolley or a cart? Everything's available to rent on site.
The only requirement: a valid golf licence (handicap or course qualification certificate), which the club requires from every player.
The Course: Your Stage for the Perfect Round
Just around 20 minutes from Zermatt, between Täsch and Randa, you'll find Golf Club Matterhorn. Founded in 1990 by golf pioneers from Zermatt, the course grew into a 9-hole layout in Randa in the early 2000s and was expanded into today's modern 9-hole-plus course in 2016/2017. You'll play at 1,420 metres above sea level, surrounded by one of Europe's most spectacular golf backdrops.
The facts about the course:
9-hole-plus concept: 9 greens but 18 tees, giving you two different rounds on the same course, for a full 18-hole experience.
Par 72, designed by Scottish architect John Chilver-Stainer in an alpine parkland style.
19 hectares, 6,018 metres of playing length, 6 water hazards and 4 different tee types for every skill level.
Season runs May to October, open daily from sunrise to sunset.
Restaurant Golf @ Paradise right on the course, perfect for an aperitif after your round.
Getting There: From Hotel ZERMAMA to the Course
