Golfclub Sedrun

Overview: Golfclub Sedrun’s nine-hole course sits near Selva and Tschamut in the upper Surselva, alongside the young Rhine and below the high peaks of the Graubünden Alps. Peter Harradine designed the routing for this compact mountain setting. Rather than simply repeat an outward loop, each hole has a second tee position, so an 18-hole round changes the angle and playing length on the return. The club and regional tourism information identify the seventh as a point with a particularly expansive view across the course and valley. This is a nine-hole course whose character depends on its alpine context and its alternate tees.

History: Golfclub Sedrun is located near the Oberalp Pass road, in the Selva area above Rueras. Graubünden tourism describes it as the first golf course on the Rhine and confirms the nine-hole format and Peter Harradine design. Those sources also explain the two tee positions at each hole, a feature that provides variety when golfers play a second nine. The target’s nine-hole directory identity is consistent with these sources. The reviewed authoritative pages do not establish the routing’s opening year, par, or yardage clearly enough to state them here, so those fields remain unfilled pending an exact scorecard or club record.

Did You Know? The course’s relationship with the Rhine is more than a regional description: the river’s source lies only a few kilometres away, and the club is marketed as the first golf course on the river’s course. The second set of teeing grounds changes the nine holes on a repeat round, helping the compact routing offer a different test without claiming a second loop. Hole seven is singled out by the destination authority for its outlook over the course and valley. The combination of high-alpine surroundings, a river valley and alternate tees makes Sedrun’s identity unusually specific among short mountain courses.
