Golfclub Gonten-Appenzell
The 18-hole course, completed in 2007, is located in the middle of the Appenzellerland in the high valley of Gonten. The fairways circle the rural clubhouse that stands on a hilltop. Every shot ends with a magnificent panoramic view. Especially to the south, the Alpstein with the Säntis offers breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks. The surrounding hills, with their typical Appenzell scattered settlements are just far enough away to create a cohesive, unique landscape.
