Golf Club Davos

What Golf Club Davos does

Golf Club Davos is a Swiss non-profit membership association (Verein) operating an 18-hole Par 68 golf course at 1,560 meters elevation on the high plateau of the Landwassertal valley in Davos Dorf, Switzerland. Founded in 1929 and tracing its roots to a 1927 9-hole layout built by English spa guests, the club is governed by a volunteer board led by Toni Morosani and operated by a paid staff of approximately 18-19 across management, administration, greenkeeping, and ranger/starter functions. Revenue is generated from annual and multi-year memberships (with entry fees ranging from CHF 9,000 for young singles to CHF 28,000 for families), day-visit green fees (CHF 80-110), golf-school instruction with three certified pros, Toptracer-equipped driving range usage, a clubhouse restaurant, and gift vouchers. Distribution channels include direct online tee-time booking, a five-hotel partner package network, and reciprocal play access through the GOLF CLUB CARD Classic across 15 partner courses in Switzerland and neighboring countries. The club maintains four organized member sections (Ladies, Men, Senioren, Junioren) with dedicated captains, and serves golf tourists visiting the Davos Klosters region alongside its ~250-person core membership base.

The club's notable technical component is the Toptracer Driving Range, licensed tracking technology deployed across 10 stations that provides real-time ball-flight analytics, virtual golf, and a companion mobile app. Course technology otherwise consists of standard online tee-time booking and rating systems (CR 68.6 / SL 129 for men). The business model is a hybrid of recurring subscription revenue (memberships), usage-based pricing (green fees, range tokens, equipment rentals), and one-time transaction revenue (lessons, vouchers, restaurant). Customer segmentation spans individual members, couples, families, juniors, golf tourists with Davos Klosters guest cards, and corporate groups seeking team-building Schnupperkurs packages. Strategic positioning emphasizes the unique alpine altitude, which produces measurably longer ball flight and a cooler playing climate, paired with integration into the broader Davos tourism ecosystem through Davos Klosters Tourismus and hotel partners.
