Course Breakdown
The Champions Course at Evian Resort is a visual masterpiece—but it’s no walk in the park. With sloped fairways, undulating greens, and unpredictable bounces, approach play and short-game finesse will be key. Over 40% of strokes gained by top finishers in recent years came from approach shots.
