Enhancing biodiversity through reduced mowing

Golf Club Montreux

In many out-of-play areas across the course, we have deliberately left tall grasses and natural roughs unmown to create important habitats and corridors for insects, small mammals, amphibians, and ground-nesting birds.

These areas act as natural refuges, supporting pollinators, providing food sources, and allowing native plants to flourish in our alpine-influenced environment.

By reducing mowing in strategic locations, we are enhancing biodiversity while maintaining high-quality playing surfaces for members and visitors.
