"Les Moulins"- 18 Hole Approach Golf Par 54

Verbier also offers a pitch and putt course, or as they call it in Switzerland an approach golf. The average length of each hole is about 120m, the shortest being 70m and the longest being 160m. This course is not to be underestimated as a test for your skills and for the "fun factor". The small greens demand an accurate short game, and your always right in the action with every shot being directed at the pin. These pint-size courses are traditionally used by beginners, particularly children. What better way of introducing your kid's to the dubious perils of that addictive habit of golf. Even better, let the local pro teach the offspring a proper swing while daddy goes and perfects his bad habits on the "big course".
