Adelboden, August 2011: In September last year the world’s first ever pop-up golf course, Golf Mountain, was launched on the pretty meadow plateau of Engstligenalp in Adelboden, and such was its success that it’s back this year for a second round.
News of the pop-up golf course spread far and wide last year, resulting in one American tourist – who was on a 10-city, 14-day tour of Europe with his wife – leaving her to do the sights of Frankfurt alone, while he took a 1,000km round trip to Adelboden by taxi, simply so he could experience Golf Mountain for himself.
Once again, the pop-up course will be open for a limited period only, for just five weeks from 9 September to 16 October 2011. So, if you want to secure your chance to play the world’s only natural pop-up golf course, book now.
