I was in Switzerland a couple of months ago and played the hilliest golf course I've ever seen, the nine holer at Realp, above Andermatt in the area of the St Gotthard Pass. It was about 1600-1700 metres above sea level and it's the first course I've ever seen where the tee markers tell you the elevation change on the hole as well as its length. The third is a par four of around 300m that has a 55m climb, while the fourth, which is a bit shorter at around 275m comes straight back down that hill with even more elevation change. Off that tee, my playing partner, the club pro, hit a gentle three wood that carried through the back of the green. Never seen anything like it. It was entertaining, if exhausting. That said, the eighth hole is an excellent split fairway par four and very strategic.
