Flims Golf Club. (1920 - 1948)

The golf club at Flims-Waldhaus joined the Swiss Golf Association in 1920.

The course was rather short playing only over 1.371m for 9 holes. The greens were very small. During a visit at Flims French Golf architect Noskowski found one green that measured only 16m² even though the golfer had to approach it from approximately 140m.
