Bonmont is actually a former Cistercian abbey dating to 1738; it was converted into a hotel in 1979. It is located in Chéserex, part of the largely French-speaking canton of Vaud in extreme western Switzerland.

The 18-hole course itself is surrounded by the castle and the old abbey church. Architect Donald Harradine did the original design in 1982, while Peter Harradine oversaw some updates in 2003.
