Evian Resort Golf Club is a golf course in southeastern France, located in Évian-les-Bains, Haute-Savoie. Overlooking Lake Geneva, it hosts The Evian Championship, formerly "Evian Masters," annually in July. From 2013 to 2018, The Evian Championship was the LPGA Tour's fifth and final major championship. It is currently the fourth major of the year.

The standard 18-hole course is par 71 at {{convert|6333|yd}}. The entire course, with a particular focus on the tees, fairways, greens, and bunkers, underwent a $8 million renovation in 2012–13, designed by architect Steve Smyers and European Golf Design.{{cite news |last1=Mell |first1=Randall |title=Evian trying to prove status as fifth LPGA major |url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/randall-mell/evian-trying-prove-status-fifth-lpga-major/ |accessdate=15 July 2014 |work=The Golf Channel |date=10 September 2013}} The course has received criticism for fundamental design flaws, presenting players with "too many bad breaks with good shots" according to Lexi Thompson, and causing Stacy Lewis to boycott the course for two years. {{cite news |last1=Mell |first1=Randall |date=30 July 2019|title=Randall's Rant: When it comes to Evian, Lexi only said what many are thinking|url=https://www.golfchannel.com/news/randalls-rant-when-it-comes-evian-lexi-thompson-only-said-what-many-are-thinking|work=The Golf Channel}}
