Golf Club Le RobinieOne of the newest and most spectacular courses in the area. The first Jack Nicklaus designed course in Italy, the course has many of the Nicklaus signature design trademarks including ample bunkering and diagonally oriented greens.
Golf Club VareseOne of the most renowned and characteristic of the old established clubs. Skillfully restored, it has housed the club house since 1934 and the historical and architectural setting is unique. The 18-hole course comes up to expectations in all ways and is pervaded with the atmosphere of the club's long history.
Golf Club BergamoBergamo is laid out in typical park land fashion and offers therefore a challenging degree of variety. Players emerge from deep valleys to climb to panoramic plains. The red course boasts one of the longest par 5's in Europe: 575 meters.
Circolo Golf Villa D’EsteThe closest course to Como and possibly the most elite. The elevated Clubhouse dominates the course which falls away on all sides. Some stunning views with thick pine forest lining immaculate fairways that seem to stretch away to the distant Alps.
Golf Club MonticelloA short 7 mile drive from Como, Italian designer Luigi Caccia Dominioni created a layout which marries the essential characteristics of golf in the region – tree lined fairways, views of the surrounding mountains and the use of water on many holes.
Golf Club BiellaBuilt on uneven soil of hilly terrain, the golf course at Biella is one of the most beautiful and technically interesting on the peninsula. It comes as no surprise then that it has won the prize for the best course in Italy several times over. The aquatic obstacles are particularly trying and each hole is a challenge.
Golf Club CastelconturbiaDesigned by Robert Trent Jones Sr. the course is set among age old trees, streams and ponds, over slightly undulating ground and the final result is one of his best courses. The course blends magnificently with the unspoilt rural countryside, with Monte Rosa as a backdrop.
Firenze UgolinoThe course lies in the Chianti Hills to the south of Florence. It exploits the natural characteristics of the Tuscan landscape, the cypress trees and olive trees, the slopes that curve and follow the magnificent scenery and the small greens that are well protected. Although not long it will provide a stiff test for all.
Pevero Golf ClubA rather difficult course, full of dangerous traps fashioned more often by nature than by man. It is, however, one of the most gorgeous courses in the world. The club house overlooks the Gulfo del Pevero and the Cala di Volpe, where the yachts of millionaires from around the world are still anchored
Circolo del Golf di Roma L'Acquasanta A historic course, glorious and quite prominent, Roma L'Acquasanta was the first golf course to open in Italy. The natural beauty of the place is enchanting. The horizon is laced with the arches of an ancient aqueduct, while at a certain point in the round, your gaze invariably falls on the cupola of St. Peter's.
