Palazzo Arzaga
Architect: J. Nicklaus Jnr.
18 holes: 6062m: par 72.
The 18 hole course designed by Jack Junior
has a very American feel to it with huge bunkers and water hazards
everywhere you look. The Greens are enormous too - easy to hit,
but you can quite easily leave yourself in the dreaded 3-putt country...
Palazzo Arzaga II
Architect: G. Player.
9-holes designed by Gary Player in similar style to Jack's
course, although slightly hillier terrain in places. Due for extension
to 18 holes at some stage. |

Garda Golf
Architect: C. Cotton, Pennick &
Steel (1986).
27 holes: 6,505m: par 72.
A tremendously popular Club with Members at weekends, once you see
the course and facilities it's easy to understand why!
Twenty-seven very good golf holes are spread out over a broad woodland
bowl extending below the Clubhouse. The "Championship"
combination is Rosso & Bianco, but don't leave without trying
your hand at the Giallo.

Franciacorta
Architect: P. Dye & M. Croze (1986).
18 holes: 5,924m: par 72.
A little further flung from Lake Garda, Franciacorta lies amongst
the Lombardy vineyards close to the pretty little lake of Iseo.
Pete Dye has an uncompromising style of design, plenty of water,
island Greens etcetera, here it was tempered by the influence of
local favourite Marco Croze to produce a very enjoyable course,
that is slightly hilly in places. |

Verona
Architect: J. Harris (1963).
18 holes: 6,037m: par 72.
A well established course, through mature woodland, across reasonably
hilly terrain.
A very smart Club (tremendous Clubhouse): a setting fit for the
gentlemen of Verona.
Very close to Verona airport - an ideal Club for your arrival and
departure day - or an evening visit to Verona perhaps? |

Bogliaco
Architect: A. Albergatore (1912).
18 holes: 4,586m: par 67.
On the western shores of Lake Garda is a very
pretty shorter course that has just been extended to 18 holes.
The original 9 constituted the third ever course in Italy!
Lovely small Clubhouse that has a very rtelaxed, "family run"
feel to it.

Other courses to consider
Paradiso del Garda
Inland from Desenzano and easily reached
due to its proximity to the main motorway intersection; Parco
Paradiso is a new hotel, apartment and golf course development;
a good test of US style golf.
Ca' degli Ulivi
On the eastern side of the lake which has a real alpine feel about
the place; some unusual holes, but great views of Lake Garda and
the town.
