Castelconturbia
27 holes: 6,230m: Par 72:
Architect: R. Trent Jones Snr. (1987)
There are three excellent loops of nine holes
around the wondrous burnt sienna Clubhouse that looks out over the
surrounding forest. The course is reasonably flat: the Greens aren’t;
so landing your approach in the correct quarter of the Green is
a distinct advantage (unless you name is T. Woods or H. Potter).
A beautiful place to play golf; not to be missed.

| Bogogno -
del Conte
18 holes: 6,485m: Par 72:
Architect R. Von Hagge (1996)
Playing out in front of the luxurious Clubhouse
and under the gaze of Monte Rosa, the course appears at first glance
to be the more expansive of the two, with huge sandy bunkers and
deceptively wide, level fairways. But be warned there is plenty
of strategically placed water awaiting you amidst the distant woods…

Bogogno - Bonora
18 holes: 6,284m: Par 72:
Architect: R. von Hagge (2000)
A huge variety of holes on this exceptional
course that takes you on a fantastic journey away from the Clubhouse
and down through a lush river valley in the Piemonte countryside.
The course has been shaped in places but predominantly follows the
natural contours of both the land and the river.

Iles Borromées
18 holes: 6,122m: Par 72:
Architect: M. Croze (1987)
A roller coaster ride of outstanding natural
beauty in the crystal clear alpine air high above Lakes Maggiore
and Orta: the scenery alone can’t fail to touch your soul.
The course itself is kept in superb condition and you will need
every ounce of your skill and imagination to negotiate the twists
and turns of these testing holes. Walkable, but buggies are recommended.

Varese
Architect: C. Blandford & P. Gannon
(1934).
18 holes: 6,105m: par 72.
Not far from Arona on the shores of Lake Varese,
a course that warrants a little effort to reach, but what a treat
awaits you!
On the slopes of the hillside running down to the lake of Varese
a truly beautiful course. Although hilly, most of the holes are
on flat areas with ascents and descents between Greens and Tees.
And we guarantee that you will have never seen another Clubhouse
like this! |
Biella - Le Betulle
18 holes; 6,497m: Par 73:
Architect: J. Morrison (1958)
The almost secretive Le Betulle is often
touted as Italy’s finest course and we would certainly place
it amongst the top five. Although quite a lengthy trip from Arona
the combination of a devilishly difficult layout, in a very British
style, and a glorious setting makes it worth considering the drive.
Alternatively there are rooms available in the small Golf Hotel
on-site if you would like to stay over and play twice, or thrice....
