DESCRIPTION OF
THE GOLF COURSES:
BOGOGNO
GOLF CLUB
Designed
by the American Robert von Hagge, the Circolo
Golf Bogogno stretches over two championship 18
hole, par 72 courses and combines technical
features of a high standard with the
breathtaking natural beauty of the place: 220
hectares of uncontaminated terrain that include
woods, lakes and streams, a majestic view over
Monte Rosa and a mild climate. Extra green-fee:
70,00 euro
GOLF CLUB LE ROBINIE
In
the early nineties, when Jack Nicklaus found
himself in front of approximately 70 hectares of
level ground between Olgiate and Solbiate Olona
to build a golf course, he was convinced that he
would be able to design a unique course and he
did all that was necessary to made it happen. He
hired the best equipment to dig and dig and dig!
And so bulldozers moved more than two million
cubic meters of earth and gravel in order to
create this masterpiece of hills, terraces,
bunkers and lakes, for which Jack Nicklaus
courses are famous. There are more then a
hundred of golf courses throughout the world
created by Jack Nicklaus, but "Le Robinie" is
the only one in all of Italy. Even though it is
a new course, it is already considered one of
the best in all of Europe. Extra green-fee:
60,00 euro.
CASTELCONTURBIA GOLF CLUB
The
"Italian Golf Manual" states that a golf course
was first designed here in 1898 covering the
same area where the modern holes are to be found
today.
The project for the present layout was designed and
carried out entirely by Robert Trent Jones Sr.
The spot is ideal, 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.
Today this golf course is one of the most
interesting in Europe, offering 27 holes over
three courses, a notable variety of golfing
challenges and a routing which allows golfers to
give their best. Extra green-fee: 80,00 euro.
GOLF CLUB DES ILES BORROMEES
The
area around Lake Maggiore with its luxuriant
vegetation and vivid colours, the endless
variety of trees and flowers, is the ideal
setting for golfing.
The designer is Marco Croze and the course is routed
over 72 hectares of natural ground, with full
respect for the existing countryside, except for
two peat-bog areas which have now been turned
into lakes. Although very recent, the course is
certainly ideally suited from a technical point
of view for top level championships. Extra
green-fee: 60,00 euro.
GOLF CLUB DEI LAGHI
Eighteen
holes set among a wood, pools of water, the
backdrop of the Prealps and the majestic
horizons dominated by Monte Rosa. Golf dei Laghi
is definitely one of the most interesting
courses among those recently in the limelight in
Italian golfing. Hence its slogan "discover it
while it's becoming famous". Designed by Piero
Mancinelli, the course was founded as a
championship course suited to hosting scratch or
amateur players of a high level. But beginners
or players with a high handicap are welcome. It
starts in the clearing where the vast open
spaces allow those with a powerful swing to give
free rein to their qualities. But is necessary
to bear in mind always the obstacles and
bunkersthat protect the greens. One then moves
further into the woods, where the fairways
become narrower and perspectives change. It is
necessary to know how to measure shots, always
making sure to control them. Extra green-fee:
60,00 euro.
