Golf holidays in Piedmont – varied and authentic Those who play golf in Piedmont will experience a successful mix of well-maintained golf courses, authentic Italian lifestyle and breathtaking scenery. The courses are nestled among vineyards, forests and nature parks – and are significantly less crowded than other golf regions in Italy. This makes the region particularly attractive for anyone who wants to be active in a relaxed atmosphere. Top golf courses in Piedmont One of the best-known courses is the Bogogno Golf Club, which boasts two championship courses – Bonora and Conte. Both courses are varied, perfectly maintained and challenging. Also recommended: the traditional Circolo Golf Torino, which regularly hosts international tournaments, and the elegant Golf Club Castelconturbia, a true classic among Italy’s top courses.

Best time to travel and climate The golf season in Piedmont is long – conditions are usually ideal from March to the end of October. In spring and autumn, the climate is pleasantly mild, and in summer it is warm but often refreshing due to the high altitude – perfect for a round in the afternoon and a glass of Barolo in the evening. Enjoyment on and off the course What makes Piedmont so special is the combination of sporting excellence with a genuine culture of enjoyment. The region is world-famous for its wines (Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto), its fine cuisine featuring truffles, pasta, game and cheese – and, last but not least, its charming agriturismi, small wineries and stylish resorts, which are often located right next to the golf courses.

Golf Club Alpino di Stresa – Historic Golf Above Lake Maggiore For golfers visiting northern Italy, the Golf Club Alpino di Stresa is one of those special places where golf, landscape and tradition come together perfectly. Located high above the elegant lakeside town of Stresa, this historic course offers breathtaking views over the Lake Maggiore and the surrounding Alpine foothills. Founded in 1924, the club is among the most traditional golf destinations in the region. Playing here feels authentic and relaxed — a classic Italian golf experience surrounded by forests, mountains and fresh alpine air. A Classic Alpine Golf Course The course at Golf Club Alpino di Stresa is a charming 9-hole layout set at around 600 meters above sea level. Thanks to its elevated position, the climate is pleasantly cool during summer, making it an ideal escape from the heat around the lake. The course blends naturally into the landscape, winding through mature trees, gentle slopes and quiet woodland areas. Rather than relying on artificial hazards, the design uses the natural terrain to create a course that rewards strategy and precision. Although it is a 9-hole course, many golfers play it twice to enjoy a full 18-hole round — and the second loop often reveals new angles and challenges. Strategic and Enjoyable for All Levels The layout may appear compact at first glance, but it requires thoughtful course management and accurate shot placement. Narrow fairways, subtle elevation changes and well-protected greens make every hole interesting. Key features include: Tree-lined fairways demanding accuracy off the tee Small, well-guarded greens that test your short game Natural elevation changes creating varied shot scenarios Quiet forest surroundings that provide a peaceful playing atmosphere The result is a course that is both enjoyable and technically engaging, perfect for golfers who appreciate classic course design. Golf Holidays at Lake Maggiore The proximity to Stresa makes the Golf Club Alpino di Stresa an excellent addition to any golf holiday around Lake Maggiore. After your round, it’s only a short drive down to the lakeside promenade, elegant historic hotels and the charming cafés of Stresa. Many visitors combine their golf day with a boat trip to the famous Borromean Islands or a relaxed dinner overlooking the lake. This combination of sport, nature and Italian lifestyle is exactly what makes golf in this part of Italy so memorable. Authentic Golf with Character The Golf Club Alpino di Stresa is not a large modern resort course — and that is precisely its charm. Instead, golfers will find a traditional club atmosphere, beautiful scenery and a course that reflects more than a century of golfing heritage. For golfers looking to discover unique courses in northern Italy, this hidden gem above Lake Maggiore offers a truly special experience. Highlights for Golfers Historic golf club founded in 1924 Spectacular location above Lake Maggiore Classic 9-hole alpine parkland course Peaceful forest setting Only minutes from the elegant town of Stresa Playing at the Golf Club Alpino di Stresa means enjoying golf in its purest form — surrounded by nature, tradition and stunning views of one of Italy’s most beautiful lakes.
