Best time to travel and climate The golf season in Piedmont is long – conditions are usually ideal from March to the end of October.

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 Biella Le Betulle

26.04. — green fee per player: Green Fee 18 Holes (10:00)
We’re on the hills of the Serra of Biella: all around us is nature, lush forests and gentle undulation. It is almost 60 years since the British architect John Morrison placed the 18 holes of the course here and meanwhile, in the peace of the woods, the clubhouse and lodgings were built. Since then very little seems to have changed inside the Biella club, which enjoys some sort of splendid isolation. Testing yourself on this masterpiece-course, award-winning among the best of Italy, is not an easy task, but rewarding, in any case. And towards the end, here’s a hole like no other: the 16th, a par 5 493 m long. A blind second shot to a diagonally downhill fairway you can only guess at. What you can never expect are the two rocks in the middle of the fairway: to be positively avoided, any rebound could be fatal to the score. Woe onto those who aim at the right of the green: the ball would slip in the rough, between the tangle of birches from which the club take its name. Inside the clubhouse is simple but tasteful decoration with wooden floorboards that are still hammered by the spikes of the old golf shoes; the same atmosphere awaits you in the bright and airy rooms of the restaurant, maybe sipping a drink, sitting on the comfortable sofas by the fireplace. Technical Details Course: 18 holes, Par 73, 6497 meters Architect: John Morrison Topography: narrow fairways and rich vegetation. Pro’s comments To define Biella Golf Club you need a superlative: gorgeous. A beautiful course in an area exclusively dedicated to golf (there’s no swimming pool, no tennis court etc.) Except the par 3s and the 13th, all the holes are dog-legs: a well-placed tee-shot becomes essential; on the greens, be extremely careful! Plenty of slopes, raised holes and steps could cause trouble. To high handicap players I suggest patience, to the low handicap players I only say: “Have fun”!

Golf Club Cerrione
Golf club page
30.04. — green fee per player: Green Fee 18 Holes (10:00)
It is a 9-hole course, with double tees, spread over an area of 30 hectares, created between the nature reserve of the Bessa and the Olobbia stream. An area rich in history, a park protected by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage, is rich in woods, which are home to a fauna often seen by golfers because they are accustomed to the presence of man. Technical Details Course: 9 holes, Par 36; meters: 2.610 Architect: Tremolada Topography: flat, it evokes Scottish-style links courses. It is 2610 metres and is a par 36 with two par 5s of more than 500 metres, full of natural obstacles, one of which is the ruins of the old 17th century mill in the middle of hole 1. There are few bunkers; hole 9 is spectacular with the lake to be flown in from above, which thrills everyone. Pro’s comments: considered as one of the most beautiful 9-hole courses in Italy, located within the Bessa park, the golf club Cerrione ‘il Mulino’ has all the difficulties of an 18-hole course. Two 500-metre Par 5s make this course quite technical. Each hole manages to make players develop every shot. The greens are large. You just have to come and play it!
