Golf in Lombardy – Fantastic golf courses between lakes, the Alps and Italian joie de vivre For many, Lombardy is an insider tip when it comes to golfing in Italy. Golfers will discover an exceptionally diverse region stretching between the Alps in the north and the Po Valley in the south. In between: stunning lake landscapes, historic towns and some of Italy’s best golf courses. Whether you are an ambitious sportsman or simply looking for an enjoyable round of golf, Lombardy offers both. Golf courses with character and history There are over 30 golf courses in Lombardy, many of which have a long tradition. The Golf Club Milano in Parco di Monza is legendary – a true championship course that has hosted the Italian Open several times. The course is challenging, beautifully overgrown and offers a pure classic golfing experience. Less well known, but a real highlight for connoisseurs: the Barlassina Country Club. An elegant parkland course maintained with great attention to detail. Quietly located, challenging, with a stylish clubhouse and excellent service. If you love lakes and panoramic views, don’t miss the Bergamo L’Albenza Golf Club – nestled in the foothills of the Alps, this 27-hole course is a scenic dream and offers a variety of play. The perfect blend of sport and la dolce vita What makes Lombardy so special as a golfing region is the density of top-class courses combined with the typical Italian lifestyle. After your round, you won’t find an anonymous 19th tee, but often a small gourmet restaurant with pasta, vino and a view. Many golf clubs offer hotel facilities or are located near charming accommodation, from elegant villas to agriturismo. And when you’re not playing golf, there’s plenty to discover: Milan with its shopping, design and opera. The Franciacorta wine region.

3 nights, DBL Superior with Private Patio, BED AND BREAKFAST
The urge to kneel down in front of this charming old Abbey is strong. The Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf, made of a 27-hole championship golf course, an apartment building and a four-star hotel, offer many beautiful angles. The two buildings of the old Abbey, where the rooms are situated, appear to be country style on the outside, but their interiors will surprise you with their elegance and the perfect combination of different materials such as marble and wood. The large, bright rooms and Suites have been designed halfway between traditional and innovative style. They all feature a cream-white parquet floor, a flat screen TV and marble bathrooms. The stuccoed ceilings and the Neo-classic style furnishings are quite remarkable. On top of that, you will notice an extra special touch: in the paintings by Jouy, you will identify some golfers! Some rooms come with a fireplace, others feature beamed ceilings and boast a great view either on the golf course or on the charming courtyard. In other words, thanks to the upscale Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf, a new star shines in the sky of Lake Garda.

08.07. — green fee per player: Green Fee 18 Holes Hotel Guest (10:00)
It is a course where even high handicap players can enjoy themselves and where you don’t have to spend a lot of time looking for the ball because it is always in sight (unless it ends up in one of the many water hazards!). The 18 classic championship holes are those of the Benaco – with a memorable 5th hole, a 180-meter par 3 almost entirely occupied by the lake – combined with those of the Solferino; the 9 holes of both courses are spectacular, sharing the same lake and the same immense putting green overlooked by the windows of the clubhouse. The San Martino course, a fairly long par 35 with many water hazards. Try your short game and the Pozzolengo course, with its 9 executive holes that are varied and entertaining. Technical details Benaco/Solferino Course: 9 holes, Par 36, 3427 meters. San Martino Course: 9 holes, Par 35, 2910 meters. Pozzolengo Course: 9 holes, Par 27, 1025 meters Architect: Kurt Rossknecht Topography: Somewhere flat, somewhere hilly; many water hazards.
