Golf 4 You - Italy

Arzaga, Gary Player, Garda, I

Italian landscape meets Gary Players Design at Arzaga Golf Course near Lake Garda:

The nine hole course finished in 2006 is rather a challenge: greens are often protected by crater-deep bunkers - nearly as steep as in Royal St. George.
Designed in the natural beauty of the landscape, this course will fascinate the most experienced golfers and entertain also newcomer.
Play it in spring when flowers and butterflies charm your eyes. Yardage to walk is rather demanding, so when you play during summer take a buggy there are not a lot of trees around to play PAR 36, and walk ca. 3500m.
Situated near the Lake Garda you have fantastic facilities and hotels around - as ..

HIGH LIGHTS	Hole Bucca 3: Steep Bunkers Deep bunkers on both sides of the fairway are waiting to catch your ball. Your approach shot has to be the right length, as the green is guarded by another high-lipped bunker. Hole 6: Peninsula Playground A small green is waiting on the peninsula protected by water and bunkers. So precise play is needed.
FUN Factor	Enjoy a cold drink and have supper under olive trees after the challenging course in the heat...
HOW to PLAY	After hilly No 1, British golfer will feel like home playing a Links course - but in Italian summer - with rather hard soil balls are running on the fairways. But beware of the bunkers: f.e. on the long hole 4th, a 557m long par 5 with bunkers in the landing area of the drive. Another bunker near the green is guarding the left side, while a pond is catching every ball on the right side. Played July 2019

I Roveri by Robert Trent Jones, Torino, Italy

The first Robert Trent Jones Design in Europe offers a great Golf experience

The owners of Fiat, the Agnelli family, invited Robert Trent Jones sen. to create one of his first masterpieces in Europe (Sotogrande was the first in 1964). Where the king of Piedemonte used to hunt, nowadays Golf afficionades search their balls under mature oak trees - I Roveri - with the best view to Mont Blanc und the snowcovered Alps. On the 1971 inaugurated course you will notice the very strategic deployment of water and the very sophisticated plotted position and design of bunkers, and the ondulated greens. Enjoy!

Bucca 6 - Par 3, typisch Trent Jones: Green schön protected mit Bunkern, taktisch schmaler Einlass zum manicürten Green...

AMAZE!	There are a lot rabbits and even a wild boar have we seen on the King's huntingground... but also a lot of interesting holes the Trent Jones course offers to play in this Nature Reserve. Espacially in harvest when the oaktrees are colourful it's a pleasure to play.

FUN Factor	Challenge your Flight companions with a Matchplay, to find out, who can read the Trent Jones holes better... My son Leander is a little bit disappointed, as I succed to win with 3 Pars the on the Par 3 holes, thanks for reading the hole tacitally and fix the ball with the first stroke on the green, like on Bucca 6....
HOW to PLAY	It's important to study the design carefully before playiing. So look twice and imagine where the ball might land and moves. And you have to know where to play espacially approaching the green: you often don't get the chance to roll the ball onto very well defended greens...
SIGNATURE Hole	Signature Hole 17, HCP 1, a long Par 4 with 417m to the flag. Water comes in to play with a pond to overplay and the green is a dogleg to the right where a bunker tries to catch your ball... In the afternoon some local players take the short cut from hole 2 to play hole 17 twice...

Monticello Red Course, Como

Golf Club Monticello Red Championship Course 18 - Challenging Parkland Course

Monticello Red is one of the great classic courses in Italy, opened in 1974. Made famous by the Italian Open Championships held here and by the meticulous maintenance and challenging lay-out in the fascinating parkland fairways lined with beautiful pine and deciduous trees. It is an enchanting place for golfers of all skill levels, offering long fairways and well manicured greens that provide an unforgettable playing experience.

Tacitical play needed between glittering ponds , Hole No 7, par 3, hcp 5 (Foto: Luzia Kopp)

AMAZE!	The Red Course features diverse holes with strategically placed bunkers and shimmering lakes, demanding both precision and strategic thinking. Golfers are challenged by the variety of playing options and can put their skills to the test.
HIGH LIGHTS	Bucca 7: The 7th hole is considered one of the most challenging par-3 holes in Italy. It measures 183m from the yellow tee and features a well-protected green on a peninsula. The design of the hole makes approach shots difficult from any angle. It is crucial not to hit the ball too far to the left, as the ground in that area is always firm, causing the ball to slide into the water. Bucca 16: Par 4, hcp 2 The spectacular Par 4 is considered one of the most challenging holes in Italy. The drive needs to be spot-on because there's shimmering water on the left, and the second shot also requires precision to safely reach the small, undulating green. The entrance is very narrow and surrounded by a long bunker. Those who hit too far may end up in the water in the water hazard or in the bunker behind the green.

HOW to PLAY	To play the Red Course optimally, it is important to have a good strategy and carefully analyze the course to choose the optimal lines and shots. The manicured greens are known for their speed and require careful reading to achieve the best results.
