From the A8 motoway (at the level of Milano's Malpensa Airport) take exit Busto Arsizio. Follow direction Busto Arsizio for o.5 km. At roundabout follow direction Solbiate Olona. After o.5 km turn right at sign Golf Hotel Le Robinie. After o.3 km follow sign Golf Hotel and enter gate.
Le Robinie Golf Club: Small conifers, large earth mounding and excellent bunkering give Nicklaus's "TPC style" layout a unique place amongst Italian golf courses. Big hitters will enjoy the good width fairways, but will also need to watch out for the lake-size water hazards. Most notably, the 9th and 10th wrap themselves around one lake, while the closing 17th and 18th holes encircle another.
The open terrain is unlike many of the tree-lined parkland golf courses around Milan. The modern Nicklaus layout offers something more in-keeping with US style golf than you'll find elsewhere in northern Italy. The excellent quality bunkering includes 28 of them at the par-4 14th, and three levels of tiered bunkers at the par-4 4th.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: 36 (for the Championship course). Proof of handicap required.
Soft spikes only. Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf.
