Bogogno Golf Resort (Del Conte Course): Bogogno is home to two 18-hole championship courses, both designed by the renowned American architect Robert von Hagge. Golf writers are torn on which is the "better" of the two, the Bonora or the Del Conte.
The Del Conte course is more open, flatter and less water-defended than the Bonora. Although inland (versus beside the sea), it has more in common with an open "Scottish" links layout, rather than a classic Italian parkland course.
Plenty of earth-mounding has been deployed to create dune-like definition to many fairways, with significant bunkering also playing its part. As on most links layouts, close-cut grass around the greens provides plenty of chip-and-run possibilities as you close in on the hole.
Like the Bonora course, the Del Conte lays down an excellent test of golf. Its wider fairways and fewer water hazards will encourage a greater sense of "freedom" from the tee than on its sister course. The Del Conte layout is a firm favourite with many of the club's members. Our preference, by a whisker, is the Bonora course, which arguably demands more of the golfer and takes you on a more expansive tour of the "estate".
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed on Mondays from December thru' Feb.
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap required

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
