Golf Club Castello Tolcinasco: In addition to 27 excellent golf holes (and a nine-hole Executive course), you will also find a wonderfully restored 4-tower castle and impressive "courtyard community" of weekend homes here at Tolcinasco.
The golf course itself is large, open and essentially flat, with a reasonable amount of tree planting yet to fully mature - but plenty of thickish grass to provide clinging rough off the fairways. Blue, Yellow and Red nines make up the 27-holes - the first two seemingly the closest in look and feel, although the Red-nine is not too dissimilar, but perhaps the lesser of the three ... by a whisker.
The modern American styling incorporates bunkering and water to very good effect, putting a premium on good course management before you reach the superb greens. The outside world doesn't seem to intrude on this spacious golfing environment, although a large radio tower and the more picturesque distant Alps do make their presence felt.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required

Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
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. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
