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 busy and bustling Le Robinie Golf Hotel makes this a very good stay'n'play venue near to Milan.
