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.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
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.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
