Golf Club Villa Paradiso Cornate d'Adda

Discreetly hidden on a tranquil bend of the Adda River in a protected natural area – the Regional Northern Adda Park, halfway between Milan and Bergamo – the 18-hole course inaugurated in 2001 is a delightful surprise which appears as soon as you start down the steep slope leading to the clubhouse. The club takes its name from an old villa that stood here but was destroyed, and was unable to see the opening of this pleasant course rolling over the lands of an abandoned quarry, with its varied and intriguing 18 holes and their well maintained championship-level fairways and greens. This is a modern concept course that is technical and long, all the while entertaining for all types of golfers, due to the presence of five strategically positioned lakes, which give the holes their high technical value. Each hole with its own six tee boxes, nonetheless, will thoroughly satisfy even less powerful players.

In addition to the championship course, there is a 9-hole course of only par 3s, perfect for newcomers but also interesting for improving your short game.

Pro’s comments

Villa Paradiso is one of the best golf clubs opened in Italy this new century: an easygoing atmosphere with an impressive course; the 18 well-designed entertaining holes created by friend Franco Piras, have the virtue of mixing length and difficulty perfectly. Hole 8, a rather long par 4, is particularly beautiful, with a double lake that will hinder tee-shots as well as shots to the green. Finishing out the hole with a par is a completely respectable result.
