Bogogno Golf Club is a leading golf club located in the Piedmont region of Italy. The club has two courses of 18 holes each, making a total of 36 holes. The two courses are known as the “Conte” course and the “Bonora” course. Conte Course: Designed by renowned golf architect Robert Von Hagge, this course offers a challenging playing experience with beautiful scenery and harmonious integration with the natural surroundings. It is known for its panoramic views and strategic design that tests golfers’ skills. Bonora Course: Also designed by Robert Von Hagge, this course complements the Conte, presenting an equally challenging and aesthetically impressive design. It is characterized by its wide fairways, water hazards and strategically placed bunkers. It is considered one of the best golf clubs in Italy and its Bonora course is particularly notable for being the second oldest course in the Piedmont region. This region is known for its picturesque landscapes and rich golfing history. In addition to the golf courses, the club offers a variety of high-quality facilities and services, including a clubhouse, restaurants, accommodations and more, providing a complete and luxurious experience for its visitors.

Among the golf courses around Lake Maggiore, the oldest one is Alpino di Stresa Golf Club, high in the hills overlooking the most famous town of the area. From this strategic location you can enjoy the pleasure of an extraordinary panoramic view of the lake and the Alps. You will be welcomed in a friendly atmosphere in this 9 holes only club, designed in 1924 by Peter Gannon. The course has a distinctive trait that distinguishes it from any other: the architect was left-handed and that has been reflected in the project, later developed by the professional Francesco Pasquali, who won the first Italian Open on this very golf course in 1925, followed by two other championships. The layout runs clockwise and the left section becomes punishing, often to the very edge of the out of bound limit. Despite the 700 m. altitude, only holes 1,3, 4 and 9 are uneven. Overall it is a short but quite difficult course, with some narrow and dodgy fairways, many tall trees along the tracks, small and fast greens, protected by bunkers. As a compensation, a unique detail: you will never find a bunker on the fairways, nor any water hazard. Technical Details Course : 9 holes, Par 69, 5397 meters. Architects: Peter Gannon, Francesco Pasquali Topography: hilly Distinctive features: the greens are not so visible when you throw in the ball. Pro’s comments Almost 100 years of history but it doesn’t look it! At Alpino di Stresa Golf Club you can play and have fun on a course with steep slopes, where precision is much more needed than strength; 9 holes to play tiptoeing, without of bounds always at your left. If you don’t hook, delight is guaranteed
