Lago Maggiore is the second largest lake in Italy, 64 km long, offering annually more than 2000 hours of sunshine and average temperature above 15°C. Five championship golf courses at a short distance of only 25 km from each other are waiting for golfers. All of them could be reached after a short drive, lasting for about 30 minutes from the Milan Malpenza airport.
As a starting point for our play on golf courses around the Lago Maggiore we have chosen the Golf Club Castelconturbia. In 2012 the best golf course in Italy. Back in 1898 the Couturbier Golf Club was the only one in Piedmont, and one of only two courses in Italy. The present modern 27 holes golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. was opened in 1986 and hosted the Italian Open in 1991 and 1998. Record of 66 currently held by José Olazabal and Constantino Rocca. You can combine Blue (The Chestnuts, 9 holes, par 36, 3145 m), Yellow (The Pines Course, 9 holes, par 36, 3085 m) or Red (The Oaks Course, 9 holes, par 36, 3266 m) courses. All three nine holes finish in front of the clubhouse terrace. Hotel guests of Castelconturbia can select from a broad offer of discounted green fee rates out of the following golf courses: Bogogno, Des Iles Borromées, Alpino, Biella, Varese, Carimate, Villa D’Este, Robinie and Pinetina as well as from different golf packages, for instance 3 nights including breakfast, 3 dinners in the club restaurant, 2 green fees in GC Castelconturbia for € 398.-per person in double room.
