Golf Torino Club
The thirty-six holes of the Turin Golf Club form
an outstanding golf centre that is perfectly integrated into the former
royal estate. The two courses, the Blue and the Yellow (from the colors
of the Club), wind through centuries-old woods and water hazards, with
the foothills of the Alps in the background. The Blue course, the traditional
championship course, was designed and laid out in 1956 by the British
architect John Morrison; it was remodelled last year by the Canadian architect
Graham Cooke, the author of the Master Renovation Plan. Mainly flat, the
course was enlivened by the addition of new fairway bunkers and mounds
along the course, while some of the greens were extended and reshaped
for today's game. The third set of nine holes, built in 1974 with the
help of John Harris, and the fourth nine, built in 1986 by Franco Rivetti,
to a design by Marco Croze, make up the present Yellow course. In 1999
the Circolo Golf Turin hosted the 56th Italian Open.
A.S. I Roveri
The Marquis Medici del Vascello was certainly not trying to save money
when in 1971 he decided to locate the Golf Club I Roveri in the heart
of the Mandria Park. To site the 18 holes he reserved 170 splendid hectares
of land dispersed with ponds, streams, meadows and woods.
Today the course has 27 holes, redesigned by the famous Robert Trent Jones,
which give life to a club that is really unique for its size and appeal.
Golf Club Biella Le Betulle.
It was founded in 1958 and has steadily grown to become one of the most
well-known and welcoming 18-hole English style golf clubs.
Designed by an Englishman, John Morrison, the course was laid out on the
natural surroundings of Lake Viverone, near Biella. It is regarded as
the best Italian Golf Course in terms of technical perfection and scenic
beauty by Golf Digest magazine.
