Course Report
Twice host to the Italian Open (1991 and 1998), Castelconturbia is one of the few Italian courses with authentic roots stretching to the 19th century—a nod to the earliest days of golf in Italy.
About
Golf Club Castelconturbia, set amid Piedmont’s rolling landscapes, offers 27 championship holes crafted by Robert Trent Jones Sr. Opened in 1987, the course is known for its strategic challenge, stunning views of Monte Rosa, and natural integration with mature woodlands, streams, and lakes. Champion greens, an excellent practice area, and an elegant clubhouse attract both Italian and international golf enthusiasts seeking an authentic experience.
Caddie Tip
Approaches into Castelconturbia’s massive, well-contoured greens play trickier than they seem. Study pin positions before attacking; favor the safe side where water or bunkers threaten. Expect subtle movement underfoot on putts, especially as speeds rise on dry afternoons.
The Main Challenge
Accuracy is everything at Castelconturbia. Water hazards come into play on several holes, and the large, undulating greens put a premium on precise iron play and putting finesse. Strategic bunkering and mature, tree-lined fairways demand shot shaping and course management skills throughout the round.
The Good
Golfers rave about Castelconturbia’s expert blend of natural features, mature trees, and varied water hazards, all complemented by the spectacular snowcapped backdrop of Monte Rosa. The greens are renowned for both their size and quality, providing a challenge even for seasoned players. The welcoming club atmosphere and authentic Italian cuisine elevate the overall experience.
The Not So Good
Some players note that bunker maintenance can fluctuate, and after heavy rain, low-lying fairways may play softer than expected. Additional signage could improve wayfinding, particularly across the 27-hole routing, which at times can be confusing for first-time visitors.
Signature Hole:
#
7
The par 4 7th hole is considered Castelconturbia’s standout challenge. With an elevated tee, a bright view of Mount Rosa behind, and a lake guarding the front-right of the green, precision is required off both tee and approach. Mature trees frame the landing area, demanding both technical skill and course management.
Clubhouse
The elegant clubhouse features spacious locker rooms, a pro shop, and a restaurant serving regional cuisine and fine wines overlooking the parkland setting. Guests will also find a bar, terrace, and comfortable lounge areas—all in a refined yet welcoming Italian style.
Practice Facilities
Golf Club Castelconturbia boasts a comprehensive practice area, including a full driving range, large putting and chipping greens, pitching area, and dedicated practice bunkers. Short-game facilities and a golf academy allow all players to develop their skills in a tranquil, natural environment.
