Absolutely overrated
Reviewed April 15, 2024
We were very excited about this place because of the very good reviews, but we have eyes in our heads.
Let’s get to the good impressions:
very nice clubhouse, well-stocked pro shop, the staff friendly and accommodating!
That was all very good.
The course certainly deserved a top rating many years ago, because the topography and architecture of the fairways are a playful challenge - but certainly doable.
The condition of the paths, along the fairways and the greens - that no longer has much to do with maintenance.
The bunkers had neither good, clean edges nor enough sand.
The tees were simply too uneven for a “very good club”. The trash cans were still full from the weekend. The signage between the individual holes was sparse.
Since the topography is very hilly, it is highly recommended to take an electric trolley or a cart. But a cart for 60 euros?!

Top Golf Course
Reviewed September 18, 2023
The wonderful golf course impresses with its great condition. The place is tricky and requires strategic skills. The traditional clubhouse, the elegant pro shop and very friendly staff complete the overall impression perfectly. Direttore Andrea Contigiani has everything very well under control and runs the system perfectly.
In any case a “must play system”.

Wonderful Place
Reviewed September 27, 2022
Golf course integrated wonderfully into the landscape with dreamlike old trees and great views, well-kept course condition, greens that are not easy to play. Lanes 3 to 6 relatively short but very tricky. Overall very varied. Very friendly staff (reception, pro shop, caddy master), good restaurant.
We will come back!

Fantastic parkland course in the hills of Lake Como
Reviewed November 27, 2021
The tracks are optimally placed in the hilly landscape and the varied layout brings enough challenges into play.
The entire course is well-kept, the undulating fairways run through the old trees, the greens are fast and directional. The employees in the secretariat and the clubhouse are friendly and efficient.
All in all: The course is worth the trip and you should play it whenever you are around!

Too expensive and overrated
Reviewed February 27, 2021
Played the course 2 times. The place is nice so far, but overrated. The tees are partly uneven, and around the green there are many places without grass.
The green fee is far too expensive for the quality and the Buggx with 50 EURO is out of proportion. Both days the buggy had to be changed after 9 holes, the battery was empty and the GPS did not work correctly both days.
There are nicer places in the region.

Should have played man / woman
Reviewed June 12, 2020
We, both Hcp 10, played the course on June 12th, 2020. We also find this system commendable. The quality is very good on and off the pitch. The staff were very friendly. There are plenty of bunkers and trees, but there is only one water hazard on one track. Since the course is only par 69, it has six par 3 lanes. We are happy to recommend the place.

One of the best parkland courses in continental Europe
Reviewed November 11, 2019
The region around Milan has some excellent places to offer and for me is clearly worth the slightly longer journey compared to the usual among many Munich golfers trip to Lake Garda. Among top courses such as Castelconturbia, Bogogno, Biella and several others worth a visit, such as Varese, Robinie or Iles Borromees, Villa d'Este still stands out. A great package with a dreamlike and (playful and conditional) challenging course, a great clubhouse with a very dignified, yet relaxed atmosphere, very nice and courteous staff and genuine service, from picking up the racket at the front desk to cleaning the rackets the round. The course is especially exciting for good players, each hole with its own challenges, great rhythm, in which there are always highlights. For me rightly time and again ranked as the best place in Italy.

... is our favorite...
Reviewed October 4, 2019
... in Northern Italy, is listed in the top 10 in Italy, currently No 1.
The Campo is very old, planned in 1925 by James Cannon - who worked with Harry S Colt - and is only a few miles to the Swiss border. Only six clubs in Italy are older.
James Cannon was actually a priest and already worked at the golf course Engadin (Switzerland) and other great places in Italy.
Many celebrities of this earth have already stopped here, even big tournaments were played here - although the Campo has only par 69.
In very hilly terrain, accompanied by old trees are these Bucas. The up and down provides beautiful views and views, but also for effort. The first nine are more exhausting, the second nine are completely in the forest.
Since 1993, we come back again and were never disappointed. Care and maintenance is very good, the clubhouse is great.
Worth a visit just because of the clubhouse - would write Jeff Barr.
It's true, there are golf clubs that you should put under monument protection. Villa d'Este is one of them.

A dream of space
Reviewed June 18, 2017
Already at the drive you would be spoiled! Access only with registration and the driveway recalls old English Parkland courses.
Everything very stylish and for Italy already almost pretentious. The place is visually an eyewitness and one must already play exactly in order not to lose too many balls. Unfortunately we had on 13.6.2017 as a three-flight flight in front of us a four-man Australian flight, which with almost 6 hours of play, did not let us play. But otherwise unclouded golfing experience of the first class.
Greenfee for three inclusive carts 440 €, absolutely ok with this place and everything is offered. Friendly staff and especially the Caddy Master extremely competent and friendly.
Handicap improved by 0.4, which one wants more.
We will be back, guaranteed!

Fancy
Reviewed April 27, 2017
A golf course of the old school. Ideally located in an old castle park. Exciting from the first to the last tee! Loose Atmossphäre and uncrowded. Great food in the club restaurant. There are also small apartments for residential right on the golf course. Come back a MUST!
PS. Green fee rates as opposed to the Swiss neighbors in Ascona so very fair!!

Great parkland course with distinction
Reviewed November 24, 2015
Villa D'Este is one of the top courses in Italy. The fact that here is steeped in history, you could tell in the beautiful entrance to the clubhouse. The service is good and on a Friday in September was pleasant little operation.
The place has a great design is wonderfully embedded in the hilly wooded countryside and has several holes that remain fresh in our minds. As usual with parkland courses, the course plays more closely and still relatively long.
The only negative point was the very very soft fairways. According to Italian players was the fact that it had a few days earlier very heavy rain and by the many trees needed the space for a long time to dry. It was therefore naturally a snapshot, but I'll probably never play the course in winter. In good conditions but definitely a wonderful experience.

My favorite place on Lake Como

An absolute dream. Everything perfect. The place is difficult and abwechumgsreich. The clubhouse stands above the 18th hole. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I have played the course the 2nd time and will play him again. Never seen such beautiful cabins. On the terrace you can enjoy very delicious food and drinks. You really should not get up. A must on Lake Como!!!

Mansion on old golf course
Reviewed October 4, 2011
The varied course requires accurate play otherwise the score rises to new heights. The manicured fairways can be reached by equally beautiful haircuts. The greens were on our visit not quite as fast, but still tracks properly. The 1923-built space shows up on the second 9 holes even more beautiful than on the first section, since no traffic is heard. The reception at the club was very friendly and helpful! Worth mentioning is the extremely dignified clubhouse, which gives the entire system has its own charm. An inviting terrace completes the game. (Played 3:10:11 HCP 11)

Old times
Reviewed August 29, 2011
A very challenging course that requires a great frustration tolerance also by experienced golfers. The teiweise breathtaking views of the surroundings of Lake Como vote yet forgiving. Unfortunately the greens were sanded slightly bumpy and fresh on our lap. The semi-roughs are mowed aureichend so many balls remain untraceable even in the semi. It drive around many Marshalls, but not intervene when inexperienced players delaying the game mode too bad.
It is worth mentioning the reception and the clubhouse, which put us back to earlier times: a young man is to unload the golf bags assist the club sets are cleaned after the round and the pockets worn again and loaded up the car.
Considered-as the green fee charge will be in the local very high compared to behold.

Fantastically beautiful place
Reviewed October 18, 2010
This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever played! The course is in top condition, very nice into the landscape with a very beautiful old trees, not just the wider fairways makes the game very interesting.
The service is very good - a caddy carries the bag and puts it down on the trolley, after someone comes round to clean the bat.
The green fee weekdays with over EUR 100 Although quite high, but the place is really worth it!
There are many beautiful places in the area, but this is one that has its own character, whose sake you want to come back.
