Nice short course
Reviewed June 19, 2023
GC Continental Verbania - Par 61. Is for in between.
Actually a nice place that is more difficult than you initially think. The pitch was a bit deep, mainly due to the heavy rain in the days before. Stupid even if the red and yellow water markings are not in front of the water but IN the water 💦 😏 Nevertheless, the course was reasonably easy to play. Presumably he would have heard but another day blocked.
There is no clubhouse. Just a small wooden hut for the reception.
You can play it for fun, but you don't have to.
The course will soon be converted into a PAR69 course. That can still be something 😊

Unfortunately gone bad
Reviewed September 28, 2022
At the end of September 2022 the condition of the place is pitiful. Tees from either artificial turf or weeds. Half of the fairways broken, turf washed away or destroyed by wild boars, the greens partly unplayable for a third. You could attribute it all to the weather and hope for improvement.
However, the new round concept makes no sense at all. A short 9-hole course used to be nice to play and a pitch+putt course with 9 lanes around 100m was good for beginners or for training. Both courses are now combined into 18 holes, which means that neither beginners nor advanced golfers have fun playing.
We have played the course more often in the past. If the concept stays that way, we won't be coming back.

Nice short course for the round in between
Reviewed October 30, 2021
If you expect a large course with appropriate lengths, want to improve your driver game or expect a clubhouse in the style of a villa, then it is better to avoid this course. We, on the other hand, were very impressed by the short round in between during our hiking holiday.
The secretariat, like everything else, is housed in a barrack that looks rather makeshift. We received a friendly welcome and the employee could understand and explain everything in English. You have to know that, contrary to the current information at 1golf, the concept has changed insofar as the holes of the former short course have been mixed with those of the larger parcous. So if you only play the first 9 holes, you will first play 5 very short par 3s and when you pick up the momentum it's over. The only par 5 is now 13 and the 9 longer holes are played from 6 to 14. You can play all 18 holes in under 3 hours and practice your iron strokes very well. There are some water hazards that make the otherwise flat fairways varied. Of course you can complain a little about the maintenance status and the acoustics are not perfect everywhere (street, train, quarry), but you can simply subtract a point and simply enjoy the rest. Or you can play in Ascona or Losone for € 120 and more green fees instead of paying more than a fair € 35.

Advanced pitch and putt
Reviewed June 16, 2021
We played on the first day of the holiday and had fun on many par 3 and a few longer holes, also a par 5. Condition tip top, tees are still partly new. Would play here again but not again. 18-hole green fee = day pass.

... well
Reviewed August 23, 2020
Condition very weak, for the purpose of Corona the 9-hole short courses and the actual 9-hole course are completely cut, we played 1-5 par 3 and 6-8 par 4 and 9 par 3!!!
Absolute joke! I think the "normal 9-hole course" is ok, the parkland environment would be there, and the completely flat course offers beautiful views of the surrounding peaks!
Care - a joke - Bahnen Covid19 tour - a joke! Hence 2 stars

Nice place
Reviewed August 21, 2016
We played this nice place in August (several times). The driving range is sufficiently large and is centrally located (Putting green also) outside the club building (a little more than a wooden hut). The Secretariat was very nice and friendly (German Speaking). The course is flat and can play easily. E-Cart is not absolutely necessary. The haircuts and the greens were in good condition. After the round, a snack or pasta can be taken to court yourself. The snacks were tasty and good value.

Nice and convenient place, good for beginners
Reviewed May 21, 2015
We can confirm the previous reviews. The course is not very long with 4.800m. Only a par 5 and all fairways quite broad. This very good for beginners. The Pflegzustand was good, the greens fast and directional stability. Sometimes the train or the granite quarry interferes, but otherwise very nice to play. The staff is very nice and has been awarded the convenient kitchen. We'll definitely be back.

Very scenic
Reviewed August 20, 2014
The Club is beautifully situated, though the entrance to the club is very hidden, since only a small sign with an arrow on a gravel road to the main road indicating.
The staff in the club house was super friendly and very helpful and spoke German well.
We were lucky that we were on the spot early, as we wanted an e-cart and there are only three Carts, because you can be unlucky.
The place is very good to play, feasible with any handicap.
It is recommended in any case very much if you're in the area and want to play a little round of golf holiday.
The restaurant had very good pasta at very reasonable prices and the staff were super courteous and friendly.

Easy Place
Reviewed June 29, 2013
We have played this course with our boys. Since it is very simple, this was ideal for them. It's all flat, clear and not very long.

Good for beginners
Reviewed September 19, 2012
The place is ideal for golf beginners, overall very easy to play, very flat and rather short fairways. Certainly not the big challenge for the experienced player, but quite ok for a short holiday round. Care condition quite ok but not great. Corresponds quite closely to the low green fees. Few people in the square, so very relaxed.

Nice and good spontaneous service
Reviewed March 30, 2011
Today we were in Verbania and wanted to play a game. Wednesday is a rest day there, the restaurant was closed so and changing because of the construction work is not in operation.
As far as the situation. But then the extremely positive.
The club manager offered us still to play. An e-cart was also on hand. It's a nice feeling to have a place to yourself.
A nice service. Gladly again at any time. That was a nice afternoon golf. For all € 60.00. It's worth it. Recommended for beginners and Midhandicapper.

The place is not easy to find and if you do not know that a GC is here, he is also making jmd on Lake vacation for 20 years does not "see". The place is very well maintained and ideal for short ne cozy holiday round of golf for niedrighandikaper almost too easy. The staff is nice, the green fee is quite reasonable if one compares it with Ascona and losone extemgünstig. 9 holes we have 20 paid € and 2 € yes Fact 2 € for pulling trolley.

Very familiar place. Favorably
Reviewed March 3, 2010
The place is very hard to find a lack of signage. This one is very well compensated by the landscape.
The sanitary facilities and clubhouse are very simple. This one speaks German, management is very nice and the green fee is relatively cheap. The only Cart was broken.
On the driving range only Matt reductions were possible. The largest part is not covered and the operation of the ball machine is a bit strange. The putting green is relatively small and sophisticated.
The 9-hole executive is good because the scenery is just everywhere and you can practice very nice for beginners. I did not play as a rookie, since a water obstacle is too wide for me the great 9 hole course.
It is played very disciplined and keep to very strict to the etiquette.
All in all, the 9-hole executive course for beginners with ripening very well to practice. The great 9 hole is relatively long and technically savvy players probably too easy.
