The Golf Club Castell'Arquato course: 18 holes between Piacenza and Parma
The Piacenza tourist board describes the course as 18 holes in a lovely green valley, 220 metres above sea level, across 64 hectares of countryside about a dozen kilometres from Piacenza and close to the medieval village of Castell'Arquato. The layout is a par 73 of 6,052 metres, with five lakes that come into play.
The design is attributed to Cotton & Pennink. The same source presents it as suitable for both experienced golfers and beginners.
The club does not publish a hole-by-hole description: for the official scorecard and pin positions, it is best to ask the office.
