The Golf Club Cervino course: 18 holes at 2,050 metres
The club presents itself as Italy's highest 18-hole course and one of the highest in Europe, at 2,050 metres in Breuil-Cervinia, in the municipality of Valtournenche. The course measures about 5,300 metres with a par of 69, a layout shorter than average that the altitude nonetheless makes distinctive.
The design is the work of Donald Harradine, the architect the club names as the course's designer in the early 1950s. The website speaks of a unique natural setting, with the Gran Becca, the Matterhorn, as a backdrop.
On the course page each hole is described with an interactive map; for hole-by-hole distances and pars it is best to consult it or ask the club office.
