Golf Club Villa Paradiso

The Championship course, also called the White, is a par-72 parkland (36 out, 36 back) that measures 6,583 metres from the Championship tees. It was designed by Franco Piras and the club describes it as very technical because of its five lakes and numerous bunkers; every hole has five tees, so even less powerful players find their own measure.

The official hole descriptions, edited by Cristian Fiora, line up the hazards. On the 3rd, a 481-metre par 5, a large lake runs down the left along the whole landing area. The 4th, a right dog-leg with out of bounds on the left from tee to green, is the hardest hole (handicap 1). On the 8th, a left dog-leg par 4, you aim at a willow at the end of the fairway to avoid a long lake, and a 50-metre stream cuts across the hole. On the 13th, handicap 2, the lake lies in front of the green. The 7th, at 189 metres, is the longest par 3. The 17th, an uphill par 5, has a winding route with a beach bunker; the 18th closes with a par 4 whose elevated tee overlooks the whole hole.

The club also has the Blue Course, a 9-hole par-3 executive (par 27, 1,042 metres from the men's tees) with greens guarded by bunkers and both downhill and uphill shots.

The course came about at the wish of Aldo Valtellina, who at the time also owned Golf Club Is Molas in Sardinia. The club says the course was immediately awarded best newly built course. Since November 2019 it has been managed by the Gruppo Colombo (CO.GE.FIN.), which acquired the club in mid-October 2020 and also runs the Golf Brianza Country Club and the Golf Borgo di Camuzzago.

The practice area, next to the clubhouse, has a driving range with 28 covered bays, a putting green and a chipping area. The clubhouse has changing rooms, a bar-restaurant (the Tee19), a meeting room and a TV room. The golf school has four teachers, Cristian Fiora, Nicola Grappasonni, Gianfranco Ripamonti and Lorenzo Borleri, and a Youth Club. The calendar consists mostly of national-circuit events: on 20 September 2026 the Coppa del Presidente was played, an 18-hole Medal.

• Same owner as Is Molas. The client Aldo Valtellina also owned the Sardinian golf club at the time.
• Designed with the Italian Open in mind. The club says the course was conceived to be able to host the tournament.
• A willow as a target. On the 8th the tee shot is aimed at a willow at the end of the fairway.
• Five lakes, five tees. Every hole can be played from five different tees.
• A 50-metre stream. On the 8th it links two lakes, cutting across the hole.
