Golf Pinerolo & Pragelato

Golf Pragelato is a looped nine-hole course, par 36 (72 over two rounds) and 2,876 metres, carved out of the plain at the start of the Val Troncea, on the line of the Olympic cross-country track. It lies between 1,550 and 1,590 metres, but the club stresses that the total elevation change is only 40 metres: a mountain course without extreme slopes, within reach of an averagely fit player.

Out of play, the rough of pasture and grasses has been left, which according to the club recalls the dune courses of golf's origins; the trees are mainly larches, birches, aspens and willows. The work was funded by the Piedmont Region.

The holes bear the names of species of the Val Troncea Site of Community Importance. Number 2, La Salamandra, is a 148-metre par 3 to be played over the Chisone; number 3, Il Gallo Forcello, is the hole with the most elevation change, with the green at 1,590 metres; number 5, Il Pino Uncinato, is a par 5 of about 510 metres alongside the cross-country track, with the green in an amphitheatre of larches ringed by a dry-stone wall. Alternatively, 5b, Lo Stambecco, a 140-metre downhill par 3, lets you vary the round. Number 9, Il Narciso, a 160-metre par 3, leads back to the clubhouse with two lines of play dictated by the larches.

The course is open from 29 May to 19 September, every day from dawn to dusk. In the price list published for 2027, the 18-hole green fee costs 50 euros on weekdays in June, July and September and 55 euros on Saturdays, public holidays and in August; for 9 holes you pay 35 and 40 euros. Members of Pinerolo and Le Rosine have reduced rates, Pragelato members pay nothing. The golf cart costs 35 euros for 18 holes and 25 for 9, a driving range token 2.50 euros. The club also offers a “take 6, pay for 5” package on carts and competitions.

For the season there is the season pass at 480 euros (FIG card not included). The course is at via Rohrbach 5, in the Plan hamlet: coming from Pinerolo, after Pragelato, in the Traverses hamlet turn left towards Val Troncea and the course is about 500 metres further on.

The Pragelato course belongs to Golf Pinerolo, a club founded in 2007 at Riva di Pinerolo, where it has a practice facility with 5 training holes and 28 hitting bays. Pragelato is its summer home, at altitude.

For practice: driving range, target green, a 400-square-metre natural putting green with 18 holes, approach area and bunker green.

The 2026 calendar includes, in September, the Coppa di Fine Estate, the final of the Trofeo Seniores Pinerolo Pragelato, the Campionati Pinerolesi individual championships and the Coppa della Patata.
