Golf in Piedmont
35 courses
Piedmont combines hills, lakes and an Alpine skyline with a solid golfing tradition. At La Mandria, in Turin, Edoardo and Francesco Molinari grew up, going from here to two Ryder Cups and, in 2018, to the Claret Jug.
Also within the La Mandria reserve, beside the Reggia di Venaria, Royal Park I Roveri has 36 holes designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr for the Agnelli family. At Fondotoce the course runs flat beside Lake Maggiore and can also be reached by train; at Boves, the Bisalta finishes at the 18th hole.
