5585 m, Par 69. The Villa d'Este Golf Club lies beyond the wonderful lake of Montorfano in a splendid setting in the sunny Brianza. The course is situated at a height of 1200 feet in what may well be described as a Scottish landscape. Golfers will find play pleasant even in the heat of August. The 18 holes wend their way between chestnut groves, birch and pine woods. It is considered one of the most varied and difficult of the European "par 69" courses. This is borne out by the number of important international tournaments held at the Villa d'Este each year. The 2-storey club house has views over some of the holes and the lake of Montorfano.
