Molinetto Country Club : Finished in 1983, the Italian Open already took place here in 1985. Ballesteros and Chapman played here. It is a typical flat course, complicated by narrow fairways, which force to play precisely.
Golf Club Villa Paradiso : The 18 hole course was created by the designer Franco Pira, to be a real championship course measuring 6.606 meters. The course has 5 lakes that are strategically placed to give the holes an elevated technical content as well as great length.
