Golf Des Iles Borromées
DESCRIPTION
A Course built in a natural and uncontaminated environment and situated 500 meters above sea level, with a southerly exposure, fresh in summer and sunny in winter. But above all you will be enchanted by natural flora. The silver birches follow the players along the entire Course; you will also find Pine, Fir and Larch together with Oak, Holm Oak and Chestnut trees with the particular Thuyas of Mikado along the 12th hole. Rhododendrons and azaleas in spring, brooms in summer and heaths in autumn complete the typical prealpi landscape with some areas protected with an environmental bond.
The Course Par 72 has been designed to suit the natural environment in which it has been placed. The obstacles in every hole are not built, but have been there for centuries and used to create an amusing and also challenging course. Each hole has it’s own beauty, the shortest hole (hole 5) for example is a par 3 of 150 meters uphill and the green is well protected by bunkers, the longest par 5 (hole 11) is 525 meters and is reachable in two shots only by the more powerful players.
