Golf: For the avid
golfer there are many courses in Lombardia. Como itself
is encased by mountains and does not have many serious
courses. Villa D'Este Golf Club - Via Cantu 13, 22030
Montorfano (CO) - Lake Como - Italy5585 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.
Monticello Golf Club - Via Volta 4, 22070 Cassina Rizzardi
(CO) - Lake Como - Italy 6376 m, Par 73 - 6056 m, Par
72. The wonderful lake Como, a few miles down the road,
makes this a great spot for a week-end or longer holiday.
The course is laid out in a plain lined with little
copses and with the Alps as a backdrop.
