5 nights at Relais di Tenuta Santa Caterina and 2 green fees per person (Margara and Cavaglia Golf Club)

Founded in 1972 by Dr. Glauco Lolli Ghetti, today the Margara Golf Club is a renowned golf club both nationally and internationally. With two 18-hole championship courses, every year it welcomes tourists and professional golfers from all over the world. The oldest course, “Glauco Lolli Ghetti”, named after its founder, has a Parkland-type structure: it is surrounded by trees that are now imposing, has wide fairways that extend over the rolling hills of Monferrato and greens that put even the most experienced players to the test. The more recent “La Guazzetta” course, completed in 2006, is also 18 holes and has a more modern, links-style character, with wide bunkers that design the slopes and covers important distances. Margara has hosted 22 European Challenge Tours, 1 Italian Ladies Open and every year is the scene of several Italian National Championships. Technical Details Course : 18+18 holes, par 72/72, 6048/6176 meters Architect : Topography: Sometimes hilly landscape with some woods, sometimes flat Distinctive features: It has a varied topography that requires a good strategy from the player who must continually adapt his play to the landscape. Pro’s comments The two Margara courses have a great virtue. If you don’t face them from the furthest tees, they are entertaining and stimulating for all playing levels. The Glauco Lolli Ghetti 18-hole course hosted tournaments on the European Challenge Tour for 17 years and all the professionals have always given very positive reviews of the course. The amen corner (Holes 15, 16, 17,18) must be faced with great attention and respect: 4 very delicate holes that can ruin your score in no time. La Guazzetta is very long but also very wide except for Holes 10 and 11 where erring to the right is absolutely forbidden. A forest thick with water hazards is waiting there to receive your sliced shots. So be careful!!!!!

If you are looking for a home base for a quality golf tour in northwestern Italy, Cavaglia could be the answer. Easy to reach – very close to the A4 Milan-Turin motorway – it features an 18-hole course open all year round with a view of the Piedmont Prealps and the golf course, and offers the plus of having five other aristocratic and enjoyable courses in its vicinities. A match on this intriguing and fun course is equally enjoyable. Over the years, the Golf Club Cavaglia has grown in quality and number of holes. From its initial 6 holes in 1998, it increased to 9 with double tees in 1999, to which 6 executive holes were added in 2001. In 2014 work went underway to transform the land into one single 18-hole course, par 68, inaugurated in April 2015 with a Pro-Am tournament. Another point in the club’s favor is its proximity to the luxury brand outlets known throughout the world where the shopping urge can be unleashed: Ermenegildo Zegna, Gucci, Agnona, Piacenza, Loro Piana, Lanificio F.lli Cerruti are but a few of the leading names on the fashion catwalks with outlets directly in their factories or in The Place Luxury Outlet, 18 kilometers from the golf club. Technical Details Course : 18 holes, Par 68, 4857 m Architect : Giorgio Ferraris Topography : great location between the highways of Torino-Milano and Genova-Aosta Special features : sporty and sophisticated Pro’s comments Perfect for players who make precision their strength, Cavaglia is a very entertaining course. Since scoring a par or a birdie is a little easier, you can finish the day in a great mood. That’s why you mustn’t miss a round of golf at Cavaglia.
