Our take
There is honest climbing at Golf Club Bologna, a good 160 metres of it, through a 1959 Cotton and Harris parkland freshened by Peter Alliss and trusted with the Italian Amateur many times.
- Serious golfersCards tend to come unstuck at the 6th and the 13th, with water waiting on four holes and the rest of the defence coming from trees, slopes and the mix of open and tree lined driving holes.
- Higher handicapsThe round climbs a good 160 metres over the day, so this is a proper leg stretch rather than a stroll. Play it early in the trip while everyone is fresh.
- SocietiesA well maintained classic that has staged the Italian Amateur many times, generous enough in its open stretches to keep a mixed group moving, with those panoramic views doing the talking at the turn.
Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.
What you are actually facing
The walk. Moderate. 161 metres of climb over the round.
The wind. The wind is usually south-westerly, averaging 8 km/h. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.
The water. 4 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.
The design. Ken Cotton and John Harris.
The holes that will cost you. The 6th, the 13th and the 3rd. The 6th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
