Golf
The majestic mountains of Piedmont are not only the perfect setting for classic winter sports like skiing, but are equally ideal for a sport that is constantly gaining in popularity – golf. Golfers value style and casual elegance, and are ever ready to travel to find new courses offering different playing experiences, as well as the pleasure of discovering new places and people. Piedmont possesses no less than five of the best golf courses in Italy: these include the Royal Park course in the Mandria Park; the highest 18 hole course in Europe at Sestriere; not to mention the magnificent course on the shores of Lake Maggiore, with its unforgettable views over the water. And Piedmont can be justly proud of the latest addition to this wealth of golfing opportunities:the recently opened Golf Feudo course at Valdeperno, between Asti and Settime, which has been designed by Canadian golfer, Graham Cooke. With its 18 holes over 5 kilometres, the course is set on rolling hills in the grounds of an eighteenth century villa.
