Golf Club Villa D’Este
the excellence of Villa D’Este moves onto the green
It is not a coincidence that the famous historic hotel located in Cernobbio and the golf course at Montorfano have the same name. In 1909 the owners of the Villa d’Este hotel decided to create an elegant golf course permitting their clientele to practice a sport that even at the time was considered an elitist activity, but the first course did not meet with success. However, in 1925 after the First World War, large numbers of American tourists invaded the Lake Como area and enthused with a desire to have post-war fun stayed in the hotel. So, a Golf Club was created by the hotel’s owners that went on to become host to royalty, nobles and the international jet set. Today, other than the club’s 18 holes, there is a shop, a restaurant, a lodge and a golf academy; all immersed in a park of breathtaking beauty.
