Golf Club Madesimo ☆ Follow

Golf Club Madesimo is a unique six-hole mountain course located at an altitude of 1,600 meters, operating seasonally from June to late September. The layout is designed with environmental respect and integrates with the surrounding ski slopes, offering a distinct high-altitude golfing experience. The course is situated in a suggestive alpine environment, surrounded by peaks often covered in snow even in mid-summer, and is home to local wildlife such as marmots. The course consists of two par-4 holes and four par-3 holes, with a total par of 26. Since 2022, the back tees for the first three holes have been homologated for official play. During competitions, the six holes are played twice to create a nine-hole equivalent loop, utilizing specific hole combinations to reach a total of nine distinct playing segments. The driving range is located near the clubhouse and is protected by an anti-avalanche barrier. Hole 1 is a 210-meter par-4 featuring a light dog-leg to the right. The fairway has a steep slope from right to left, and the elevated green is surrounded by out-of-bounds areas and a small bunker. Hole 2 is a 141-meter par-3 that is narrow and tricky, with out-of-bounds running along the entire right side and a water obstacle at the rear of the green. Hole 3, a 133-meter par-3, is described as a beautiful mountain hole that rewards accurate shots, with a water obstacle on the right and a larch forest on the left. Hole 4 is a 136-meter par-3 with a significant height difference of about 30 meters between the tee and the green. A lateral water obstacle runs the length of the left side, and players must be cautious of the ski lift cables. Hole 5 is a short 111-meter par-3 that plays slightly uphill, featuring a lateral water hazard on the right and a steep slope behind the green that can make ball retrieval difficult. The final hole, Hole 6, is a 233-meter par-4 with a dog-leg to the right and a strong slope. A small stream flows along the right side for the entire length, and the green is wide and fast with a pronounced rise on the right side.
