Golf Club Castelconturbia

Golf Club Castelconturbia stands among the icons of Italian golf. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1984, it sits between Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta in the heart of Piedmont’s tranquil countryside. The setting is pure northern Italy, where alpine air meets rolling parkland and ancient woodlands. Castelconturbia’s blend of design precision, natural beauty, and impeccable conditioning has earned it continuous recognition among the best courses in Europe.

The twenty seven hole championship layout flows through mature forests and open valleys with elevation changes that create variety and visual drama. Wide fairways invite bold play, but Trent Jones’s trademark bunkering and tiered greens demand strategy and skill. The course offers three distinct nine hole loops, allowing for multiple configurations, each delivering a fresh yet consistent challenge.

Cypress and Salt curates Castelconturbia escapes that capture the essence of Italian sophistication. Guests enjoy lakeside or countryside villas, curated wine and truffle experiences, and day trips through the vineyards of Piedmont. Castelconturbia is golf artistry defined by balance and beauty, a sanctuary of design and detail beneath the northern Italian sky.
