A golf course dedicated to the Wine cellars of Franciacorta
The Franciacorta Golf Club is situated in the heart of Franciacorta in the province of Brescia inbetween vine clad hills at about 185m above sea level south of the Iseo Lake, and forms part of a comprehensive network of nine prestigious golf courses within an area with less than 100km distance between them.
The Franciacorta Golf Club, was inaugurated in 1986, developed from a project by Pete Dye and Marco Croze, and has grown to become the splendid and well manicured course that it is today. It is characterized by forest, lakes and a spectacular panorama of the nearby vineyards of Franciacorta that surround it.
It is an environment made to measure for sporting and dynamic families, a splendid green oasis which boasts fauna worthy of a natural park, all surrounding a gently winding rise and fall course with greens that encircle the large artificial 50.000 square metre lake at its centre. The technical characteristics of the Franciacorta Golf Club, as agreed upon by both the Pros and amateurs who frequent the course, are of particular interest given the charm and personality that surrounds every single hole. The circular layout was constructing in this way on purpose to allow the course to grow and become an integral part of the prestigious golfing establishments in the world today.
Being positioned in the region of Franciacorta, famous for its high quality wine production, and thanks to a close collaboration with the Wine Cellars of Franciacorta and the Franciacorta Wine Consortium, the Franciacorta Golf Club hosts 3 nine hole courses called Brut, Saten and Rosè after the most famous types of wine produced here.
