Golf Club Dolomiti

Golf Club Dolomiti sits in the alpine village of Sarnonico in Italy's Trentino-Alto Adige region, positioned at approximately 1,200 meters elevation in the Non Valley. The course was designed by Michel Niedbala and Luca Borzaga and occupies terrain that reflects the dramatic topography characteristic of this part of the Italian Alps. The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and mountain landscape, with the Dolomite peaks providing a distinctive backdrop throughout the round. The design works within the constraints and opportunities of alpine golf, where the growing season is shorter and the terrain more pronounced than at lower elevations. The layout incorporates the existing contours and vegetation typical of this altitude, with holes that move through meadowland and wooded sections. Players encounter changes in elevation that affect both strategy and club selection, and the mountain setting means weather conditions can shift quickly and influence play significantly. The course serves both local members and visiting golfers drawn to the region's combination of alpine recreation and golf. The club operates within the seasonal rhythms of mountain life, typically open from late spring through autumn. Sarnonico itself is a small community in a valley known more broadly for apple cultivation and access to hiking and skiing, making the golf course part of a wider network of outdoor activities available in this section of the Dolomites.
