Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf Club
About this course
Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf Club sits on the western shore of Lake Como in northern Italy, approximately 35 kilometers north of the city of Como. The club was established in 1907, making it one of the oldest golf courses in Italy. The original nine holes were designed by British architect John Harris, with a second nine added later to create the current 18-hole layout. The course occupies elevated terrain above the town of Menaggio, with the routing taking advantage of the hillside topography between the lake and the surrounding mountains. The layout plays across varied terrain, with holes moving through wooded areas and open sections that provide views across Lake Como toward the eastern shore and the Grigne mountain range. The elevation changes are significant throughout the round, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and requiring careful club selection. The course measures relatively short by modern standards, but the slopes and natural contours create strategic interest and demand accurate shot placement rather than length. The club maintains a traditional character reflective of its early 20th-century origins, with a clubhouse that has served members and visitors for over a century. The setting combines the alpine landscape of the Italian lakes region with the architectural heritage of courses built during the early expansion of golf across continental Europe. The course remains a destination for golfers visiting the Lake Como area, offering a round in a historic mountain setting distinct from the links and parkland courses found elsewhere in Europe.
