I Roveri Golf & Sports Club

Italy, North Italy, Turin
4.8 (4)
Designer: Robert Trent Jones
Course Opened: 1971

The I Roveri Golf Club, located outside of Turin in Northern Italy, is a fairly typical American style country club, designed by Robert Trent Jones in the early 1970s and with an apparent focus more on lakes and water features than natural and appealing golf. Not that the holes are bad, but the shaping is dated and the fairways are flat meaning the golf struggles to really excite the senses. The flatness of the fairways tends to accentuate the unnaturalness of the mounding, Jones and his team doing a better job of the sprawling sand shapes and some of the more courageous green complexes. One exception is the big double green shared by the 18th and the par three 9th which doesn't work particularly well and seems a little unsafe.

This isn't a poor course, but it doesn't reach any great heights and is best recommended for visitors who are already in this part of Italy.
