Situated
close to the hills on the western side of lake Garda, Golf Bogliaco
(18 holes) lies in a basin at an altitude of 100 metres, covered with
oleander, laurel, cypresses, olive trees and other plants typical of Mediterranean
vegetation.
The raised position gives a splendid view over almost the full
length of the lake and the mountains which surround it. The decidedly
mild climate offers the possibility of playing all year round.
In 1912 Golf Bogliaco was created thanks to the enterprise of a hotel
owner in order to satisfy the demands of increasing tourism from
England and Germany, becoming the third golf course in Italy.
Since then its fairways have
followed the course of history: first it was patronised by sovereigns
and important personages; in 1928 for reasons of state the course was
transformed into a wheat field, then it was used as a runway for aeroplanes
by German troops and then by the Americans, who played baseball there.
Its was once again brought into use as a golf course in 1953, the beginning
of a second youth in this historic saga.
From the first modest building in 1912, made up of two rooms alone, one
for the bags and one for the bar, the Club House has
been progressively extended and transformed into the comfortable
and hospitable complex to be found today, perfectly integrated
within the splendid surrounding countryside. Players and visitors to Golf
Bogliaco are welcomed to a warm and friendly environment
where everyone does his best to make visitors feel at their ease.
