Arzaga Golf Club sits between the Alps and Lake Garda in northern Italy, so you get big mountain views, warm lakeside air and a setting that feels a world away from the day job. It is a cracking spot if your group wants real holiday scenery without any drop in the quality of the golf.
You have 27 holes to play, split across layouts by Jack Nicklaus II and Gary Player, a major champion turned world-class architect. That is the big win here. You can mix and match nine-hole loops instead of playing the same test on repeat, which makes it ideal for a three or four night stay where you want round two and round three to feel meaningfully different.
Expect a change of pace from one loop to the next, with each design asking different questions off the tee and into the greens. Mixed-ability groups can enjoy it, while the better players still get shots to hit. Between rounds, Lake Garda is on the doorstep for lunch, a glass of local wine and an easy Italian evening.
Who is this for?
Golfers planning a Lake Garda break who want standout scenery and enough holes on site to keep a three or four round trip feeling fresh.
Who is it best for?
Mixed-ability groups, couples and societies who like variety under one roof and want a relaxed Italian base with high-profile course design from Nicklaus II and Player.
