The par 70 of the Menaggio and Cadenabbia Golf Club says something of the course, while short by modern standards it requires precision and careful thought. The simple length printed on the card does begin to describe the fascinating and unique nature of the ground, the obvious challenges and subtle difficulties, of the narrow fairways and the steep inclines.
While the length of the course explains why the course has never, and probably never will be, a venue of International Opens. The attractiveness of being among the "open" courses is not one of the worries of the club, which prefers discretion. This club only needs its history, the friendly profile of the lake, the narrow holes amongst the trees and the back drop of the Central Alps.
112 anni di fascino puro, in un luogo magico
Non troverete un campo moderno, pensato alle nuove attrezzature ma una sfida di tattica e colpi che vanno pensati, dal primo all’ultimo.

Menaggio e Cadenabbia
Mooie bosbaan in de bergen met uitzicht op het Comomeer. Vanwege de enorme regenbui en onweer moesten we ons rondje onderbreken waardoor we heerlijk Italiaans hebben kunnen lunchen. Baan lag er mooi bij. Redelijk rechttoe rechtaan. Door de hoogteverschillen en mooie omgeving genoten van de 18 holes. Geen spijt van het huren van de buggy ;).

Menaggio e Cadenabbia
Very exciting course, beautifully plotted in the hills with views over Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. Good greens, with very subtle breaks - don't expect to make every 3-4 footer or get every chip close to the hole!
The clubhouse offers a very cosy terrace next to the 18th green, or inside a great view over the surroundings.
At 75 euros, this is a bargain.
