Bogogno (Bonora)

Bogogno Golf Club, or Circolo Golf Bogogno, is one of Europe’s most impressive 36-hole golf resorts. With two contrasting Robert von Hagge-designed courses, Del Conte and Bonora, it’s a destination well worth knowing.

Located less than an hour’s drive to the northwest of Milan, Bogogno is set in the foothills of the Monte Rosa Massif mountain range close to the Swiss border and both courses utilise the undulating topography spectacularly… what else would you expect from an architect of von Hagge’s flair?

Bogogno was inaugurated in 1997 and Robert von Hagge’s original course was then split in two when he designed 18 further holes on adjacent land. Each course – Del Conte and Bonora – utilises 9 holes from the original design. The Bonora course is longer and more technically challenging than its neighbouring course. Water hazards are prevalent and, as we’ve already mentioned, the going is rather hilly in places.
