A.S.D. Golf Club Bergamo L’Albenza (Blu/Giallo)

Overview: Located in the rolling foothills of the Orobie Alps near Bergamo, Italy, the Blu/Giallo combination at Golf Club Bergamo L'Albenza is an 18-hole parkland course designed by British architect Charles Kenneth Cotton. Winding through a mature forest of ancient oak, chestnut, and acacia trees, the layout features significant elevation changes, narrow fairways, and small greens protected by deep bunkers.

History: Established in 1961, the club was founded by local industrialists to introduce golf to the Bergamo region. Cotton routed the 18 holes to fit organically into the undulating topography, preserving the mature forest and natural stone outcroppings. The course has hosted the Italian Open on the European Tour in 1996 and has served as a center for Northern Italian competitive golf.

Did You Know? The course is set in a silent, protected valley where the dramatic mountain backdrop of the Orobie Alps provides a constant, spectacular visual framing. The club's historic stone clubhouse is designed to mirror the traditional rural architecture of Lombardy, featuring local stone walls and terracotta tiled roofs.
