The
green foot-hills of the Alps are a splendid setting for this course
situated 12 kilometres from the charming old city of Bergamo Alta, the
jewel of Lombardy for art and medieval architecture.
Set
amid luxuriant vegetation of conifers and broad-leafed trees which give
a pleasantly cool climate even in summer, the Golf Club L’Albenza was
established thirty years ago and is one of the best competition courses
demanding and at the same time set in beautiful countryside.
Originally
an 18-hole course, another 9 have since been added giving a course
which is difficult in parts with a number of rather small well-progected
greens, heavily wooded areas and streams. Special mention should be
made of the seeral par 4 holes with fairways of over 400 metres and high
greens.

If
we consider the "blue" and "yellow" 9-hole courses to be the 18-hole
championship course, the "red" course is an excellent alternative to
both and adds a little more spice to a layout that is pretty hot as it
is, in particular on account of the par 4s and the par 5s that are tough
to reach in two. Talking of spice, variety is certainly one of the key
assets of "L'Albenza", which winds its way now though the woods, now
over open space, alternating short and long holes, or target golf and
the more British bump and run approach. YOu often have to work the ball
one way or the other or an easier shot at the greens, and club choice
requires careul thinking. This is a very "educational" course, judging
by the career and very complete game of Costantino Rocca, who started
off here as a caddie before becoming one of the world's best golfers. A
colourful figure, Rocca could easily have figured in the "Commedia
dell'Arte" which, as it happens, was founded in Bergamo.
