at the Betulle are always pleasantly surprised at the beautiful natural
surroundings; The views are splendid: the morainic Serra hill to the
left, the foothills of the Alps which seem to form the boundary of the
Biella Golf Club. The 18-hole "Betulle" course, which is rated as one of the ten best courses in Italy, is situated at an altitude of about 600 metres
above sea level. It was designed in 1957 by the English architect John
Morrison. A natural course, of high technical calibre, for many years
the club hosted the prestigious "Lancia D'Oro" Trophy where the top
European professionals played. The Club's amenities also include an
elegant guesthouse with 20 rooms for golfing enthusiasts who also enjoy a peaceful country holiday.
Comment from Peugeot Golf Guide
Biella
has made a name for Italian design. It is also the site of one of the
more discreet but also one of the greatest golf courses in the whole of
Italy, a course where architectural design plays second fiddle to the
beauty of the landscape and terrain that were just made for golf. Yet it
still took the designer skills of John Morrison to perfect the
chemistry.
The course has since been lengthened to meet the demands of the modern
game, but unless you have the technique of a budding champion, we would
recommend the normal tees to avoid needless suffering. There is a very
British feel to this course, which brings strategically located bunkers
into play, along with diabolic ditches and no end of oak, chestnut and
birch trees. Add to all this a remarkable touch of variety and you'll
realize that here, sobriety does not necessarily mean monotony. All in
all, a great test of golf in superb surroundings, but maybe a little too
tough for inexperienced players.
