Golf Club “The Blue Monster”

“The Blue Monster” is a 9-hole golf course and extends over 10.000 m² near the small village of Riva di Sotto

The typical landscape, characterised by mountains and apple trees, make this golf course something special. It was planned by star architect Thomas C. Himmel. Due to the extremely flat topography and the relatively high ground-water level the architect installed natural water areas as a determining factor. Moreover additional extensively managed areas complete the golf course and give a unique visual landscape.

One would think that the Blue Monster is only suited for pros but the many strategically placed tees are also playable for beginners.
