Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf Club

Menaggio & Cadenabbia is a living monument to golf on Lake Como. Founded in the early twentieth century under strong British influence, it still preserves a dry, almost alpine elegance that sets it apart from more theatrical — and often more predictable — resort experiences. The course climbs and falls above the lake, offering holes of real character, quick greens and a constant dialogue between the game and the landscape. You do not come here merely to score well; you come to step into a tradition shaped by a historic clubhouse, discreet rituals and a powerful sense of place. Yardage is not overwhelming, but inaccuracy is punished and approach play requires imagination. Beyond the gates, Lake Como itself deepens the experience: villas, boats, grand hotels and a quality of light that shifts by the hour. Menaggio is old-world golf at its most persuasive, blending Italian charm with unmistakable British discipline.
