The 100th Anniversary is not a milestone, it’s an affirmation.
One hundred years of history define Circolo Golf Villa d’Este as one of Italy’s most iconic golf clubs, consolidating its international standing. “Heritage Made Contemporary” is the principle guiding this journey: preserving a century-old tradition and bringing it to life in present times through an authentic narrative shaped by people, sport and culture.
The Events of the 100th Anniversary
The 100th Anniversary events are conceived as a coherent system, in which each occasion contributes to enhancing both the past and present of the Club. The Italian International Amateur Championships, among the most prestigious amateur tournaments in Europe, the historic Targa d’Oro, the Pro-Am and the Centenary Celebration reserved for members and friends of the Club, together with the Legends’ Exhibition – the most awaited event of these celebrations – represent the key moments of the season.
