The Villa d’Este Golf Club presents its centenary calendar
100 years of history, excellence and vision for the future
The official launch of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Circolo Golf Villa d’Este, one of the most prestigious and historic clubs on the Italian golfing scene, took place yesterday during the press day.
Founded in 1926, the Villa d’Este Golf Club has been a leading name in national and international golf for a century, distinguished by its tradition, sporting excellence and scenic beauty. Situated in the hills overlooking Lake Como, the club is one of the oldest in Italy and has hosted no fewer than twelve editions of the Italian Open over the course of its history, confirming its status as a premier venue for top-class golf.
During the press conference, a packed programme of events was unveiled to mark the whole of 2026, a symbolic year for the club. The celebrations will include sporting competitions, official events and initiatives aimed at promoting the club’s history and heritage. Representatives from the Italian Golf Federation attended the presentation, including executives and members of the national coaching staff, underscoring the strong ties between the club and the Italian golfing community.
“This milestone represents not only a moment of celebration, but also an opportunity to look to the future with ambition and responsibility,” it was emphasised during the event. Over the course of a century of activity, the Circolo Golf Villa d’Este has made a significant contribution to the spread and growth of golf in Italy, welcoming generations of players and hosting competitions of international significance.
The centenary will therefore be a journey through history and innovation: an opportunity to tell a story of sport, culture and passion, and to reaffirm the club’s role as an ambassador for Italian golf around the world.
With its unique heritage and forward-looking vision, the Circolo Golf Villa d’Este is set to enjoy an extraordinary year, celebrating a century of excellence and laying the foundations for the next hundred.
