Arzaga Golf Club: Golfing Excellence on Lake Garda
Nestled among the gentle moraine hills of Calvagese della Riviera, a short distance from Desenzano, the’Arzaga Golf Club is one of Europe's most prestigious golf destinations. This exclusive club boasts a rare feature: the presence of two courses designed by world golfing legends, Jack Nicklaus II and Gary Player, making it a must for any enthusiast visiting the Garda area.
The Routes: 27 Holes Signed by Champions
The Arzaga Golf Club is distinguished by the high quality of its maintenance and the technical variety of its courses, suitable for both professionals and amateur golfers wishing to improve their handicap in an extraordinary landscape setting.
Jack Nicklaus II Route (18 Holes)
This 18-hole course is a classic “Parkland” course characterised by wide fairways and highly protected greens.

The views of the surrounding hills make every hole a visual as well as a sporting experience.
Gary Player Course (9 Holes)
The 9-hole course designed by Gary Player recalls the style of the famous Scottish “Links”, with deep bunkers and a design that requires great skill in the short game.
