Colline del Gavi

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play Colline del Gavi for ideal conditions?

We've found late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) offers the perfect balance. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures for walking the course, and the vineyards surrounding you are either bursting with new growth or vibrant with harvest colors. Avoid the peak summer heat; it can make those uphill climbs a real slog.

What's the most unique challenge or memorable hole at Colline del Gavi?

The course truly lives up to its name, "Hills of Gavi." You'll encounter significant elevation changes, so be prepared for some uphill and downhill lies that demand precise club selection. The par-3 14th, with its dramatic downhill shot over a ravine, is a real stunner and a definite card-wrecker if you're not careful.

Can we easily combine a round at Colline del Gavi with wine tasting in the region?

Absolutely, it's practically a requirement! The Gavi wine region is right on your doorstep, and we highly recommend booking a tasting at a local producer after your round. Many excellent wineries are just a short drive away, offering a perfect way to unwind and savor the local culture.

Is Colline del Gavi a walkable course, or should we plan on taking a cart?

While it's certainly walkable, we strongly advise taking a cart, especially if you're not accustomed to significant elevation changes. The course is quite hilly, and you'll conserve energy for your swing if you let the cart do the climbing. Trust us, your legs will thank you by the 18th hole.

What's the overall vibe and value like at Colline del Gavi compared to other Italian courses?

Colline del Gavi offers excellent value for a course of its quality in Italy. You're getting a well-maintained, challenging track with incredible views of the Piedmontese countryside, often at a more accessible price point than some of the more famous resort courses. It feels authentic and less touristy, which we love.
