La Bollina is a fair test, not overly punishing but certainly engaging, especially with its rolling terrain and strategically placed water hazards. You'll need to think your way around, particularly on the back nine where precision becomes key, but it's enjoyable for mid-handicappers without being intimidating. The course rewards thoughtful play over brute strength.

After your game, you absolutely must delve into the Gavi wine region right on your doorstep. We recommend visiting a local winery for a tasting - the crisp Gavi DOCG white wine is a perfect post-round treat. The charming town of Gavi itself is also worth a stroll for its historic fort and authentic Italian atmosphere.
