Torre dei Ronchi Golf Club
A compact Cuneo club where 9-hole golf feels tactical, social and quietly alpine
Torre dei Ronchi is the kind of club that stays interesting because it avoids pretending to be bigger than its scale. Just outside Cuneo, its 9-hole routing uses compact lengths, tactical par 4s and a quietly refined local atmosphere to create a round that feels nimble, social and more exacting than many players expect. It is especially convincing for those who like mountain-foot golf that remains playable and intimate rather than monumental.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Cuneo — Passeggiata sotto i portici di Contrada Maestra
Contrada Maestra and the long porticoes of Cuneo are the cleanest urban extension after Torre dei Ronchi: elegant facades, arcades, baroque churches and a measured city rhythm between the plain and the Alps. It gives the round a proper Piedmont civic finish without asking for a big detour.
“Walk the full length of Contrada Maestra before aperitivo and only then sit down in Piazza Galimberti; the change from narrow medieval street to the broad square is the real sequence that makes Cuneo work.”
Borgo San Dalmazzo — Abbazia di Pedona e tavola locale
Borgo San Dalmazzo is a better post-round food stop than many golfers expect: a small historic town at the entrance of the valleys, with the Abbey of Pedona, old streets and trattorie that still feel connected to snails, Fassona and mountain-border cooking. It is rooted, not showy, and that is exactly why it works.
“Walk briefly around the Abbey of Pedona before dinner, then choose a trattoria with a short menu and ask what is local that day; in Borgo, the best table is usually the least performative one.”
Parco fluviale Gesso e Stura — Camminata facile tra gli argini
The easy paths of the Gesso and Stura River Park are the simplest way to add air and movement after Torre dei Ronchi without committing to a full mountain outing. Water, fields, cycle tracks and the first valley line toward Borgo San Dalmazzo make it feel open and restorative.
“Pick one flat riverside section close to sunset rather than trying to cover distance; this works as a breathing walk before dinner, not as an expedition.”
Castelmagno — Santuario di San Magno nella roccia
Clinging to the rock face at 1,750 metres in Valle Grana, the Sanctuary of San Magno appears to have grown out of the mountain itself — part of the nave is literally carved into living stone. Tradition holds that a Roman martyr took refuge here in the 3rd century; today only a handful of pilgrims and valley shepherds make the climb. The same valley also produces Castelmagno DOP cheese: a double alpine secret half an hour from the plain.
“Go in September when the pastures are still green and the sanctuary is open but crowd-free — park at Chiappi and walk the last 20 minutes on foot.”
Manta — Castello della Manta e gli affreschi gotici
A few kilometres from Saluzzo, the Castello della Manta conceals in its baronial hall one of northern Italy's most striking Gothic fresco cycles: the Fountain of Youth, painted around 1420, shows knights and ladies bathing in rejuvenating waters with a vitality that still leaps off the walls. The FAI has restored the rooms with a light hand, leaving the 15th-century atmosphere fully intact. A visit takes under an hour but stays with you considerably longer.
“Arrive at opening time on a weekday — school groups descend at weekends, and these frescoes deserve to be seen alone, in silence.”
