The Gardagolf Country Club is an Italian golf course located in Soiano del Lago, close to the Lake Garda in the Province of Brescia. The first 18 holes (Red and White Course) designed by Cotton, Pennick, Steel & Partners were inaugurated on the 28th of June 1986, while the Yellow Course was added in 1990.

Many of the area’s historic attractions fill the foreground; not least the very impressive 10th century Soiano Castle and the renowned Rocca di Manerba. But wait, there’s more
