At the beginning of the nineties, between
Olgiate and Solbiate Olona, Jack Nicklaus found himself
looking at approximately seventy hectares of plains set
aside for the "Le Robinie" golf courseand had
no doubts about what should be done: dig, dig, dig. Hence
the creaton of that masterpiece of dells, amphitheatres,
terraced bunkers and lakes that carry the same signature
but this is the only one in Italy - already considered
one of the best in Europe. almost obsessively meticulous,
Nicklaus modified and corrected many of the 18 holes
until his objective was reached: a demanding but not
"punishing" course, where it 9is possible to
play at all levels (there are five tee-offs for every
hole) and enjoy oneself, whether a beginner or
professional. The
course
At "Le
Robinie" an attack tactic is advisable for better
players but , in order not to run any risks, players can
use a defence tactic with good results owing to the fact
that the amphitheatre-type shape of almost all the holes
allows for a good view of the obstacles. Hole 4 is
perhaps the most spectacular hole from an aesthetic point
of view. The lake is to the right on the first stroke. A
series of very deep bunkers, unique in Eutope, can be
found on the line of the second stroke, when the player
wishes to reach the green. For the better players,
although the right shot is slightly more risky, it is
undoubtedly exciting. Players who prefer not to risk
should play on the left, making the hole longer.
