An evergreen tradition.

Since 1924, the Italian Golf Club that won most national
and international Championships and Trophies.

Circolo Golf Torino La Mandria was actually founded in 1920 from the initiative of eleven people with a a lot of golf passion in the years of reconstruction after the First World War. It was first located near San Maurizio in the middle of a moorland also used for military exercises. In 1924, it has been affiliated to the Italian Golf Federation. In 1927, it moved to the Mirafiori trotter: nine holes shared with horse racing. There was then a need for a more specific location, and therefore the new field at Colle della Maddalena was chosen.

Only in 1956 it moved to the current location, the La Mandria Park: one of the most beautiful and fascinating regional parks in the Po Valley, a former hunting reserve of the Savoys very close to the famouse baroque splendor of the Royal Palace of Venaria Reale.
Among the many pages of its history, the Club hosted 3 editions of the Italian Open: the 1999 Italian Open, organized and hosted by the Club under the enlightened presidency of the engineer Sergio Pininfarina, the 70th Lindt Italian Open in 2013 and the 71st Italian Open by Damiani in 2014.
Over the last twenty years there has been an increase in activities and the birth of an ever-increasing number of champions, growth also due to a policy that pays particular attention to the Youth Team Club composed of more than 130 boys and girls.

The Palmares of Circolo Golf Torino La Mandria is the richest and most titled in Italy. In fact it is currently the Club that won most national and international Championships and Trophies.

The two famous Molinari brothers, Edoardo and Francesco, international champions and flag-bearers for Italy (as well as for the Club itself) in the main international golf competitions, are at home at “Torino”. A pairing, that of the two champions born and raised on the Turin course, which brought the 2009 World Cup and the 2010 and 2012 editions of the Ryder Cup (European team) into the Club’s Roll of Honor. Two trophies that very few in the world can boast on the noticeboard of their Club House.
