In 1898 the Couturbier Golf Course was the only golf course in Piedmont, and only two golf courses were at the time in Italy. This is recorded in some old books which copy is also found in Italy.

 

The course was strongly desired by count Gaspar Voli well known, among other things, for his frequent travelling to Scotland, who did succeed in involving in the passion for golf, his neighbour count Avogadro di Collobiano, to the point to build a nine hole course on his estate.

The course, which Gaspar Voli was Secretary, as it is remembered on the old “Manual for Playing Golf in Italy”, was Par 36 and 2000 yards. It was patronised by the Savoia Royal Family when fox hunting in the Conturbia earldom and as documented in old photographs, gentlemen with long moustaches and ladies in long white dresses and pretty hats were playing golf on it.

 

Among the various news one can read:"The course is on a land really suitable for golf. The moor is insurmountable and this has always been the wish of the true golfer. The course covers a large area of grassy land full of gentle undulations and narrow valleys. The round is open, a good ball can be easily found but the wrong strokes are punished by the heather and broom.The Couturbier course will probably become the most pleasant in Italy".
