Golf Club Carimate

What Golf Club Carimate does

Golf Club Carimate is a private non-profit amateur sports association (Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica) founded in 1962 in Carimate, Como province, Lombardy, Italy. It operates an 18-hole par-71 championship golf course designed by Piero Mancinelli — first nine holes opened in 1962, second nine in 1965, with modernization completed in 2007 — on a 60-hectare estate integrated with approximately 400 residential villas and a botanical heritage of 10,000 plants. The clubhouse was designed by Vico Magistretti and Guido Veneziani in 1962 and recently enlarged by Architect Gregorio Caccia Dominioni. Ancillary facilities include a driving range with 16 outdoor and 6 covered positions, three clay tennis courts, a seasonal 26m x 20m swimming pool, a restaurant operated by Green Food S.r.l., and a pro shop run by Golf Us.

The business operates seven revenue streams: annual membership subscriptions, daily green fees (€75–€110 for 18 holes; differentiated for FIG members vs. foreigners and juniors), golf vacation packages with partner hotels (from €213/person for 2 nights; from €376/person for 3 nights including Villa d'Este), pro shop retail, restaurant and bar sales, tournament entry fees, and ancillary facility rentals (carts, trolleys, pool, tennis). Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer green fee and membership sales, event-driven corporate and association tournament hosting (Allianz Golf Invitational, Range Rover events, AGIRE and Manageritalia tournaments), and B2B distribution through partner hotels and the GesGolf competition platform. Customer segments span individual members, golf tourists, corporate and association groups, walk-in green fee players, and golf instruction students.

The organization holds ISO 14001:2015 (May 2019) and EMAS environmental certifications, and maintains affiliations with the Italian Golf Federation (FIG), European Golf Association, PGA Italiana, The R&A, and the European Tour. Technology use is limited to third-party instructional tools (Trackman, V1 Golf, SAM PUT LAB) delivered through the Italian Golf Academy partnership, a proprietary iOS/Android mobile app for members, and a YouTube channel featuring hole-by-hole course content. The club operates with approximately 10 employees and does not publicly disclose revenue figures.
