Bill, there is a significant difference between this topic and the other one about Florence. I have the luxury of time, while the other fellow is very limited in his time in Florence.
Furthermore, although I enjoy small helpings of museums, cobblestone streets, ancient artifacts, etc., I would be remiss in not exploring the golf options in an area that I have come to understand is one of the top golf areas of Italy, even if that statement is something of an oxymoron along the lines of Jumbo shrimp, honest politician, etc.
To everyone else, thank you for those thoughtful recommendations, and if there are any other viable golf options around the lake, or close to Milan, I would love to hear about them.
