Museum

Located in the heart of Lugano on Via Peri 11, the Museum showcases a unique collection of over 1300 original hickory clubs. It serves as a cultural and historical reference point for golf enthusiasts, scholars, and collectors, offering the rare opportunity to test and experience historical equipment firsthand.


Each piece tells a story—of craftsmanship, evolution, and the soul of the game. The museum is not only a place of display but a hub of knowledge, restoration, and inspiration. Visitors leave with a deeper understanding of the sport’s early spirit and its enduring legacy.
