Veneto was part of the Roman Empire until the 5th century AD. Later, after a feudal period, it was part of the Republic of Venice until 1797. For centuries, Venice ruled over one of the largest and richest maritime republics and trading empires in the world. After the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the Republic was annexed by the Austrian Empire until it merged with the Kingdom of Italy in 1866 as a result of the Third Italian War of Independence. In addition to Italian, most inhabitants speak Venetian, which is divided into five varieties. The Veneto region, located in the north-east of Italy, is a highly sought-after destination due to its main tourist attraction: Venice. A golf holiday in the region is very easy, as there are international airports in Verona and Venice. Almost all golfers combine a visit to Venice with a round of golf. Golfing in Veneto is amazing because courses are built in a great scenic setting overlooking, for example, the Dolomites, Lake Garda and the Adriatic Sea. Veneto boasts many exciting, challenging courses, rich in tradition, all of which respect the peculiarities of golf. There are 28 golf clubs in the region, most of which offer a relaxed atmosphere. Special courses: Golf della Montecchia and Golf Club Ca’Amata. In addition, there is a variety of beautiful golf resorts in the area. In Veneto you can play golf all year round. From May to October conditions are excellent.

Golf Club Padova

05.08. — green fee per player: Green Fee 18 Holes (10:00)
The Valsanzibio club is the firstborn among Padua’s golf courses, thanks to the support of an entrepreneur, Igino Kofler, who at the end of the Fifties, with a group of friends, wanted to create a course in order to enhance the tourist quality of the well known spa district of Abano and Montegrotto. Originally it was called “Euganeo Golf Club”, but the name is not the only thing that has changed in more than 50 years of history: the present Padua Golf Club, open to the public in 1962, has been extended from the original 18 holes designed by John Harris (Yellow and Blue). In 2003, indeed, 9 additional holes were opened: the Red Course, created by the Venetian architect Marco Croze. The fairways run at the foot of the Euganeas Hills in an outstandingly beautiful setting, a real botanical garden. In the Seventies, the club president was a nurseryman, Benedetto Sgaravatti, who embellished the naturalistic heritage of a rather barren ground with not less than eight thousands trees and shrubs, carefully chosen according to technical landscape criteria. The best background? That of the green of the 2nd hole in the Yellow Course, where you can admire the Diana’s Gate of the eighteenth century Villa Barbarigo: the garden, after your game, is definitely worth a visit. Technical Details Courses: 18 + 9 holes, Par 72/36, 5767/2824 meters Architect: John Harris, Marco Croze Topography: light hilly, many bunkers Distinctive features: in the middle of a valley at the foot of the Euganean Hills. It is mostly a parkland flat course with many water hazards. Thick vegetation at the sides of the fairways.
