golf della montecchia<br />

The Montecchia <strong>Golf</strong> Club was founded in 1988 by a<br />

group <strong>of</strong> businessmen from Padua, with the idea <strong>of</strong><br />

creating an oasis <strong>of</strong> peace and tranquillity right outside<br />

the city. The Club is indeed located just minutes from<br />

the centre <strong>of</strong> Padua, and can be easily reached from<br />

multiple motorway routes (Venice, Bologna and Milan)<br />

as it is located near the city’s orbital motorway.<br />

Built on a piece <strong>of</strong> land that was once the property <strong>of</strong><br />

the Emo Capodilista Counts, the Club is adjacent to a<br />

medieval castle as well as a splendid Renaissance villa,<br />

still owned by that noble family. The clubhouse is in a<br />

building, which once housed a tobacco-drying facility,<br />

cleverly renovated to <strong>of</strong>fer standard reception services<br />

in addition to two restaurants (Michelin stars), a snack<br />

bar and meeting rooms. <strong>Golf</strong> della Montecchia now has<br />

a new innovative indoor facility, the Montecchia Performance<br />

Center, so golfers can train year round using<br />

simulators and new technologies for in-depth swing and<br />

putt analyses, plus there‘s a fitness area for functional<br />

golf training.<br />

The course was the site <strong>of</strong> the 2001, 2002, 2012 and<br />

2013 Challenge Tour as well as the 2010 and 2012 Alps<br />

Tour, which marked the opening <strong>of</strong> the Club to a wider<br />

market: not only local, but also national and international.<br />

Il <strong>Golf</strong> della Montecchia fu fondato nel 1988 da un gruppo di<br />

imprenditori padovani con l’idea di creare un’oasi di pace e di<br />

tranquillità appena fuori della città. Il Club infatti si trova a<br />

pochi minuti dal centro di Padova ed è facilmente raggiungibile<br />

da più autostrade (Venezia, Bologna, Milano) vista la sua<br />

posizione di vicinanza con la tangenziale.<br />

Il Club realizzato sui terreni una volta compresi nella tenuta<br />

dei Conti Emo Capodilista, è ubicato nelle vicinanze di un<br />

castello medievale come anche di una splendida villa rinascimentale<br />

tuttora di proprietà di quel nobile casato. La sede<br />

del circolo sportivo, ricavata all’interno di una costruzione in<br />

precedenza utilizzata per l’essicazione del tabacco, è stata<br />

ingegnosamente ristrutturata così da <strong>of</strong>frire, in aggiunta ai<br />

due ristoranti (stelle Michelin), servizi di ricevimento, una<br />

tavola calda, e sale riunioni. Il golf della Montecchia è inoltre<br />

dotato di una nuova innovativa struttura indoor, la Montecchia<br />

Performance Center, per potersi allenare in tutti le stagioni con<br />

simulatori e nuove tecnologie per appr<strong>of</strong>ondite analisi di swing<br />

e putt, oltre alla zona fitness per training funzionali al golf.<br />

Il percorso ha ospitato il Challenge Tour nel 2001, 2002 e 2013<br />

e l’Alps Tour nel 2010 e nel 2012, a dimostrazione della vocazione<br />

del club verso un più vasto mercato<br />

non solo locale, ma anche nazionale ed<br />

internazionale.<br />
