Italy, the other home<br />

of golfers<br />

"Golfing along Italian gulfs": What sounds like a song<br />

is a fantastic idea for an Italian holiday with hundreds<br />

of courses waiting for golf fans.<br />

VISIT<br />

With its mild climate and all year-round playability, Italy is a great destination<br />

to pick for a golf holiday. The nation boasts a tremendous array of luxury<br />

accommodation options and a golfing experience as good as its European<br />

neighbours, but its fairways aren’t anywhere near as busy. Following are just<br />

some ideas for enthustiasts and amateurs alike.<br />

BRAND CAR D<br />

EMILIA ROMAGNA<br />

ONE UNIQUE GREEN FEE FOR<br />

25 GOLF COURSES<br />

Emilia Romagna is a year-round golf destination, thanks to 23<br />

magnificent championship courses - 13 of them with 18 holes,<br />

two with 27 holes- located close to one another and ready to<br />

welcome guests 365 days a year.<br />

It is not only the combination of sunny days, manicured greens<br />

combined with historical cities, pristine landscapes, the<br />

maritime romance of the Adriatic and exciting gastronomy. A<br />

very special experience is Antico Borgo di Tabiano Castello in<br />

Salsomaggiore Terme near Parma. Golfers can play within the<br />

sight of an authentic medieval castle.<br />

Emilia-Romagna offers a special incentive for golf players:<br />

visitors need only pay one green fee for all of 25 of its fantastic<br />

courses, just 20 minutes away from each other by car. This<br />

means that in a whole month of holiday, a golfer can technically<br />

experience the wonderful challenge of a new course every day.<br />

A true paradise for golf enthusiasts<br />

FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA<br />

SEVEN GOLF COURSES IN<br />

EXCEPTIONAL SURROUNDINGS<br />

Friuli Venezia Giulia has seven 18-hole golf courses, located not<br />

far from one another. This unparalleled choice makes it possible to<br />

combine, in a small area, a wide range of landscapes and an array of<br />

technical features.<br />

Close to the sea one can find Lignano Golf Club which blends-in<br />

perfectly with surrounding coastal pine woods. A key aspect of<br />

Grado Golf Club is also water: in this case a lagoon. TriesteGolf Club<br />

has a spectacular setting, high up on the Karst plateau overlooking<br />

the city. Hole seventeen offers a stunning view of the enchanting Gulf<br />

of Trieste. The Golf & Country Club Castello di Spessa is surrounded<br />

by the hills and vineyards of the Collio area around Gorizia, at the<br />

foot of a 13th century castle. Udine Golf Club’s eighteen holes are<br />

also set in undulating terrain at the base of the Alps, near two lakes.<br />

The Tarvisio Senza Confini Golf Club is also located in the midst of<br />

the Julian Alps. Last is Golf Club Pordenone, located at the foot of the<br />

Piancavallo mountains in a nature reserve.<br />

But above all, between a putt and a drive, visitors will have the<br />

opportunity to explore the wonderfully varied region of Friuli Venezia<br />

Giulia with its multi-faceted history<br />

The Riviera Golf Resort<br />
