There are very few Arnold Palmer designs in continental Europe and this is one of them. The club states the architect “drew inspiration from nearby Venice, scattering holes with water hazards” but – truth be told – because the landscape is so flat, several small lakes had to excavated to provide fill for contouring the holes.

The layout opened in the late 1980s and one of the first tournaments hosted by the club was the second edition of the Ladies’ Italian Open in 1988, when Laura Davies retained the trophy she had won at Croara the previous year.
Today, the 18-hole layout extends to 6350 metres, playing to a par of 72, with water hazards involved at more than half the holes on the scorecard. Notable holes include the right doglegging par four 5th; the short par five 12th; and the long par three 17th, requiring an all-carry tee shot over water to the green.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
