Montecchia (White & Red)

Originally designed by Tom Macaulay in 1990 and renovated more recently by Jeremy Slessor of European Golf Design, the 27-hole layout at Golf della Montecchia lies close to Padua city centre, just a 20-minute drive away. The White and Red nines form the 18-hole layout of first choice here, with the Green nine occupying a separate property on the other side of the clubhouse. Stretching to 6,318 metres from the back tees, the White/Red course plays to a par of 72. Highlight holes on the White nine include the slightly left doglegging 6th (with water to the left of the fairway) and long par five 9th (with out of bounds running the length of the fairway on the right). On the Red nine, both the par three holes at the 180-metre 2nd and 190-metre8th demand a tee shot carry over water to the green, while the par five 9th plays to a heavily sand-protected green.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

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.
