Verona

The original nine holes at Golf Club Verona were designed in the early 1960s by John Harris, who made great use of the hilly terrain. Giulio Cavalsani's longer, more open second nine appeared in 1973 to form today’s formidable 18-hole layout.

Today, the course extends to 6,076 metres from the back markers, playing to a par of 72 (35 out, 37 in), with holes arranged as two returning nines. The shorter outward half features three par threes and back-to-back par fives at #5 and #6, with the inward half sporting only one par three at the 189-metre 15th).

Highlight holes include the first of the par threes at the very short 2nd (in the southernmost part of the property); the slightly right veering par four 8th (rated stroke index 1); short par fours at the 11th and 14th (each with heavily sand-protected greens); and the severely right doglegging par four 18th which features three large bunkers around the home green.
