Verdura Golf and Spa Resort Review

Italy is without doubt one of the world’s top tourist destinations. With a culture and history as impressive as any it’s easy to see why it attracts millions of tourists every year. It is however this culture of living and dying for the national sport of football which has perhaps gone some way as to suppressing sports such as golf. Change is however on the horizon for Italian golf; following the pioneering successes of the likes of Costantino Rocca and Emanuele Cannonica it has set the wheels in motion for its future development. These wheels are now in full flow and in the 2009 World Cup of golf, brothers Eduardo and Francesco Molinari emerged victorious. This has now put Italy at the forefront of professional golf. The advent of The Rocco Forte Collection’s first golf resort venture looks set to put Italy on the map as a golf holiday destination.

The luxurious Verdura Golf and Spa Resort has set out its stall amongst the very finest golf holiday experiences. As Sir Rocco Forte’s first resort venture, no stone has been left untouched in achieving a golf holiday that is up there with the very best. The first task was to create a golf course which was suitable for the stunning Sicily coastline. Kyle Philips of Kingsbarns and The Grove fame created not one but two breathtaking courses as well as a challenging 9-hole par 3 course which is the perfect short game sharpener. Given it’s enviable position along the beautiful coastline, golfers will experience a links experience similar to that seen in East Lothian.

With both the East and West Course measuring in excess of 7,200 yards they have been geared towards future tournament play. With a host of ocean view holes on offer, the diversity between the two layouts provides not only a test which will challenge your full golfing armoury but also a scenic delight.

Although Vedura Golf and Spa Resort will be an exclusive golf holiday destination, you can be assured a golf holiday to this idyllic spot will be one that won’t be forgotten.
