0800 043 6644According to Kyle Phillips, the architect of this gem, “What makes Verdura’s East Course such a special experience is not only the fact that it is, simply put, an amazing golf course; but more importantly that I am able to share my vision with players who will be able to realize and fully immerse themselves in it around every corner.”
The new 9th hole on Verdura's East Course is ridiculously fun! If you manage to get your tee shot just right, then you'll be in a great position. You can hit it short and lay up or go for the green if you're feeling confident. Just make sure not to get anywhere near the bunker on the right side because your ball will end up in the water. If the traps aren't scary enough for you, throwing in an ocean breeze with waves crashing right behind the green isn't exactly calming.
Be sure to take your camera on the golf course with you, some of the views from the ocean holes will be the best snap of your holiday!
Verdura Golf Club is ranked as one of the best courses in Italy

The West Course opens with three lengthy par-four holes, followed by the first of five par-threes. Such an opening can be quite intimidating!
Challenging greens are intended to challenge golfers’ skills at every turn. These greens are filled with obstacles that may require three putts, but the greens are still actually larger than most so they will not be too difficult to master.
The front nine of this course works its way up through the estate and it eventually circles back after players complete most of the initial challenges. The back nine is different in that it takes golfers on a ride down to the Mediterranean Sea along with some exceptional views of the ocean below. Throughout the round there are many points where you look over your shoulder just in time to catch sight of majestic waves crashing into rocky cliffs.
With dramatic coastline vistas and impressive natural landscapes, Verdura has been created with tournament golf in mind, however given the range of tees on offer golfers can play the courses at a length suitable to them.

Verdura Golf and Spa Resort accommodations are of the very highest specifications and the property has won numerous awards and accolades, including 'Italy's Best Golf Hotel' at the 2015 World Golf Awards. Each of the 203 exquisitely designed rooms and suites offer an unobstructed view of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. With a range of rooms on offer from elegant Deluxe Rooms to the opulent Presidential Suite, golf holidaymakers will find themselves catered for to the very highest level after their golf has finished.
Food and beverage options at Verdura Golf and Spa Resort consist of four restaurants and five bars, each in their own unique setting with terraces overlooking the scenic hills. Celebrity chef Fulvio Pierangelini runs the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant, Zagara, building a substantial menu from all the natural ingredients available. The beachfront Amare Restaurant serves fresh off the boat seafood while other dining options include Liola, serving Trattoria style food, Granita for snacks and cocktails, Buon Giorino for breakfast and the clubhouse Torre Bar which is ideal for a buffet lunch after golf.
Although golf is often at the forefront of anyone visiting Verdura, those wishing for a relaxing break can enjoy a wealth of activities away from the fantastic golf courses. The spa itself is one of the largest and most comprehensive in Europe, with 11 treatment rooms as well as outdoor treatment space, guests can enjoy a range of treatments using local produce from the Island.
Perfect in every way. Rather long transfer time from the airport (90 minutes) but it was in the comfort of a Mercedes with iced water provided. Hotel staff went out of their way to be helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. They made us feel very welcome and we felt their smiles were genuine.
Very isolated location in an unattractive part of the island. Prices for food, drink and Spa services ridiculously expensive. They know that they’ve got a captive clientele. Architecture very drab/utilitarian. All the apartment blocks looked like council dwellings designed in the 60’s.

Superb course with stunning views. Again no waiting at the tees.
Good spacing between players so no waiting at the tees. Course was in excellent condition and was challenging without being too difficult.
Boring
