Golf in Sicily

The beautiful Mediterranean island of Sicily offers everything a golfer could hope for from a relaxing and luxury golf holiday. The beaches are stunning, perfect golf weather, and some of the best golf courses in Italy. We have visited and can highly recommend both Verdura and Donnafugata Golf resorts. The Forte Group’s Verdura resort is near Sciacca in south-western Sicily, and has two eighteen-hole courses and a nine-hole, all designed by Kyle Phillips; their landscaping is set upon rolling hills along the shore. Then there’s Donnafugata, near Ragusa in southeastern Sicily, a stunning PGA course designed by Gary Player.

Verdura Golf East Courses

Verdura golf course, golf holiday in Italy

Three spectacular, world-class, new golf courses have been built at Verdura, one of very few sites on the rugged, rolling island of Sicily where such an opportunity is possible.

Phillips, who designed the stunning Kingsbarns Links just outside St Andrews in Scotland, and also the immaculate parkland courses at The Grove in Hertfordshire, as well as numerous US projects, is renowned for preserving and accentuating the essential character of the site, through his creative use of both natural and man-made landforms.

The East Course is 7,221 yards long and the West Course is 7,474 yards from the championship tees; the Short Course, a nine-hole par-3, is 1,056 yards. There is also a Composite Championship Course made up of holes from the East and West, should a professional championship be staged in the future, measured at 7,458 yards. Each hole on the East and West has five tee positions to choose from: the minimum length of the East is 5,505 yards, and the West 5,753 yards. Tee times are arranged at 12-minute intervals to ensure free-flowing play, and each day one of the courses will be dedicated to two-ball play only.
