Play Golf Club Paradiso de Garda
This golf course is a manageable 6,000 yards long, and it was designed by noted American golf architect Jim Fazio. Its signature hole is the par-5 18th that has water on the right when you hit your drive demanding accuracy to a fairway that is extremely well-trapped. The second shot must clear another sand trap with a fairway that moves dramatically to the right as you approach the green. In addition to having a fine course, it also boasts having a driving range and practice putting green, a well-equipped pro shop, a cocktail lounge and a restaurant.

Play Gardagolf Country Club
Without doubt, this is one of the best courses built in Italy in the past 25 years. It has 27 holes and has a terrific view of the Italian countryside. It is beautifully manicured, and it poses a challenge even to the best of golfers. Its location was chosen because of the temperate weather there, so golfers can play the course year-round. Twice the course was the site of the prestigious Italian Open, and it more recently hosted the Women's International Open.
