The Mediterranean

185 yardsPar 3

A spectacular par 3 playing directly toward the Mediterranean Sea, demanding a precise mid-iron to a green surrounded by bunkers with the azure waters as backdrop. The sea breeze makes club selection critical, and the view from the tee is among the most dramatic in European golf.

10

The Coast

445 yardsPar 4

A strategic dogleg right along the coastline where positioning off the tee is crucial to set up the approach to a well-guarded green with stunning sea views. The fairway narrows as it bends toward the water, punishing anything other than a precise drive.

13

The Links

555 yardsPar 5

A risk-reward par 5 with strategic bunkering and coastal views, offering birdie opportunities for players willing to challenge the hazards with the sea breeze in play. The green is reachable in two for long hitters, but the bunkers flanking the approach demand respect.

15

The Cliff

205 yardsPar 3

A dramatic long par 3 with panoramic Mediterranean views, requiring a precise long iron or hybrid to a green perched above the coastline. The wind off the sea can shift the required club by two or three selections, making this one of the most unpredictable holes on the course.

17

The Challenge

475 yardsPar 4

A championship par 4 along the coast demanding two precise shots to reach a green protected by bunkers with the Mediterranean providing a stunning backdrop. The second shot must carry a deep bunker complex, and anything short will find the sand.

The Finale

575 yardsPar 5

A dramatic finishing hole with coastal views, offering eagle opportunities but demanding precision under pressure with the luxury resort as your backdrop. The green is protected by water on the left and bunkers right, making the final approach one of the most exhilarating in Italian golf.
