CIRCOLO
GOLF VENEZIA
The Circolo Golf Venezia was founded in 1928, which makes it one of the first
in Italy, as a classic Scottish link on the sandy dunes at Alberoni;
today it has become an extremely technical course with many trees that make the
game more interesting. In the centre of the course, is an old Venetian fort,
the ramparts of which are integral part of several holes; this creates a varied
and extremely changing scene. The Venice course, on which numerous
personalities from history and society have tried their skills, requires a precise
style of play but also a fair amount of power, because each hole conceals new
difficulties; golfers go home with wonderful memories of their game, even
though it is extremely difficult to achieve good results. It should be noted
that this course is rated near the top of the best 10 courses in Italy and 44th
among all courses in Europe. The nearness of Venice makes this course
particularly dear to all golfers who enjoy a visit to that marvellous, unique
and delicate town, whether their trip is for pleasure or business.

Comment read on the Peugeot Golf Guide
As Venice is sheer magic at dawn and nightfall, you have the whole day in between
to play this course at the far western tip of the Lido, opposite the city of
Doges, a very chic seaside resort which is also home to one of the rare casinos
to be find in Italy. This course, however, is much more than just space in
which you can try your luck at golf. Designed by Cruikshank and restyled by
C.K. Cotton and Marco Croze, it stretches over dune land amidst poplar, pine
and olive trees. The obvious British architecture here has aged well and you
find yourself rather happy not to have to ask too many tactical questions when
your game is off-colour. Caution is required nonetheless, as mistakes can occur
so easily in such a pleasant setting and prove costly for your card or
match-play score. A few water hazards and frequent wind add a little spice to
this excellent feast of golf.
