The
course at the Golf Club Verona is charming and spectacular. It lies
completely among the gentle hills of the region around Verona, between
the town of Romeo and Juliet and Lake Garda. The course is fairly
irregular, with broad undulating fairways. There are not many water
barriers, only two small lakes and a few ditches. However, it is a
course that is fairly tiring for golfers who are not in training, on
account of the frequent gradients. Laid out in 1963, the Golf Club
Verona remains open all year round, thanks to the nearness of Lake Garda
which makes the local climate particularly temperate.

When
you love tear-jerking tales of love and grief, you can hardly wish of a
better setting than Verona, home to the tragic story of Romeo and
Juliette. The house (Via Cappello) and tomb of Juliette are worth going
out your way for after an opera at the Arena or a coffee on the Piazza
delle Erbe. Whichever way you look at it, Verona is a superb city made
even more attractive by the closeness of Lake Garda. The Verona Golf
Club was founded in 1963 and the course laid out in two stages by John
Harris, in a British parkland style consistent with the architect's own
style. Very
hilly, this course warrants a buggy for the more unfit golfer and a lot
of concentration to hit some elevated greens (and one blind green as
well). The first holes are rather narrow and tricky to negotiate - some
dangerous out-of-bounds await the mis-hit shot - while the back 9 are
wider with a few water hazards and shouldn't do too much damage to your
card if you have scored well over the front nine.
