The course is located in Valsanzibio at the foot of the Euganean Hills, near to the seventh century Villa Barbarigo. It was built in 1960 and it was the second golf course with 18 holes in the Veneto region.

The design of the course, work by the English architecture John Harris, is stretched across an area of 70 hectares with a series of studied obstacles to give the game of golf in Italy more charm. The course is developed on the inside of a real park, with more than 8000 trees and bushes that fit in with the surrounding landscape.

The course (18 holes par 72 with a development of 6053 metres) is mostly flat, but extremely varied and very technical, with canals, lakes, bunkers, scattered everywhere making a more difficult game for the golfer playing golf in Italy. 

The welcoming Club House has a restaurant, pool and tennis court. There are now 27 holes at Padova and they are a real treat for anyone coming to play golf in Italy.
