If you are looking for a golf holiday in Italy the glorious area of Lake Garda (Largo di Garda) in the Veneto area of northern Italy presents  a real golfing treat for anyone. It has never really  been seen as a golfing area but in true Tee Times style we have added it to our list of relatively unknown quality golf destinations.

As in true Italian style this is a real gem, the golf courses and hotels we have picked for you to play golf in Italy, sit on or close to the shores of the magnificent Lake Garda, providing spectacular views of the surrounding hills and blue waters of the Lake.  

Lake Garda, which is the largest lake in Italy, is situated at the foot of the Alps and being only 30km from Verona, 100km from Milan and 130km from Venice there is easy access by road, rail and air connections, which makes it ideal for our clients wishing to play golf in Italy. 

Surrounded by the Dolomites of Brenta in the north and the gentle slopes of the Morainic hills in the south this is truly a spectacular place to visit. The area is enriched with vegetation, oleanders, orange trees, magnolias and bouganville due to the Mediterranean type climate. Vineyards and olive tree groves are abundant in the area, which has become recognised for producing great wines and some of the finest olive oil.

The lake's shores are scattered with fascinating and historical villages and towns and if you wish to experience some classical Italian hospitality between  playing your rounds of golf in Italy, then you will not be disappointed. If you don’t mind a little travelling while at lake Garda a visit to the historical cities of Trento in the north, Vicenza, Padova and Venice to the east and of course Verona the nearest city to Lake Garda will be worth the visit. Pick the right time of year and you can even visit the opera in Verona which is a real treat and you'll be singing during your golf holidays in Italy. 

There is much to do around Lake Garda and you could include Sailing, swimming, vineyard and wine tasting tours, windsurfing, tennis, paragliding and scuba diving, to name but a few, during your golf in Italy trip to this mesmerising area of Italy. There are so many key features in Italy to visit that you really won't know where to begin.

The 3 hotels Tee Times have chosen are owned by the Parchotel group and are based in the towns of Bardolino and Castelnuovo del Garda, which are situated on the east side of the Lake making easy travelling from Verona airport and to the courses of Verona, Paradiso which is based at one of our hotel, Villafranca and Circolo Golf Ca’ degli Ulivi. Playing golf in Italy at these courses will leave you wanting to return time and again.
