Albarella Golf Club

Typical British style and the wonderful scenario of the Venetian lagoon. The golf course in Albarella is the only existing course combing these two features: it was designed by the British architect Harris... ...the "sea-links ROUTE " stretches for 18 holes deep in a breathtaking environment, thus making of this course one of the most beloved courts by first- class international golf players. In 1972 over two million cubic metres of sand were drawn from the sea to build the course. That’s why the course in Albarella is considered to be born from the sea. Albarella Golf Club has a par 72, Gentleman’s Championship Tee C.R. 72,0 S.R.121, Ladies Championship Tee C.R.72,5 S.R.121 Gentleman’s Advanced Tee C.R. 70,5 S.R.118 and Ladies Advanced Tee C.R.73,8 S.R.125. The ROUTE stretches over a surface of 70 hectares and it is 6,130 metre long. It is characterized by a series of natural hazards such as water ponds and sandy dunes thus putting a strain on the players’ ability. Wind, too, plays a role since it affects the way the ball fly. Playing while hearing the voice of the wind making the waves break on the rocks and on the beach is anyway something unique. The beach surrounds the whole course. The designer respected the flat nature of the area but he managed to make the course more thrilling by creating delicate green and tricky bunkers. But there’s something more to it for golf players passing the Club House to approach the course: Fallow deer flocks grazing peacefully in the wild, heedless of players practicing and wanting the ball to fall right into the hole next to them. Surprises are not over yet. During golf matches it can often happen to see some pheasants staring at the ball landed in the rough or some young hares waiting for you to strike your ball. You can stand there enjoying the scenic view of those nice animals or you just need to whistle and they’ll disappear. These amazing views won’t have a great impact on your concentration: they simply are unforgettable memories.More
