Petram Resort & Residences
Savudrija
Petram Resort & Residences is a stylish luxury aparthotel in Savudrija, on the northern tip of Croatia’s Istrian coast. Set close to the Adriatic Sea and within easy reach of Slovenia and Italy, it is a superb base for golfers looking for a Croatia golf holiday with a relaxed resort feel, coastal scenery and something a little different from the usual European golf break.
The big golfing draw is nearby Golf Adriatic | PGA National Croatia, an 18-hole, par-72 championship course opened in 2009. Measuring 6,360 metres and spread across 80 hectares, the course blends into the Mediterranean landscape with rocks, natural ponds, evergreen vegetation, strategic bunkers and sea breezes that can quickly turn a good scorecard into a proper test. Five tee positions on every hole also make it suitable for different handicaps, which is ideal for couples, groups and mixed-ability golfers.
Back at the resort, guests can stay in modern apartments or villas, many with terraces or balconies, giving the trip more space and flexibility than a traditional hotel stay. Petram is also known for its rooftop infinity pool, rooftop restaurant, spa, gym and wellness facilities, including an indoor pool and five saunas.
For golfers who want sunshine, great food, sea views and championship golf without the busier feel of Spain or Portugal, Petram Resort & Residences is a smart choice for an Istria golf holiday.

About The Area
Pula is one of Croatia’s most characterful coastal bases, combining Roman history, Adriatic beaches and easy access to the Brijuni Islands. It is not a high-density golf hub, but it works well for golfers who want a wider holiday: a bit of golf, a bit of culture, plenty of coast and some lovely Istrian food and wine.
The closest golf experience is Brijuni Golf Course, set within Brijuni National Park just offshore from Fažana, a short trip from Pula. Golf has been played on Brijuni since 1922, and the national park describes it as a unique place to play, with deer, mouflons, rabbits and peacocks often part of the scenery. It is not a glossy modern resort course, but that is exactly its charm: historic, natural and completely different from the standard Mediterranean golf setup.
For a more conventional championship-style round, Golf Adriatic | PGA National Croatia in Savudrija is the stronger Istrian option. Opened in 2009, it is an 18-hole, par-72 course measuring 6,360 metres, with sea views, bunkers, shaped greens and wind as a proper factor. It is further from Pula, so it works better as a full-day golf excursion or part of a wider Istria itinerary.
Golf around Pula is best from spring to autumn, with May, June, September and early October especially appealing for warm weather without peak summer heat.
Off the course, Pula has loads to offer. The Pula Arena is one of the city’s standout sights and is promoted as one of the world’s best-preserved Roman monuments. Brijuni National Park is another major draw, with protected islands, coastline, nature and boat trips from nearby Fažana.
For golfers seeking a relaxed Croatian coastal base with history, beaches, island trips and a distinctive nearby golf experience, Pula is a very useful and atmospheric Istrian destination.
