Located on the scenic island of Lido near Venice, Circolo Golf Venezia is one of Italy’s oldest and most atmospheric courses. Opened in 1928, this 18-hole parkland course winds through pine trees and sand dunes with views of the Adriatic Sea and Venice’s historic skyline. It’s a classic Italian layout – relatively flat but cleverly bunkered, with small greens and tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy over brute force. The setting is serene, and the breeze off the sea adds to the challenge. The clubhouse, housed in a former Austro-Hungarian fort, adds to the course’s character. A hidden gem, perfect for combining golf with Venetian culture.
