Verdura Golf Club
Sicily
Set along the spectacular Mediterranean coastline of south-west Sicily, Verdura Golf Club offers one of Italy's most impressive championship golfing experiences. Located near the historic seaside town of Sciacca, this exceptional golf destination combines breathtaking sea views, beautifully maintained fairways and the year-round appeal of Sicily's Mediterranean climate. With two outstanding 18-hole championship courses and a nine-hole par-three course, Verdura is a fantastic choice for golfers seeking an unforgettable golf holiday in Italy.
Designed by renowned golf course architect Kyle Phillips, the resort's championship layouts offer 36 holes of spectacular links-style golf across 230 hectares of beautiful coastal countryside. The East Links and West Shore courses make excellent use of the natural landscape, incorporating rolling fairways, strategically positioned bunkers, challenging greens and dramatic Mediterranean views. Both courses provide an enjoyable test for golfers of varying abilities, with the coastal breezes adding an extra challenge throughout the round.
The East Links is particularly memorable for its spectacular seaside holes and imaginative design. Extensively renovated under the supervision of Kyle Phillips, this par-73 championship course features beautifully contoured greens, challenging water hazards and dramatic stretches alongside the Mediterranean. The coastal par-four 9th is a particular highlight, offering an unforgettable golfing experience against a breathtaking backdrop of the Sicilian shoreline.
For a contrasting challenge, the West Shore Course offers a demanding par-70 layout featuring lengthy par fours, strategically positioned bunkers and undulating greens. The opening holes provide a stern test of accuracy and distance, while the back nine gradually winds towards the Mediterranean coastline, delivering spectacular sea views and a memorable finish. The resort's nine-hole executive course also provides an enjoyable option for beginners or golfers looking to improve their short game.
Away from the fairways, golfers can take advantage of excellent practice facilities, including a double-ended driving range, putting and chipping greens and a dedicated golf academy offering professional coaching and advanced swing analysis technology. The elegant clubhouse features a well-stocked golf shop and welcoming dining facilities, providing the perfect setting for a post-round drink.
The adjoining five-star Verdura Resort, part of the prestigious Rocco Forte Hotels collection, offers luxurious accommodation, exceptional dining, a private beach and outstanding spa facilities. Its beautiful coastal location also makes it an excellent base for exploring Sicily's historic towns, charming villages and renowned food and wine culture.
At Hashtag Golf Travel, we highly recommend Verdura Golf Club for couples, golf societies and groups seeking a luxury golf holiday in Sicily. With two magnificent championship courses, breathtaking Mediterranean scenery and exceptional five-star resort facilities, it's an outstanding destination for combining memorable golf with sunshine, relaxation and authentic Italian hospitality.

About The Area
Sicily is a superb choice for golfers who want an Italy golf holiday with sunshine, sea views, food, history and real variety beyond the course. As the Mediterranean’s largest island, it gives you a proper holiday feel, with beaches, volcanic landscapes, ancient towns, vineyards and plenty of warm Italian character.
The headline golf destination is Verdura Resort, set on Sicily’s south-west coast. Its Kyle Phillips-designed golf spans 230 hectares of coastline, with 45 holes, links-style layouts and panoramic Mediterranean views. For golfers who want a luxury resort base, it is one of the strongest options in Italy.
Sicily also offers very different golfing experiences elsewhere on the island. Donnafugata Golf Club has two 18-hole championship courses, with a Gary Player-designed Parkland Course and a Franco Piras-designed Links Course. Over on the eastern side, Il Picciolo Etna Golf Resort sits on the slopes of Mount Etna, with fairways shaped around vineyards and lava flows. Its course is widely noted as Sicily’s first 18-hole, par-72 course, designed by Luigi Rota Caremoli.
Away from golf, Sicily is packed with reasons to stay longer. You can visit Mount Etna, the Valley of the Temples, Taormina, Syracuse, Palermo, beaches, markets and coastal towns, making it ideal for couples, groups and mixed golf/non-golf holidays.
For UK golfers, Sicily works brilliantly as a tailor-made Italy golf holiday, whether you want a premium coastal resort, an Etna adventure or a wider island itinerary. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right courses, hotels, transfers and route.
