Golf Club Padova

The first golf course in Padua was born in 1962 on the initiative of the industrialist Igino Kofler and a group of passionate golfers with the name of Euganeo Golf Club. The course now includes 27 holes located at the foot of the Euganean Hills, bordering the seventeenth-century Villa Barbarigo, designed by the British architect John Harris of the Cotton studio in London, the first 18 holes par 72 transmit at first sight technical and landscape harmony thanks also to the precious contribution made by another historical president of the club: Benedetto Sgaravatti.

The field is a real botanical garden with 8000 trees and bushes chosen according to landscape and technical criteria, thus revealing a unique path that winds through pools of water and strategically distributed sand obstacles.

With the presidency of Ascanio Calvi di Bergolo, the Padova Golf Club has reached a considerable number of members (around 780) and is consistently classified among the best 20 Italian courses. Since 2003 the Club has had a further 9 par 36 championship holes, these have modern technical characteristics and allow a compelling variation on conventional laps.

The Padova Golf Club offers accommodation facilities such as swimming pool, sauna and gym and the restaurant well known in the region and in the national golf scene deserves a mention.
It is today a rare example of symbiosis between Club and Resort open to guests, in fact in early spring and late autumn attracts thousands of golfers, especially Germans and Austrians.

The Guest-House is without doubt the center of social life for all members and for guests who can take advantage of numerous services and a structure full of the best comforts in a relaxing atmosphere and in an elegant and exclusive context.
