Challenging courses, a pleasant climate, rolling Italian countryside, wonderful gastronomy and, of course, magnificent Lake Garda together create a destination where golf and holidays go hand in hand. Those choosing golf in Italy quickly discover that a day does not end on the 18th green. Afterwards, there is an aperitivo on a terrace, a good glass of Italian wine and dinner featuring fresh regional cuisine.

With Golf Direct, your Lake Garda golf holiday can be tailored entirely to your requirements. From staying at a dedicated golf resort to combining several golf courses, flights, rental cars and pre-booked tee times, all elements can be brought together in one complete travel proposal.

Lake Garda golf holidays for those who enjoy the good life

Lake Garda is one of northern Italy's most beautiful holiday destinations. The lake is surrounded by mountains, rolling green hills, vineyards, olive trees and historic towns. Combine this scenery with excellent golf courses and it is easy to understand the attraction of Lake Garda golf holidays. There is a varied selection of golf clubs around the lake, each with its own character. You can choose a holiday on which you play a different course every day or stay at a dedicated resort where you can walk from your hotel room to the golf course. The latter is one of the main advantages of Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf. With 36 championship holes spread across four courses, golfers can enjoy several rounds without needing to drive to a different club every day.

Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf

For golfers who wish to combine convenience and golf as much as possible, Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf is an excellent base. The resort is situated at Pozzolengo in the rolling countryside south of Lake Garda. A hotel, apartments, golf courses, restaurants, wellness and sporting facilities have all been created around a historic Benedictine Abbey. The great advantage is that golf is available directly at the hotel. After breakfast there is no need for a lengthy transfer. Instead, you can prepare for your round at a relaxed pace. Afterwards, return to the hotel for a drink, a swim or some time in the wellness facilities. This makes San Vigilio suitable not only for dedicated golfers but also for couples and groups wishing to alternate golf with relaxation.

36 holes directly at the hotel

The golf offering at Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf comprises four courses: Benaco, Solferino, San Martino and Pozzolengo. Together they provide 36 holes and a variety of combinations for golfers planning several rounds during a longer stay. The landscape is typical of this beautiful part of northern Italy: gently rolling, green and peaceful. Golf is therefore not only an enjoyable sporting challenge, but also an opportunity to play in surroundings that enhance the holiday experience. For golfers wanting four or five rounds during a week's holiday, this represents a significant advantage. There is no need to plan long morning journeys and your golfing programme can be organised at a relaxed pace.

More golf around Lake Garda

If you would like to discover several clubs during your golf holiday in Italy, Golf Direct can combine your stay at San Vigilio with green fees at other courses in the surrounding area. One of the best-known names is Gardagolf Country Club near Soiano del Lago. This club offers 27 holes and is among the better-known courses around Lake Garda. Golf Club Paradiso del Garda is another attractive option from the southern part of the lake. Combining a few rounds at San Vigilio with other clubs creates a varied programme and allows you to discover different aspects of golf at Lake Garda.

Golf in Italy and la dolce vita

One of the greatest attractions of golf in Italy is everything there is to enjoy away from the course. Italy is a destination where sport and the good life naturally belong together. After your round, there is no need to think immediately about the next day's golf. Visit Sirmione, stroll along the waterfront in Desenzano del Garda or enjoy an aperitivo in Peschiera del Garda. Verona is another excellent destination for a day trip. Italian cuisine makes the holiday complete. From fresh pasta and risotto to local fish dishes, olive oil, cheeses and regional wines, every day provides another opportunity for enjoyment. This also makes Lake Garda ideal for golfers travelling with a partner who does not play, or prefers to play less frequently. While golfers are on the course, the Lake Garda region offers numerous possibilities for wellness, shopping, culture, walking and sightseeing.

Lake Garda golf holidays with wellness

A demanding round of golf is even more enjoyable when you can relax in a spa afterwards. Garda Hotel San Vigilio Golf features indoor and outdoor swimming pools and wellness facilities, making it easy to combine golf and relaxation. The resort is therefore attractive for longer golf holidays where you might alternate a day on the course with a quieter day at the pool or an excursion around the lake.

When to play golf at Lake Garda

Spring and autumn are particularly attractive seasons for a golf holiday in northern Italy. Temperatures during these periods are generally pleasant for golf and the region can be enjoyed outside the busiest summer months. Summer is also an option. Golfers travelling in warmer periods can opt for early tee times and spend their afternoons relaxing by the pool or visiting one of the towns around the lake.

Travelling to Lake Garda by car

For golfers from Belgium and the Netherlands, Lake Garda is easily accessible by car. Travelling in your own vehicle provides plenty of freedom and makes it straightforward to bring your own golf equipment. A car is also convenient locally if you wish to combine several golf courses or explore different towns around Lake Garda. Those who prefer to fly can, depending on their departure point, use airports such as Verona, Bergamo or Milan and continue their journey with a rental car.

Tailor-made golf holidays with Golf Direct

A successful golf holiday involves more than simply reserving a hotel and a few green fees. Choosing the right accommodation, suitable tee times, distances between hotel and golf courses and local transport all play an important role in ensuring a relaxed trip.

That is why Golf Direct creates personalised Lake Garda golf holidays. Would you like five nights and three rounds of golf? A complete week with five rounds? Or would you prefer to combine several courses while keeping enough time to explore Lake Garda? Your programme can be adapted to your wishes.

Hotel accommodation, golf, flights, rental cars or transfers can all be combined within a single travel proposal. This provides a clear overview of your holiday in advance and removes the need to arrange every element separately.
