Pevero Golf Club
Robert Trent Jones Senior carved Pevero out of the granite and macchia of the Costa Smeralda in 1972, a project backed by the Aga Khan as the centrepiece of his Sardinian resort. A par 72 running between the bays of Pevero and Cala di Volpe, it is regularly named among the most beautiful courses in the Mediterranean.

The verdict
Pevero sits on the northeast tip of Sardinia, in the glamorous Costa Smeralda that the Aga Khan developed from the 1960s. He commissioned Robert Trent Jones Senior to build the golf, and the course that opened in 1972 threads through a landscape of pink granite boulders, scented maquis and sea views in nearly every direction.
It is a dramatic, demanding par 72, with elevation changes, forced carries over rocky scrub and greens perched to catch the wind off the water. The scenery, between Pevero Bay and Cala di Volpe, is the headline, and on the right summer evening it is hard to think of a more photogenic place to play. Green fees are seasonal and the course is open to visitors, which makes it a genuine bucket list round on a Sardinian holiday.

The holes worth the trip
Pevero is shaped by its terrain, with fairways funnelling between pink granite outcrops and thick Mediterranean scrub that punishes anything wild. Trent Jones used the natural ridges and valleys to create elevated tees and demanding carries, so position and a confident long iron count for more than raw length on this rugged ground.
The greens are firm, sloped and exposed to the sea breeze, which can turn a short approach into a genuine test of judgement. Several holes play toward the water, with Pevero Bay on one side of the property and Cala di Volpe on the other, and the views can be as distracting as the hazards are penal.
It is the combination of championship pedigree and postcard scenery that makes Pevero special, a serious Trent Jones design set in one of the most glamorous corners of the Mediterranean. Pace yourself, enjoy the views, and save something for a closing stretch that asks real questions with the sea glittering beyond.

Where to stay nearby
The natural base is the Costa Smeralda itself, where Porto Cervo and the surrounding bays hold some of Italy's most famous resort hotels, from the grand Cala di Volpe to a string of boutique options near the marina. A stay here puts Pevero a few minutes away and the beaches and dining of the coast all around.
For a wider Sardinian trip, the northeast coast combines the golf with sailing, the Maddalena archipelago and the inland granite villages of Gallura. It is an indulgent region to build a summer golf and beach holiday around, with Pevero as the headline round.
