Golf in the hinterland of Venice: mature parkland courses set among Palladian villas, Prosecco vineyards and the cities of Treviso and Padua, all within an hour of the Grand Canal.

The Veneto is the thinking golfer's Italian trip, golf as the frame around one of the richest cultural corners of Europe. The courses are handsome parkland layouts threaded through old estates and 19th century parks rather than dramatic seaside links, and the real luxury is what surrounds them: Venice and its lagoon, the frescoed villas of Palladio, the Prosecco hills of Conegliano and the food and wine of Treviso. It suits couples and groups who want civilized morning golf and unforgettable afternoons.
Everything sits within an hour of everything else, so base once near Treviso or Venice and reach the lot. Build the trip around Golf Club Villa Condulmer, the grande dame of the area in a Palladian style park, add the 27 holes of Golf della Montecchia near Padua and the rolling Asolo course beneath its medieval hill town, and you have three contrasting rounds with the Grand Canal never far away.
The grande dame of Veneto golf, a short drive from Venice at Mogliano Veneto. The first nine were drawn by John Harris and the second by Marco Croze, and the whole course flows through the mature park of an 18th century villa, with the elegant Villa Condulmer hotel beside the first tee. Calm, classical and the natural base for a trip.
One of the few 27 hole complexes in the region, laid out by the Irish architect Tom Macauley across the estate of the Counts Emo Capodilista near the spa town of Abano. A free, modern layout with plenty of water, it has long been one of the busiest and best regarded clubs on the Venetian plain.
Set on rolling country beneath the medieval hill town of Asolo, this European Golf Design layout offers 27 holes and the prettiest setting of the three, with the foothills of the Dolomites on the horizon and the Prosecco vineyards a short drive north. A fine finish to a Veneto week.

Fly into Venice or Treviso, settle into the Villa Condulmer hotel or a Treviso base. An evening of cicchetti and a glass of Prosecco.
The headline round in the villa park, then the afternoon train into Venice for St Mark's and the back canals.
Drive south for 18 holes at Montecchia, with time afterward for the frescoes of Padua or the spa waters of Abano.
A final round beneath the hill town of Asolo, lunch in a vineyard among the Prosecco hills, then an evening flight.
Drive times between the Veneto courses are typically thirty minutes to an hour; Venice, Treviso and Padua are all within easy reach of a single base.

The Veneto plays best in spring and autumn, April to June and September to October, when the weather is warm and settled, the courses are at their finest and the cities are at their most enjoyable. High summer is hot and humid on the plain, while mild winters still allow playable golf between cold snaps. Book the leading clubs a couple of weeks ahead in high season, and avoid the worst of the Venice tourist crush by visiting the city early or late in the day.
Tell us the courses you want and roughly when. One concierge costs the whole trip to the head and replies within one working day, with no obligation.
