The Course

The style of classic British routes
in the splendid scenery of the Venetian lagoon

Albarella Golf Links is known all over the world as ‘the golf course born of the sea’.

Designed by the English architect John Dering Harris, it covers 70 hectares of land between the sea and the lagoon of the Po Delta Natural Park, in an 18-hole course characterized by a series of obstacles of water and sand, that put a strain on the skill of the players with dunes, lakes and wild olive trees.

Characteristics
BORN OF THE SEA

It was 1972 when Harris devised this path, called 'sea links', by extracting over two million cubic meters of sand from the sea. This process has allowed to obtain an optimal soil drainage in order to ensure the game even in the wetter and rainy seasons.
“I will draw 18 holes near the beach and I will recall the style of the classic Scottish links, the tracks built near the sea that have made the history of golf. I will build a path that will marry the best technique to a wonderful landscape. Behold, Scotland with Mediterranean climate" he declared.
And so he did, creating a perfect fusion between the classic British courses and the breathtaking scenery of the Venetian lagoon, where today live several species of wild animals, including fallow deers, hares and pheasants. Here the sea breeze accompanies every swing wrapping the athletes with the typical scents of the beach, giving that extra touch of difficulty to a match and making the challenge even more interesting.

HOLE 1

1

 

PAR 4

HCP 5

 

Very long hole with a big bunker of the right side of the fairway. The green is well guarded by two bunkers.

HOLE 2

PAR 4

HCP 3

 

The play takes place between hills covered by thick trees that, with the large bunkers, make the hole particularly delicate.

1a

HOLE 3

1

 

PAR 4

HCP 13

 

Dogleg right toward the sea, the fairway is guarded by two big bunkers and the approach to the raised green is complicated by the sea wind effect.

 287 296  287  264

HOLE 4

1

 

PAR 5

HCP 1

 

Perhaps the most beautiful hole of the whole course, a very long par 5 with raised tee box on sea view, which wraps almost completely the big lake on the right and skirts on the left the embankment of Porto Levante. Each shot is strongly conditioned by these elements; the green, defended by two bunkers, makes the approach very delicate.

HOLE 5

PAR 3

HCP 15

 

A spectacular hole with the green completely surrounded by the lake and therefore particularly challenging, especially when the pin is positioned on the right side.

HOLE 6

PAR 4

HCP 9

 

Very interesting hole with the drive conditioned by the lake that remains on the right and sveral bunkers on the left; the green is very well defended.

 

 370 353
 325 329  316  291

HOLE 7

PAR 4

HCP 7

 

Another long par 4 with a slight dogleg on the right and a very large green defended by two huge bunkers, one on the right side and one on the left.

 

 360 347
 319 329  320  294

 

 

 

1a

HOLE 8

1

 

PAR 3

HCP 11

 

A very delicate hole for the presence of the lake on the left and in front, with a large green defended by bunkers on both sides.

 

 142 133
 122 127  120  110

PAR 5

HCP 17

 

Hole where the show is guaranteed, with a well defended green and several bunkers along the way.

HOLE 10

1

 

PAR 4

HCP 8

 

A challenging drive, with a lake on the right and out of bound on the left side; the large green is realtively easy to catch.

 

 370 350
 322 330  319  293

HOLE 11

1

 

PAR 4

HCP 18

 

A short but challenging hole, toughened by the presence of several bunkers on the left side and around green.

 216 224  220  202

 

 

 

1a

HOLE 12

1

 

PAR 5

HCP 16

 

 

 

A very interesting and delicate hole, with a two-tiers green defended by two bunkers on the right side and guarded by a lake on rear and left side.

 440 423
 389 402  387  356

 

 

 

1a

HOLE 13

1

 

PAR 4

HCP 6

 

 

 

This is an extremely delicate hole that wraps almost entirely the lake, allowing recoveries but also presenting great risks to the player.

 364 348
 320 308  290  267

 

 

 

1a

HOLE 14

1

 

PAR 3

HCP 2

 

Hole that heads towards the sea and therefore the play is influenced a lot by the wind. The green is very well defended green and hard to catch, with the shot that requires a low iron or even a wood.

 

 220 202
 186 189  176  162

 

 

 

1a

HOLE 15

1

 

PAR 5

HCP 14

 

 

 

A very long hole with a large bunker to the right at driving height. The entire route is closed between dunes covered with trees; the green is difende by two bunkers on the sides.

PAR 3

HCP 4

 

Hole along the sea with green almost straddling the dune, made very delicate by the presence of two large bunkers.

HOLE 17

1

 

PAR 4

HCP 10

 

Another hole that runs parallel to the beach with bunkers on the right and the dune on the left; the green is a little raised, with a bunker to close the access on the right side.

 351 341
 314 315  300  276

HOLE 18

1

 

PAR 4

HCP 12

 

The final hole, very scenic with a raised tee-box on sea view; the small size of the green, well defended, makes the approach challenging.
