5 nights with breakfast at Parc Hotel Germano and two green fees per person (Ca degli Ulivi Golf Club and Paradiso del Garda)

On the Veronese shore of Lake Garda north of Bardolino, the Golf Club Ca’ degli Ulivi’s 18 holes (plus 9 executives) wind through a natural setting of rare beauty with an exceptionally mild climate that allows golf to be played all year long. The olive trees for which the club is named are naturally the protagonists, for both the Championship course, a par 72 requiring understanding and the ability to take advantage of the sloping terrain, as well as the Mirabello, a par 31 that is perfect for precision training and short strokes (chipping). The 13th hole is the most difficult, a par 4 that is 394 meters long from the yellow tees: use a full wood at the tee, aiming for the right part of the fairway – to the left, there is hardly any room for error with the dense trees and the out-of-bounds just off the rough! For your second shot, play a middle or long iron over the hill in front of you to land on the green, wide and on several levels. At the end of the match, go down 2.5 kilometers until you reach the historic center of Garda, a lovely fishing village facing the lake. Enjoy the panorama sweeping from the lakefront up to beneath the fortress, or get lost in the romantic cobblestone alleyways: you’ll always cherish the memory Technical Details Course : 18 + 9 holes Architect : Cotton Pennick & Partners Topography : hilly, among olive trees and cypresses Special fesatures : 18-hole championship course & 9-hole executive course
