THE COLLI BERICI GOLF CLUB
The golf course, situated on the western offshoots of the Berici hills, at an average altitude of around 300 metres above sea level, adapts harmoniously to the natural contours of the land.
The first nine holes, on terraced terrain overlooking the Po valley, enjoy a fabulous panorama over the Lessini mountains and the Small Dolomites, whereas the last nine holes enter thick restful woodland made up of oak, hornbeam and chestnut trees.
The magnificent climate enjoyed by the area, airy in the summer and sunny in the winter, and the perfect drainage of the land, allow playing to continue pleasantly throughout the year, even when dense fog persists in the area below or after heavy rain.
The Colli Berici course is anything but "monotonous". Each time the player takes it on, whatever his level, he can change his playing strategy, type of game and the variety of shots.
It is a course which rewards ability rather than technique, it being much more productive to direct the ball to positions allowing greater tranquillity for the next shot, rather than looking for distance at all costs.
The standard for the course is par 71, subdivided into five par 3 holes, nine par 4 holes and four par 5 holes. The most interesting and rewarding holes are the 12th par 4 hole, with departure from above and the fairway literally carved out of the woods and the 17th 430 metre par 5 hole with slight dog-leg left, the final part of the fairway being completely covered by a lake protecting the green.
