Thanks to the picturesque coastlines of the Mediterranean and the lush green terrains, Sardinia has become a paradise for golfers from all over the world. Brilliant blue skies and stunning backdrop scenes are sure to spoil veteran and amateur golfers alike.
Il Golf Pevero is located on the elegant Costa Smeralda. When the Aga Khan first saw the Cala di Volpe bay space, he said it would be a perfect location for a large golf course. It was an understatement: today Il Golf Pevero is considered one of the most magnificent golf courses in the world. It boasts of its dense vegetation, strange rock formations, and stunning views of the sea. There are shops, restaurants, electric carts, swimming pool and a bar.
Other golf courses under development on the island include the 18-hole club at Is Arenas in Oristano and the 9-hole course at Puntaldia in San Teodoro.
If you’re a golf student, the schools and driving ranges make northern Sardinia a great place to pick up a club and play with it for the first time.
In Sardinia, golf has grown enormously in the last five years. One of the reasons is the need to extend the tourist season in Italy. Sardinia’s long summers and relatively short winters made it possible for tourists to stay longer and explore new golf courses even in the months of November to February.
Although golf originated in Scotland, where it rains more than it shines, and even if golfers are used to playing in any weather, Sardinia’s mild climate is too hard to resist.
Statistics on world tourism show that there is a steady increase in golf fans traveling from Northern Europe, Japan and the United States. For example, along the Mediterranean coasts of Spain and the Balearic Islands, its golf facilities are not enough to satisfy the thousands of players that pass through each year.
Sardinia offers these tourists not only alternatives, but extraordinary options that may even exceed their high golf standards. Apart from that, they can also discover the archaeology, food and wine, culture, history and natural beauty of Sardinia.
For added convenience, hotels in Sardinia can help you get a reservation at various golf courses on the island. There are also shuttle services that can take you to the fields.
