Albarella Golf Links

Albarella Golf Links is known all over the world as 'the course born from the sea'. It was 1972 when John Dering Harris created this course, 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 courses built near the sea that have made the history of golf. I will build a course 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. The course, a par 72, has a lenght of 6130 m. The club offers also to its vistors a golf academy with the top of technology and a short game area with 3 practice greens and a bunker. The golf facility is open 365 days a year.
