A pity…!
Reviewed October 17, 2023
Unfortunately, Paradiso is no longer what it used to be when I think of my first round in May 2006, top place and great hotel! Just 20 years later, both are just a shadow of what they once were...!

The conversion was not successful
Reviewed October 9, 2023
We have played the course several times (2014 - 2020).
Despite the car construction site, we played the course on October 2nd, 2023.
The preliminary renovation was unsuccessful. The first lanes in particular are too close together. The balls on the greens suddenly drifted to the side. A pity.
Hopefully the place will go back to how it was before the highway construction. Then we'd love to come back.

Impudently
Reviewed September 18, 2023
We played the course two weeks ago. Registered by phone beforehand, then paid the green fee at reception and off we went.
The fairways looked freshly scarified, it wasn't pretty but it was still OK. The greens were medium fast and quite stable.
When we arrived at number 14, our satisfaction was over. A large scarifying machine drove along the fairway and ripped up the ground. This exposed a lot of grass clippings and thatch. Not thinking about playing. And on the 16 the blower was at work to move these remains to the side. So we could only play 17 and 18 with resentment in our stomachs.
Our complaint at reception was met with a shrug of the shoulders, even though the work there was known. An absolute no go, not pointing this out beforehand.
The design itself is okay, unfortunately there are a lot of foreign grasses and brown spots on the pitch.
Conclusion: We were disappointed and would not come back.

Paradise no longer exists!
Reviewed November 2, 2022
We have been guests at the Paradsio del Garda Golf Club for many years!
After a long break we played the course again in October 2022 and were very disappointed.
Anyone who knows the course knows that the golf course is on the busiest highway from Milan to Venice. That didn't bother us in the past because the layout of the course was very interesting.
Unfortunately, during our current visit, we had to realize that three beautiful and really interesting holes - the former holes two, three and four - fell victim to the conversion of the said motorway and no longer exist. Instead, three less interesting holes were integrated into the golf course elsewhere. In addition, the golf course now borders on a very large construction site due to the conversion of the Aobahn.
This change has prompted us to remove the course from our list as there are other golf courses in and around Lake Garda.
Sorry Paradiso del Garda Golf Club!

Unfortunately a big disappointment
Reviewed July 26, 2022
If you prefer an unfriendly greeting in the secretariat, construction site noise, highway noise, unacceptable carts, annoying caddy masters and inattentive greenkeepers, this is the place for you.
Too bad about the place because the layout of the tracks would be good and the place is certainly interesting to play. But the side effects mean that we will certainly no longer play this course.

Horrible
Reviewed September 24, 2021
Have played the course today. Can confirm the soaking wet fairways. You literally sink into the square. The place has been rebuilt by a construction site on the Autobahm and completely confusing in the sequence of holes. You walk between two tracks about 500m on gravel paths. Due to the construction site, it was also totally loud!
Never again. Avoid the square and prefer Italian food.

Golf to get used to
Reviewed September 4, 2021
We played the course for the last time 10 years ago and found it to be quite good. But what has now been created by the renovation does not correspond in any way to golf course architecture.
The course can be played on totally soaked fairways in the middle of summer. You even lose balls in the middle of the fairway.
We were happy to have finished the 18 holes.

Disaster
Reviewed August 23, 2021
We were already here last year and were very satisfied.
However, this year was a total disappointment.
Unfriendly reception, dirty cart and completely changed fairways were the first problems.
Fortunately we had decided on a cart, because the redesign means that there are almost 500m between 2 holes.
The biggest problem was the condition of the fairways. For us average players, the boggy and soggy fairways were hardly playable on all 18 holes. The irrigation systems continued to run diligently everywhere, although every step already caused suction and mud noises.
So it's no fun at all - no longer recommended and we will definitely not be back!

Review from October 2020
Reviewed August 13, 2021
Due to the corona year 2020, I have been playing golf more intensively for a long time and wanted to prepare for an upcoming tournament in Berlin while on vacation at Lake Garada. Due to lack of space, I only had a half-sentence and a few balls with me. The course was in good condition from the green and the maintenance of the fairways. Only the structural facilities and the signs were catastrophic. Some signposts were missing so that it was difficult to find the next hole. The perforated boards were also missing. The fairways were severely softened by the rain. My deletant game and the very demanding course led to a miserable score and several lost balls ;-) I tried it a total of 4 times on vacation, but the score only got one or two beats better.
The exercise facilities are not particularly large, but they are well done. The clubhouse, including the hotel complex and terrace, is somewhat reminiscent of a hotel in a ski area. You can have a bite to eat and on the terrace you can end the round well. Unfortunately you only have a limited view of the tracks 1 and 9 because a parapet to a street below the terrace blocks the view
I will play this course again in a week and expect the course not to tear again after a year of practice. I will then rate the place one more time

Just not my place
Reviewed August 11, 2021
We were here last year and were very amazed that the course of the course has changed.
We saw the full extent later.
It's a shame that the back part was cut off.
A part of the short course was built as a replacement.
Not bad - but very long distances as a result.
When it's hot - very uncomfortable.
Hole 18 is still the horror :-)
Ok, I've never left them with dots either. Frustrating when you just fail on the last lane. ;-)
The clubhouse does not invite you to linger. Too bad.

Attention! Garage inviting to break in
Reviewed May 29, 2021
We played there at the end of May, right after the borders were opened.
It is now open to all activities again, including criminals.
The small parking lot was full, so I asked the office where we could park. An indication of the location of the garages came.
The garages even then in 2 floors, a bit confusing and neglected.
When we got back after the game, I was amazed at the open glove compartment, but my husband immediately saw the broken pieces in the driver's seat. The front window on the side had been smashed. Apparently it was all about money and it had to be done quickly. Backpack and some things were ransacked. But since we had brought money and cell phones with us, nothing was missing. In our car, two expensive e-bikes stood in a Bike Inside stand and were chained.
The vacation would be completely messed up if they had been gone.
I think I can remember that the lady at the bar said that even in the free parking lot further away, this has happened several times.
So don't leave handbags open, etc. or avoid the garages right away!
Unfortunately, far too little is done there anyway... multiple cameras really don't cost the world.
But also last year we were told a case, believe at Garda Golf. Several thousand euros were stolen from a Condomini's car because it was on the bench before the game.
A whole armada of Romanians hired as Greenkeaper and Co and were soon no longer seen.
It has long been known not to leave anything in the car, but also not to leave a cart or bag alone further away from the green or tee.
Creative tip: Have money and cell phone hidden in the heavy rear awning of the cart.
You can also hear a lot in Radstadt, where you take the gondola down to the tee. A ball seller warned me on Tenerife.
You should also make a short note on this topic here, as it can really spoil your golf vacation.

Played on May 19th, 2021 The course had to be changed due to the expansion of the motorway.
I find the current situation unsatisfactory because the distances involved are sometimes very long.

Otherwise place in top condition. Beautiful fairways and great greens.

The field is challenging and therefore requires concentration. The greens are really one of the reasons to play here: once you get to them, another sport begins. And if you're not reading the slopes well, the 3 putts aren't exceptional. Nice!

Very sad...
Reviewed July 5, 2020
I can join 100% of the last review (by Sven B)! 7 years ago I didn't like the course, but at that time I only played the front nine. Now I wanted to give Paradiso a new chance and played all 18 holes. What can I say? Nothing has changed for the better over the years...
In addition to the not far away Ulivi golf course, another example of how you can let an actually charming golf course deteriorate... I find the Layour interesting over long distances and the course could be really fun if the notice boards on the tees were not completely missing, the signs for the next tee are better or available at all, trash bins are not full and the equipment (e.g. ball washer) is not as worn out.
The fairways were a little bit too soft for me, but I could still overlook them. The countless pitch marks on the fairways were bad - but the players are primarily responsible for that. I didn't think the greens were that bad, but yes, you could start here.
The noise of the neighboring motorway is disruptive over long distances. I found 60 euros green fee okay, but if you drive 30 kilometers further, you play in Franciacorta a dream meadow. What is also missing is the cosiness after the round. Paradiso cannot shine like Ulivi, where you have a wonderful view over Lake Garda.
The two holes I remember the most are the last two. On the 17, a par 4 with 273 meters, you can attack the green about 150 meters (?) Away directly, but you have to overcome a lake and the green is comparatively small. And the 18 is a wonderful par 5 monster of yellow 503 meters long with a narrow tee, several "plateus", trees, water... Great challenge. Especially when you play it for the first time.
I did not know that fever measurement is currently mandatory on Italy's golf courses. But the fact that the hygiene rules in Paradiso are not taken so seriously can also be seen from the fact that rakes are lying around, there are no bets in the holes and the ball washers can be used. You can stand by these rules as you like, but those responsible on a golf course should implement them for their guests.
Conclusion: If you would work here with a little more attention to detail and more dedication to the maintenance of the course, then the place could be a pearl in the south of Lake Garda. So it is only acceptable if you just want to play a round of golf (because the course can be fun), but don't value anything else...

The paint is tremendous
Reviewed June 25, 2020
Unfortunately, the golf course is in a very bad condition, without knowledge of the course you can only recommend not to play it: the holes are not labeled, there are no maps for the route and no signage worth mentioning.
The buggies are completely dirty and in poor condition and for EUR 45.—
The fairways are ok, a bit too soft, the greens are full of mushroom holes and extremely slow.
Also the Covid 19 rules are not observed in the club, for example the fever measurement, which is mandatory in Italy, is omitted.
All in all, the place was not worth the EUR 60., currently you only pay EUR 50-60 in Franviacorta, for example, and get excellent service and space.

... american feeling...
Reviewed August 9, 2019
... from the layout over the teas, the fairways and the greens, even the grass types fit.
No wonder Jim Fazio worked here, he comes from a large course designer family.
George was the uncle and started in the early fifties. He built Pinehurts No 6 among others.
Tom, George's nephew, is one of the Big Five in the industry and has two courses in Pinehurts No 6 and No 8. No one has more in the top 100 of the states than him.
In this cropped terrain, a good and demanding Campo has emerged, the orderly earth movements support the same. The score card would not suggest this. Most par 4 are not so long, you can attack two greens from the teas.
The greens follow the terrain, they have considerable height differences and are excellent to play.
If you want to get into the clubhouse with a good score, Targetgolf is required. We had to play the distances, there was hardly a roll. They watered the fairways and the greens well, so they were very soft. In addition, the paradise was partly very dry and hard, but still pretty playable.
Overall, this Campo is very well maintained - but not top.
Basically, you can play this Campo very well on foot - in hot weather take enough liquid with, shady trees are barely there.
That you have to use the Carpath is like that, is also true, otherwise the fairways are over.
Some holes along the A4 are loud, the rest is fine.
It is a paradise, a family paradise. The kids can splash in several pools and the parents can play golf or tennis.
We have been staying here for the second time since 2008.

Nice golfing experience despite car noise
Reviewed May 22, 2019
Somewhat skeptical, I went to tea 1, because the reviews from the years 2017 and 2018 are not exactly great.
It may be that in 2017 and 2018 the place condition was not as good as in this rainy May (2019). Anyway, I really liked the design of Jim Fazio, because the variety of the tree population, the varied holes and the very beautiful greens as well as the well-mowed fairways and manicured sand bunkers make the game interesting here.
One should distinguish between course maintenance and the behavior of golfers. Slow game can not be charged to the place. When divots do not come back and pitch holes are not from the golfers themselves

We played the place on a friday. Highway - well. I have in many places. My wife was more disturbed by the crickets, which were even louder (my 2nd HCP is deafness - in this case a "blessing"). But: we had never seen such a badly maintained place. Divots without end on the court (no one seems to put back). The greens (see above) and not very well maintained.
The rear 9 were slightly better (also tricky).
The nicest was - as already mentioned by others - the hotel terrace. Also the food you can recommend. The bathroom afterwards in the hotel pool (according to the statement for golfers is free) has something to compensate.

Course was in good shape, fairways like carpet, greens fast, highway, our group absolutely not disturbed. Some tracks very "tricky". For a stay on Lake Garda is recommended this place. Tip of the round: Sit up on the hotel terrace, is much nicer as the benches and chairs below. Also the hotel we can recommend without ifs and buts. Food and drink great, good value for money. The only drawback, wireless only at the lobby.

Otherwise, the fairways and roughs were to play well from the cutting heights ago. Pleasant: The Greenkeeper worked always very early or late in the afternoon. We were anyway disturbed on any day (3 rounds over three days) in our game. We also had no waiting, although in 10 min. Clock was started. Drawback: The Range unfortunately only Matt haircuts.

One thing, we have thankfully paid and only played 9 holes. Had we booked 18 we would be back to the first 9 and this had also complained or reclaimed.
Reception unfriendly and disinterested, it was interesting with an acquaintance / friend or whatever to talk.
Pro shop has something of a sell-off from the layout, Caddy Master was not even find our trolley then have organized themselves.
The reductions, roughs and greens in a very bad condition. Pitch marks and divots interest probably not here, not even the Greenkeeper. Bunker tracks are not removed by the players.
Precise game helps, but I know more challenging courses.
The positive thing about the place is solely the garage. A star there for the garage, the second for the price. 40 Euro at the weekend is ok, for this place, however, not reasonable.

Reviewed August 29, 2014
First of all: We only played the front nine because it was working on the back nine...
I wavered initially between 2 or 3 stars, but actually there's only disappointed but 2! 3 stars would justify the quite challenging layout with some tricky tracks and challenging doglegs, but then spark but too many negative impressions in between.
It begins at the approach to the plant. Tourist buses outside the hotel, dance music from the pool opposite... Not very attractive application with just a simple pro shop. Output defective for range balls, so we had to jump to tee...
The condition on the day of our visit was underground and not very helpful for the self-promotion of the plant. Marshy, partly larger areas damaged fairways, heavily sanded and hardly accurate to playing greens. Damaged or lying about signs at or to the tee. Lack of towels in the Ballwaschern. And to make matters worse - and that will never change can be - almost always disturbing noise by the right of motorway. This is not golf enjoyment!
Then a lot of traffic on the tracks and none since that controls the - our Italian four-Flight before us had nerves of steel and each putt (after the countless beatings) was still eagerly discussed on the spot...
Conclusion: Interesting layout and not easy to play, but overall a more tourist-scale plant with significant verbesserungswürdigem standard of care. We will never play there

This golf course is beautifully landscaped. It is hilly, has very nice fairways and greens, but little compressed. Which means, you have used the available space optimally. If the space is not between the highway and several large resort buildings that he really was a highlight.
But the resort attracts many beginners. After the flight took 22 minutes first par 4's in front of us, he let us pass to hole 2nd On hole 3 then we are already running again. Before us only beginners flights. For players, let's say from 36 HCP, these flights are unbearable. For good players, a "pain in the ass"! A Marshall, who pays attention only bit on the timing, none!
