Nestled between the shimmering Tagliamento River and the tranquil pine forests of Lignano, Lignano Golf Club is a haven for golfers who seek both refinement and relaxation.
Location: Lignano Sabbiadoro, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
Course: 18 holes, Par 72, 6,069 meters
Architect: Marco Croze
Opened: 1992
Season: Open all year round
Designed by the well-known Italian architect Marco Croze, the course stretches across 6,069 meters of gently rolling, beautifully maintained landscape. Its 18-hole, par-72 layout features numerous lakes, expansive bunkers, and strategic hazards that challenge experienced players while remaining enjoyable for beginners.
The club’s training facilities are equally impressive, offering a dedicated pitching and putting green, as well as a nine-bay driving range, perfect for practice or a gentle warm-up before your round.
The terrain is delightfully flat — a quiet luxury that makes the course accessible and enjoyable for all. It’s ideal for golfers who prefer a smooth walk and a relaxed pace, without sacrificing the technical intrigue of a well-designed championship course.
When I played here in autumn, the experience felt almost cinematic: the soft Adriatic light shimmering on the ponds, ducks gliding gracefully across the water, and the scent of pine carried by a gentle breeze. Every hole offers its own tranquil charm, blending nature and design into a seamless experience of elegance and calm.
Beyond the fairways, Lignano Golf Club’s boutique hotel and refined restaurant turn a day of golf into a true getaway. The interiors exude understated Italian sophistication, and the cuisine celebrates local flavors — the perfect reward after a serene round.
Whether you visit for a weekend escape or an extended stay, Lignano Golf Club is more than just a place to play — it’s a destination where time slows down, the game flows naturally, and every moment feels effortlessly luxurious.
