Golf Ca’ Della Nave

Just a short drive from Venice, Ca’ della Nave Golf Club is a masterful blend of American golf architecture and Italian landscape design. This was the first course in Italy designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer, who brought his signature flair to a 75-hectare estate rich in history, nature, and challenge. Inaugurated in 1988 with the Women’s Italian Open, the club remains one of Northern Italy’s premier golf destinations.

Palmer’s design includes a 18-hole Championship course (Par 72, 6,350 meters) and draws inspiration from Venice itself, with 12 of the 18 championship holes featuring artificial lakes that mirror the serenity and complexity of the Venetian lagoon. Towering trees, now mature, line the fairways, making bold shortcuts on doglegs a thing of the past.

Large American-style bunkers and expansive, fast greens challenge even the most experienced players, while the finishing hole—set in a natural amphitheater—is a dramatic conclusion to any round. Every feature has been thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, creating a technically demanding and visually captivating experience.

Beyond the greens, the club offers a full suite of amenities: a spacious driving range, putting green, rental equipment, Pro Shop with top brands, pools, and fine dining at on-site restaurants. Whether you’re relaxing between rounds or traveling light, you’ll find everything you need—from caddies and carts to towels and toiletries—ready and waiting.

A favorite among competitive players and a true gem in Italy’s golf scene, Ca’ della Nave Golf Club offers the perfect mix of sport, style, and setting—where every swing is steeped in the elegance of Venetian tradition and the innovation of American design.
