Golf Club Grado

Tucked between the peaceful waters of the Laguna di Grado and the open horizon of the Adriatic Sea, Golf Club Grado is a true coastal gem. This 18-hole, par 72 championship course, masterfully designed by Marco Croze in the 1990s, unfolds over more than 6,000 meters of rolling green bordered by wetlands, reeds, and native vegetation.

Here, golf is more than a sport—it’s a dialogue with the landscape. Water comes into play on nearly every hole, not just as a challenge, but as a poetic companion to your game. The iconic island green stands as the course’s signature moment: a test of precision, nerve, and calm, reminiscent of the legendary holes that have made golf history.

The course hosts major events such as the Friuli Venezia Giulia Open and the PGA Senior Italia Doubles Championships, drawing players from across Europe and beyond. But it remains deeply rooted in its local charm—a place where you can tee off at dawn while the lagoon stirs to life, and walk the fairways beneath a sky streaked with sea light.

Newcomers can find their footing on the driving range with help from expert instructors, while more experienced players will discover a course that rewards smart play, especially when the sea breeze shifts direction. Every hole offers a new perspective, a fresh view, a chance to recalibrate.

Once your round is done, settle into the Clubhouse for a glass of wine or a plate of creatively reimagined Friulian cuisine. And if you’re staying at Tenuta Primero, the exclusive seaside resort just steps away, you’ll have everything you need for a perfect retreat—from private beaches and elegant villas to tailored green fee packages.

Golf Club Grado isn’t just a place to play—it’s a place to feel the rhythm of the sea, one swing at a time.
