Verdura Resort

Nestled along Sicily’s breathtaking coastline, Verdura Resort presents an unparalleled golfing experience across its spectacular 230-hectare estate. Home to two exceptional 18-hole championship courses and a versatile 9-hole par-3 course—all masterfully designed by world-renowned Californian architect Kyle Phillips, famous for creating Scotland’s acclaimed Kingsbarns Golf Links—Verdura offers a sublime Mediterranean golfing paradise where every hole showcases panoramic sea views.

Verdura West Shore

First opened in 2010 and recently revitalized through an extensive renovation by Phillips himself, Verdura West Shore stands as an 18-hole masterpiece against one of European golf’s most stunning backdrops. This course rewards accuracy above all else, with strategically placed bunkers and deceptively challenging rough demanding precision from tee to green. The fresh sea breeze adds another compelling dimension to your game, while fast, firm putting surfaces test even the most skilled players.

The course reaches a breathtaking crescendo with its final six holes running mere steps from the sapphire Mediterranean shoreline—a closing stretch unmatched anywhere in Italy. Phillips’ recent refurbishment introduced a state-of-the-art irrigation system including two lakes, ensuring pristine playing conditions year-round.

Verdura East Links

Long regarded as one of Europe’s finest courses, Verdura East Links was elevated to new heights following Phillips’ 2019 remodeling. This par-72 layout provides a thorough examination of every aspect of your game as it winds along Sicily’s dramatic southern coastline. Strategic play is essential to navigate the craftily placed bunkers, while the sprawling greens demand careful attention to every putt.

Never straying far from the Mediterranean Sea, the course features a spectacular three-hole stretch between the sixth and eighth, where nerves of steel are required to avoid sending your ball to the depths of the bay below.

Verdura Executive

This versatile nine-hole course is perfect for honing your short game or enjoying a relaxing sunset round. Created to the same exacting standards as its championship siblings, Verdura Executive weaves through the resort’s serene hotel and spa grounds, featuring signature well-placed bunkers, challenging greens, and picturesque views—all on a scale accessible to players of every ability.

In 2025 Verdura Resort unveils its new Golf Lounge and Pro Shop, becoming the central hub for golfers with state-of-the-art changing facilities and everything players need before and after their round. The Golf Lounge and bar will serve a wide selection of refreshments, while a spacious new terrace overlooking the 18th Green of Verdura West Shore will provide the perfect setting to relax after challenging these magnificent Mediterranean links.

Begin each day like a true islander with complimentary breakfast enjoyed against endless sea views, and enrich your experience with captivating cultural excursions and thrilling land and sea activities—all amidst fragrant orchards, ancient olive groves, and pristine white beaches. At Verdura Resort, the essence of Sicily meets world-class golf in perfect harmony.
