Golf Club

GOLF CLUB CA’ DELLA NAVE

Known by many as Cà della Nave, this golf club goes also by the name Villa Grimani Morosini. It is an architectural complex that consists of different buildings enclosed in a brick wall.
This historically rich location is home to one of Northern Italy’s most important golf clubs, which features a 75 hectares course, an astonishing swimming pool and an atmospheric 18th century villa and its outbuildings.
The golf club in Martellago is the first Italian course designed by US athlete Arnold Palmer at the end of the 80s. The course was inspired by Venice and as such is dotted with water obstacles and 27 holes. The start of the golf course features some dogleg holes which may save some strokes to experienced golfers. As the game continues, the course gets more challenging at every corner with trees and bunkers as obstacles.

GOLF CLUB VILLA CONDULMER

Villa Zerman was built from the remains of a Benedictine monastery by the patrician Condulmer family at the end of the 18th century. Under Austrian dominion, the property was acquired by the powerful Graz family who consequently changed their last name to Grassi, after their defenitively transfer to Venice.
After restoration works, the villa was bought by the Tornielli family, an aristocratic family from Piedmont who loved classic music and  frequently hosted Giuseppe Verdi. At Villa Zerman, Verdi composed the famous La Traviata with a piano that still exists today.
In 1958, Villa Condulmer became an exclusive hotel and in February 1960 it was turned into Golf Club Villa Condulmer with the first nine holes designed by architect John Harris. Thereafter, thanks to the hotel’s concession of the conservatory and the structure that today houses the caddie master, the first Club House was created. This was followed by the purchase of the building that is now the present Club House. Then came the expansion; the wing dedicated to the locker rooms; the restaurant; the terrace; and the second nine holes designed by Marco Croze. The nine-hole executive course and the renovation of the turf of the Championship course with Bermuda Grass, complement the existing structure. To enter the gate of Golf Club Villa Condulmer is to experience the history of golf in the Veneto region.
