- Golfing Holidays
Verdura Resort presents a golf experience unlike any other. Our links style courses, designed by Kyle Phillips, use the natural green contours of the landscape and are lined with orange and olive groves. Warmed by the Mediterranean sun and refreshed by the sea breeze, the courses are free from any buildings, offering uninterrupted views of the azure waters from the undulating greens.
Guests will experience the Rocco Forte Hotels philosophy across every aspect of Verdura, from stylish accommodation to world-class spa facilities and elegant restaurants and bars. Other attractions include tennis courts and water sports, dedicated kid and teen clubs and guaranteed outstanding service.
Home of the European Tour’s Rocco Forte Sicilian Open, Verdura provides golf on a grand scale, with the personal service and attention to detail more usually associated with a private club. Designed to challenge golfers of all levels, the courses are built on spectacular playing surfaces to provide golfing conditions of the highest level.

Verdura Links
Par 73 – 6763 metres / 7396 yards
Renovated and restored under the expert supervision of original course architect Kyle Phillips, Verdura Links provides plenty of unforgettable moments throughout the round. Darting away from the clubhouse, highlights later in the round include the sixth hole, which requires a carefully-placed tee shot to avoid water on the left and right, while a fairway bunker lurks on the right side. Once that is safely negotiated, an undulating green is guarded by two bunkers and more water at the front – and all with the beach and the lapping waves just a few steps away at the back of the green.
Verdura Shore
Par 70 – 6547 metres / 7160 yards
There is no gentle opening on the Verdura Shore, with three lengthy par-fours to start the round, before the first of five par-threes puts your accuracy to the test. Challenging greens will examine the putting skills at every turn and as the front nine winds its way up through the estate, the back nine makes its way down to the Mediterranean with some exceptional views of the ocean.
Befitting of this five-star experience, Verdura is home to two championship golf courses designed by world-famous architect Kyle Phillips. With the likes of Kingsbarns and The Grove already amongst his past successes, Phillips has set about creating a golf experience which defies its youth and draws on ancient heritage from Scottish links courses normally found along the East Lothian coastline. Considered to be one of the best golf resorts in Europe, Verdura is a golf holiday in Italy that delivers above and beyond travellers expectations year after year.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Sicily’s charming coastline, Verdura is a paradise for golfers looking to enjoy the epic Mediterranean sun. As Sir Rocco Forte’s first golf resort offering, Verdura Golf Resort and Spa has set out its stall amongst the very finest of golf holiday destinations. The accommodation is the picture of 5-star luxury, with enchanting ocean vistas and the beach just metres away.
