Albarella Golf Links

Albarella Island is a natural oasis in the Po Delta Regional Park, recognized with two UNESCO awards. Surrounded by lagoon and sea, 100% of its surface is under strict environmental protection. The 2.5 kilometer long beach of fine sand is awarded the Blue Flag.

It was 1972 when Harris devised this path, called 'sea links', by extracting over two million cubic meters of sand from the sea. This process has allowed to obtain an optimal soil drainage in order to ensure the game even in the wetter and rainy seasons.
“I will draw 18 holes near the beach and I will recall the style of the classic Scottish links, the tracks built near the sea that have made the history of golf. I will build a path that will marry the best technique to a wonderful landscape. Behold, Scotland with Mediterranean climate" he declared.
And so he did, creating a perfect fusion between the classic British courses and the breathtaking scenery of the Venetian lagoon, where today live several species of wild animals, including fallow deers, hares and pheasants. Here the sea breeze accompanies every swing wrapping the athletes with the typical scents of the beach, giving that extra touch of difficulty to a match and making the challenge even more interesting.
