Italy is home to more than 400 golf courses, with nearly 150 of those being championship courses. Is Italy the perfect golf break destination?
With 20 regions to choose from, it might be difficult to determine exactly which Italian region is best for you to visit. I’ve picked out three northern regions that should definitely be on your radar when you’re planning a golf trip to Italy.
The three regions in the north of Italy that jump out to me for a golf break are Lombardia, Veneto, and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
All three of these regions are littered with history, culture, arts, cuisine, and golf. What more could you ask for?
Italy promises incredible golf facilities, a wealth of tourist attractions, high-quality cuisine (and wine), and truly unforgettable golf holidays. Take a look at the three incredible regions below, and see what they have to offer.
From the banks of Lake Como to the rooftop of the Duomo di Milano, Lombardia is littered with history, culture, arts, cuisine, and golf.
With specific services dedicated to women, Lombardia is the perfect destination for avid female golfers wanting to play on high-quality and technically challenging golf courses with the opportunity to enjoy unique shopping and unwind experiences.
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to golf courses in Lombardia, with a total of 72 in the area. Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda are home to some of the best golf resorts and spas in the world. Thanks to the unique Mediterranean microclimate you're able to play in all 12 months of the year.
Veneto is known for its deep culinary and agricultural history, and as the fourth-most populated region in Italy, you can expect a warm and friendly welcome wherever you visit.
There are copious amounts of activities and excursions to embark on in Veneto, from sports to arts, culture, and entertainment for all female golfers to enjoy.
Whether you want to enjoy the opera at the Arena of Verona, cultural events or high-end fashion in the art cities, relaxing moments at the spas Abano Montegrotto, on the shores of Lake Garda or by the sea, Golf in Veneto promises the perfect break for your golf holiday.

Whether you've had a long day on the golf course or an insightful day touring the medieval cellar, spend the evening savouring the memorable sunset over the hills with a glass of incredible, local wine.
Book your next break to Friuli Venezia Giulia, this charming and enchanting region will tick every box.
