Dream Golf Break

If it is your first visit to Verdura Resort, or you just want to sample more of the island’s many delights, then we have the dream solution. Whether you’re a small or large group and are looking for ideas about ways to spend your time in Sicily, then look no further with our example three-day itinerary combining golf on Italy’s best courses with the finest Sicilian culture.  

Day one

• Brush off any rustiness with 18 holes on the Verdura Shore
• Irene Forte Spa in the afternoon – take the chance to relax with a treatment or massage at our award-winning luxury spa
• Dinner by the sea at Amare – what better way to finish the day than with a meal with fresh local fish from the nearby town of Sciacca

Day two

• 18 holes on the redesigned Verdura Links, recently named as Italy’s number one golf course by UK magazine Today’s Golfer
• Lunch at the Pool Bar – after a morning on the fairways, take the chance to relaxing with a dip in the pool followed by a light lunch. The club sandwich is highly recommended!
• Sicily is renowned for its wines. Take the chance to sample some of its finest with a trip to the Planeta Winery (Ulmo) with a vineyard tour
• A traditional Sicilian dinner in Liolà – with some of the island’s most famous dishes on the menu including arancini, authentic pizza from a wood-smoked oven and the legendary Pasta alla Norma, the only problem will be knowing what to order first

Day three

• Fine-tune your swing with a golf lesson at our state-of-the-art academy following by nine holes on our par-three Verdura Executive Course – also designed by Kyle Phillips, architect of our East and West courses
• Immerse yourself in Sicily’s ancient history with a visit to the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento or, if that seems too energetic, take another trip to the spa because it’s too good to only visit once  
• Sharpen up your racquet skills with a visit to the tennis academy or grab a resort bike for a relaxing ride around the estate
• Treat yourself to an unforgettable Mediterranean fine-dining experience by booking a table at Zagara
