In the heart of Rimini’s countryside, Riviera Golf Resort has been well known from the very beginning, when, in 2002, it attracted media attention thanks to a futuristic design project: the clubhouse, the outstanding 82-m²-large outdoor swimming pool made of Noto stone, the spa area and the hotel, offering 32 suites designed by 14 different architects, were completed with a pleasant 9 holes golf course. 8 years later the course was extended along the Conca river: 18 holes designed by the Canadian architect Graham Cooke, further enhanced by 9 pitch & putt holes for the beginners. Cooke wanted to reinvent the concept of links courses and conform it to the current context, alternating wide holes with more challenging ones, gentle mounds and large fairways, in order to make it a fun and engaging round both for the amateurs and for the pros. The experience in this club is enhanced by the range of facilities of the resort, with the huge pool, perfect for relaxing in the sun or for an invigorating swim after the game, but also for the poolside dining experience, the treatments at the spa and the gym, with super-modern equipment. And, just literally round the corner, there are the beaches and the nightlife of Cattolica. Technical Details Course: 18 holes, Par 72, 6412 meters Architect: Graham Cooke Topography: flat, sometimes hilly with water hazards Distinctive features: strategy is crucial to obtain a good score. Golfers which have a good putting technique will have an edge.
