A park that becomes a golf course, that's what makes our 9-hole course unique, surrounded by the Euganean Hills, where the absolute quiet is the soundtrack of every game. A natural oasis of wellness and relaxation in the heart of Veneto. Located in the most beautiful and suggestive area of the Euganean Hills, in one of the most important spa sites in Europe, a few km from Abano, Montegrotto, Padua and Venice. The Golf Terme di Galzignano is an integral part of the Radisson Blu Spa & Golf Resort Padova, where you will be welcomed in its wonderful natural park of 350,000 square meters and in the absolute elegance of its 3 4-star hotels, SPA, Wellness Center, indoor and outdoor thermal pools, clay tennis courts. An ideal destination for a wellness, sport and relaxation holiday, for business meetings and events in an excellent setting and to discover the cultural treasures of the nearby cities of art among the most beautiful in Italy, such as Venice, Ferrara, Padua, Vicenza, Verona, the medieval village of Arquà Petrarca with the house of the great poet Francesco Petrarca and the nearby walled medieval towns of Este and Montagnana.

The 27 holes of the Montecchia Golf Club wind beneath the 16th century castle belonging to Counts Emo Capodilista, in a course which is peppered with water hazards and which will not allow for distractions. The project bears the signature of English architect Tom Macauley in total compliance with the Anglo-Saxon school, giving proper importance to issues regarding the environment and the landscape. The gentle undulations of the holes fit in perfectly with the context of the typical lowlands interrupted by the ridges of the nearby Euganean Hills. The three courses, White, Red, and Yellow, feature many bodies of water and several tracts of uncultivated land with the aim of preserving nature. Hole 6 on the White course, a par 4 of 392 meters, offers the greatest difficulties due to the presence of a lake whose shoreline skirts the fairway along its left side, narrowing to where a bunker on the right and, worse yet, the out-of-bounds loom. Water accompanies the player on many other holes, at times timidly, at others more intrusively as with Hole 2 on the Red course, a par 3 of 172 meters where you must fly over the lake to reach the split-level green. Stopping by the clubhouse is an unavoidable pleasure. Created from the old rooms used for drying tobacco and the granary, it houses two excellent restaurants – ABC on the ground floor, the more informal of the two, and the Montecchia on the first floor, run by Erminio Alajmo, who boasts a Michelin star, and which are valid reasons enough to visit the club. Technical details Course: 18+9 holes, Par 72/36, 6078/3011 meters Architect: Tom Macauley Topography: flat and open, quite recent vegetation. Distinctive features: The course has not come to maturity yet, and the young trees reveal it. The difficulties of the course can be overpassed by those who control very well the drives. Pro’s comments A level course with large and welcoming greens that are always maintained excellently. Both professionals (stops on the European Challenge Tour have been played here several times) and players with high handicaps will be greatly satisfied with the Golf Club della Montecchia. All players regardless must pay great attention to Holes 11 and 17 on the championship course: two Par 3s with frontal water and well defended greens. Play them cautiously; a tiny error will cost you dearly.
