Asolo, Italy ![]()
|
|
Forty miles north-west of Venice lies the picturesque walled city of Asolo which is located at the foothills of the Alps. Over the past three years the Benetton family have been gradually acquiring land, and after gaining planning permission in January 1995, construction commenced in March on the European Golf Design 18 hole 6700 yard par 72 golf course. |
The design brief was for a high quality golf course with an emphasis on ensuring the course is playable for all level of golfers, especially the youth of Italy to whom the Benetton family are generous benefactors. The many streams that flow through the site have been incorporated into the design of the course while the creation of three lakes will catch stray shots. The vines that cover the hills overlooking the golf course will be cultivated to produce the golf clubs own branded wine. |
