Golf holidays - Lake Garda

Lake Garda, the easternmost of the Italian Lakes is yet another great place to play golf on holiday in Italy.  With four good golf courses nearby, several more within a reasonable drive, lively towns around the lake and plenty of flights to Verona, Lake Garda is well worth considering for your next golf holiday in the Italian Lakes.

For lakeside living, head for Desenzano del Garda, a small but lively holiday town on the southern edge of Lake Garda.  It is perfectly placed for getting to the golf courses and has enough restaurants and bars to keep you entertained for a week's (or more) golf holiday on the Italian Lakes.

For a more peaceful and romantic golf holiday on Lake Garda, the fortified (and car free) town of Sirmione that sits on a narrow spit of land jutting out into Lake Garda is a charming spot.  However, be aware that in peak tourist season (July, August and may Bank Holidays) it can be troublesome getting in and out of Sirmione along the single carriage causeway.

For utter luxury, peace and quiet, consider the slightly remote Palazzo Arzaga.  The Palazzo is an ancient converted convent in the hills above Lake Garda that has been transformed into a luxury hotel and spa - a golf retreat in many respects.

Getting to Lake Garda

Very easy to get to with surprisingly many flights to Verona with British Airways amongst others. 

You may find more convenient regional departures to Milan Linate airport, from where it's only an hour's drive across to Desenzano del Garda.

Ryanair fly to Orio al Serio (they call it Bergamo).  In fact it's probably quicker to drive to Lake Garda than into the old town of Bergamo as the airport is right on the Autostrada between Milan and Lake Como!  In any event it should take less than an hour and you could stop en-route at (Franciacorta Golf Club for instance) to get your Italian Lakes golf holiday underway even sooner.
