The golf course of Verdura Golf Club is located in the town of Sciacca, province of Agrigento, in the Italian region of Sicily. The Golf Club Verdura consists of 2 x 18 hole golf courses and a 9 hole short course and is a links golf course.
The three exceptional Golf courses by the sea of the Verdura Resort offer both beginners and experienced golfers a playing challenge.
The two 18-hole golf courses, The East and The West Golf Courses, challenge players of all handicaps and feature five tee positions on each hole. A par 3, 9 hole golf course is aimed at golf beginners.
Verdura Resort offers a golf experience like no other. The links-style golf courses, designed by Kyle Phillips, take advantage of the natural green contours of the landscape and are lined with orange and olive groves. Warmed by the Mediterranean sun and refreshed by the sea breeze, the courses are free of any development and offer an unobstructed view of the azure waters from the undulating greens.
Guests will experience the philosophy of Rocco Forte Hotels in all areas of Verdura, from stylish accommodations to world-class spa facilities and elegant restaurants and bars. Other attractions include tennis courts and water sports facilities, special children’s and youth clubs and guaranteed excellent service.
Home of the European Tour’s Rocco Forte Sicilian Open, Verdura offers golf on a grand scale, with the personal service and attention to detail more usually associated with a private club. The courses are designed to challenge golfers of all skill levels and offer golf conditions of the highest standard with their spectacular playing surfaces.

The East Course
Par 73 – 6763 meters / 7396 yards
Verdura’s East Course has been renovated and restored under the expert supervision of the original golf course architect, Kyle Phillips, and offers many memorable moments during the round.
Highlights later in the round include the sixth hole, which requires a carefully placed tee shot to avoid water on the left and right sides, while a fairway bunker lurks on the right. Once this is safely overcome, the undulating green is guarded by two bunkers and even more water on the front – all with the beach and lapping waves just a few steps away on the back side of the green.

The West Course
Par 70 – 6547 meters / 7160 yards
The West Course doesn’t start gently, but with three long par-four holes before the first of five par-three holes tests your accuracy.
Challenging greens will test your putting skills at every turn
While the front nine winds up through the property, the back nine leads down to the Mediterranean and offers some with exceptional ocean views.
A dramatic end to the round awaits with the outstanding closing holes, all along the spectacular coastline.
