The Golf Course
18 holes – Par 72
6062 meters men CR 73 – SR 136
5257 meters women CR 73.7 – SR 129
The course, following major technical improvements in recent years, has become a championship course that has regularly hosted a leg of the European Senior Tour since 2016. The 18 holes are flowing, fun and at the same time technically challenging. Protected by century-old oaks, the gentle shadows of the salvation cherry trees and alders, the course follows the curves of the hills offering players splendid views.
All the holes on the course require the player’s concentration because none is breathing room. The greens are on the whole well defended by treacherous bunckers.
The course is currently a Par 72. Technically challenging, it covers a length of 7000 meters, respecting the morphology of the moraine hills where it is located.
Within the golf course there are 3 life courses of different lengths: the 1.3-km green course, the 2.5-km blue course, and the 5.4-km red course. Access to the courses is free for Udine Golf Club Members and guests of Villaverde facilities.
The Holes
Select a hole to find out the features
Hole No. 1
The hole runs slightly downhill (an approximately 21 metre drop off). The green, protected by two hazards and rather tall trees, slopes slightly and inconsistently to the right.
| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 482 | 428 | 5 | 15 |
Hole No. 2
A par 4 gradually rising. A tree in the middle of the fairway makes the approach to the green quite difficult. The green itself is very large, protected by two bunkers, one to the front on the right and the other behind to the left. A delicate approach is needed to the green.
| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 376 | 315 | 4 | 3 |
Hole No. 3
A par 3 with quite a noticeable downhill run. The ball won’t roll to the green though if the shot is slightly short. Difficulty: two bunkers protect the green, the red poles behind and to the right of it. The green, almost completely flat and with the hole in the middle, rewards decisive shots.
| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 188 | 165 | 3 | 13 |
Hole No. 4
A long, flat par 4 with a bunker on the landing of the first shot. The green is protected both right and left by bunkers.

| 390 | 347 | 4 | 2 |
Hole No. 5
There is a wood to the left of the fairway and a hazard on the right to the drive landing. The green rises and is protected by bunkers.
| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 345 | 315 | 4 | 11 |

| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 460 | 380 | 5 | 18 |

| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 346 | 250 | 4 | 6 |
Hole No. 10
Quite a wide fairway which runs slightly downhill.
There’s a partial dog-leg to the left on the first shot, out on the left and a long row of tall, thick trees to the right. The large, visible green is protected by a water hazard to the front which crosses the fairway and a bunker on the left.
| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 354 | 308 | 4 | 12 |
Hole No. 11
The narrow passage between the tee and the fairway with a frontal water hazard creates difficulties, more than anything else, at the psychological level. The green is protected by a bunker on both sides, slightly raised from the fairway but without significant slopes.
| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 182 | 160 | 3 | 10 |
Hole No. 12

| MEN | WOMEN | PAR | HCP |
| 425 | 362 | 5 | 16 |

Slight dog-leg to the right. A huge oak in the middle of the fairway impedes the shot to the green. The green is raised and defended by two bunkers.
