Venice Lido Golf Club, an unexpected sports venue on the Golden Island of Venice

Nestled between the calm waters of the lagoon and the lush greenery surrounding the island, the Venice Lido Golf Club is a hidden gem. Less known than the iconic monuments of Venice, this historic golf course is a true point of reference for sports enthusiasts and for those seeking a more exclusive, refined, and nature-connected way to experience the city.

A Century-Old History Between Sea and Pine Forest
Founded in 1928, the Lido Golf Club is one of the oldest golf courses in Italy. It stretches across a unique landscape between the lagoon and the Adriatic Sea, immersed in a natural setting of maritime pines, sandy dunes, and breathtaking views. Designed in the style of traditional British links courses, the 18-hole course is harmoniously integrated into its natural surroundings.
It’s this perfect blend of sport and scenery that makes it so special: playing here means moving at nature’s pace, breathing in the salty air, and discovering a different, greener, and quieter Venice.

An Exclusive Sporting Experience
Open to players of all levels, the course offers every comfort: a clubhouse, equipment rental, pro shop, and professional instructors for private lessons. Ideal for those who want to stay active during their stay, or for anyone curious to explore a surprising, wellness-oriented side of the Lido.
Golfers know that every hole tells a different story — and here at the Lido, each shot is enhanced by a stunning view and a sea breeze, creating a truly sensory experience beyond just technique.

Golf for Two: Relaxation and Connection
The Venice Lido Golf Club is also a perfect setting for couples. Whether you’re both avid players or simply want to try something new together, this course strikes the right balance between challenge and relaxation. After a morning on the green, enjoy a sun-kissed aperitif, a stroll among the trees, or a light lunch overlooking the course.
And if golf isn’t your thing, the club still offers a peaceful atmosphere for accompanying guests — the perfect spot to read under the shade or simply soak in the beauty of the natural surroundings.

Just Minutes from Russo Palace Hotel
The Golf Club is located in the southern part of the island, about 10 minutes by car from the Russo Palace Hotel. Upon request, we’re happy to arrange private transfers, tee time bookings, equipment rental, or personalized lessons with club professionals.
Staying at the Russo Palace Hotel — overlooking the lagoon and surrounded by the green of the Lido — means enjoying the best of both worlds: the relaxing quiet of the island and the chance to live unforgettable sporting experiences, such as a day on one of the most scenic courses in the Mediterranean.
