The 18 old Harris holes and the 9 new Croze holes were divided into three loops, of which the Giallo and Blu combination is the classic stretch. The course is located next to Villa Barbarigo with its famous park and the styling reflects that very well. There is a minimum of fuss about the golf course, every man-made feature serves a clear purpose and it is left to nature to provide the visuals.
Some of the holes are unusually flashy though, either due to later changes or perhaps a few of the newer holes were mixed into the old loop. In any case, some of the water features are almost shoved down the golfer's throat, whereas on others he will simply hear a splash and that's that. The effect is that the lakes on the more modern looking holes appear much more threatening and thus will see more conservative play than some of the innocuous looking old style ponds. However, there is no denying that the stonewalled lakes also provide some welcome drama in an otherwise rather restrained routing.
Despite the somewhat odd mixture of styles, the course works very well in golfing terms. It is fun to negotiate, not overly long or exceedingly difficult, but a nice challenge in a beautiful parkland setting. There is very little rough, so errant drivers should find their balls between the trees and in some cases even get a clear shot.
