Gardagolf Country Club

What Gardagolf Country Club does

Gardagolf Country Club (legal name: GARDAGOLF COUNTRY CLUB A.S.D. senza fini di lucro) is a non-profit amateur sports association founded in 1986 on the Brescian shore of Lake Garda in Soiano del Lago, Lombardy, Italy. It operates a 27-hole championship golf facility spanning 110 hectares, comprising three 9-hole courses — White (Bianco), Red (Rosso), and Yellow (Giallo) — designed by Cotton, Pennick, Steel & Partners (British) in collaboration with Golf & Gardens (Italian), set within the historic park of Villa Omodeo. The club has hosted three editions of the Italian Open (1997, 2003, 2018), including the 75th edition as a Rolex Series event, and is GEO-certified for sustainability. It is affiliated with the Italian Golf Federation (FIG), PGA Italia, and the DP World Tour.

The business operates as an integrated golf resort with multiple revenue streams: green fees (€90–€140 per 18-hole round depending on season), tiered annual memberships (€900–€6,200), Stay & Play packages with partner hotels, food and beverage through the Bucadiciannove restaurant (capacity up to 250 guests), pro shop retail, and the 7-room Maison GardaGolf boutique hotel. The GardaGolf Academy, led by Head Pro Franco Maestroni since 1986, has produced four DP World Tour professionals including Matteo Manassero and Olympic golfer Nino Bertasio. Distribution is multi-channel: a multilingual website (Italian, English, German), social media presence, the Air Dolomiti Golf Partners airline program, and hotel partnerships ranging from 5-star Lefay Resort & Spa to 3-star CH City Hotel.

The club is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Orlando Tradati, with General Manager Francisco Moreno overseeing operations. It is highly asset-dependent but is structured as a non-profit A.S.D. with no external investors, no parent company, and limited direct headcount (5 employees), relying on a broader operational and partner ecosystem to deliver the integrated experience.
