Sicily, Italy – Verdura Resort has unveiled a new clubhouse strategically located between its two championship golf courses, the West Shore and East Links. This sophisticated addition aims to elevate Verdura Resort’s reputation as one of Europe’s premier luxury golf destinations.
The design of the clubhouse, curated by architects Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, artfully merges classic architectural elements with modern functionality. It draws inspiration from traditional golf clubhouses and incorporates design features that celebrate the history of the sport.
Within its interiors, the clubhouse is adorned with vintage golf posters, curated memorabilia, ball-shaped furnishings, and rich wood paneling, providing a nostalgic yet comfortable atmosphere. The ambience is further complemented by deep green hues, plush leather seating, and intricate mosaic flooring.
At the heart of the clubhouse is the club lounge and bar, which is positioned adjacent to the 18th hole of the West Shore course. This lounge opens to a panoramic terrace, furnished with comfortable sofas and lounge seating, offering a perfect setting for post-round drinks with sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea. Inside, a large screen displays major international tournaments and sporting events, creating a vibrant social hub. The bar features a curated collection of fine wines, premium spirits, and local craft beers.
The clubhouse also houses a premium golf shop stocked with high-quality apparel, equipment, and accessories from renowned brands, ensuring that guests have access to everything they need for their golfing experience. Additionally, the venue is set to host an array of social events, ranging from casual gatherings to formal competition prize-giving ceremonies.
Sir Rocco Forte, founder of the resort, has expressed pride in this latest enhancement, noting that the clubhouse plays a crucial role in fostering connections among guests. This new facility is part of a series of upgrades made to Verdura Resort over the past year, which includes significant improvements to the golf courses themselves.
The golf courses have experienced a comprehensive upgrade, including the installation of a new sustainable irrigation system aimed at promoting environmental conservation. Furthermore, Verdura’s golf academy has expanded, now equipped with cutting-edge swing analysis and club-fitting technologies, all part of a multi-million-euro investment in the resort’s golf facilities.
Dedicated to preserving the natural landscape and heritage of its location, Verdura Resort has garnered recognition from the Italian Golf Federation for its commitment to maintaining landscape integrity and biodiversity.
