Adriatico Golf Club

The club describes its course as an 18-hole par 71 of about 5,400 metres in the mid-hill area next to the Pescara river valley, with a view stretching from the Apennines to the Abruzzo riviera. The fairways are not very wide and undulating and several lakes are placed at strategic points: for this reason, the website explains, it is best to approach each hole thinking about the final result and not the single shot. The eighteen holes, the club assures us, are all different from one another.

The course has four par 3s (the 3rd, 8th, 13th and 18th), three par 5s (the 7th, 9th and 14th) and eleven par 4s. The holes named as the most difficult are the 5th, a par 4, and the 12th, a 314-metre par 4 with a lake between fairway and green, according to an article in Notizie Golf; the same source gives the 5th as 360 metres with hazards on the left side.

The website does not state the architect's name or the year of opening, so they are not reported here. Alongside the championship course is the Torre Valeria course, a 9-hole executive, which follows the same days and hours as the main course.

The club is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 8:30 am to 7 pm, and is closed on Monday. On competition days opening is brought forward by half an hour before the start of the tournament. The telephone number for information and bookings is 0871 446000.

The pages devoted to green fees and rates publish only images with the 2025 price list, with no readable text: for the price of a day's play in 2026 you therefore need to ask the secretary's office. Required handicap, dress code and opening months are not stated on the website.

It is a pet-friendly club, with a dedicated page.

The practice area has a floodlit driving range, which lets you hit balls even at the end of the day. The clubhouse is the centre of social life; according to an article in Notizie Golf the complex also offers a swimming pool with a Turkish bath, sauna and whirlpool, rental of carts, trolleys and bags, a pro shop and a restaurant bar.

The golf school offers individual and group lessons for all levels and courses for children aged 8 and over. The Youth Club is aimed at young people aged 8 to 15: a teacher introduces them to the game, the rules and the first notions of the swing, in an atmosphere designed for socialising and having fun.
