Golf courses2
In Sicily golf is possible all year: mild winters, lovely springs and autumns, and summers cooled by sea breezes on the coast. Around every corner there is something to discover, from Taormina and Syracuse to the Baroque towns of the south-east.
On the east coast, Il Picciolo plays through old lava flows on the slopes of Etna and I Monasteri lies near Syracuse. Verdura Resort has three courses along the sea.
