Golf Club Cansiglio

The history of the Golf Club Cansiglio begins in 1955 when, some pioneers from Vittorio Veneto and surroundings, convinced by the enthusiasm of Dr. Ottavio Croze ( a real author of the growth of the game of golf in the Veneto region), managed to obtain from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry the granting of an area approximately 40 acres on the plateau of Cansiglio; area which presented morphological characteristics very similar to the Scottish links.The original 9-hole course was designed by the architect John Harris, and the association was originally called “Golf Club Vittorio Veneto”. With the old resources , but also with a lot of effort and passion, the promoters were able to achieve the 9-hole course in just over two years. In 1958 the Golf Club was affiliated to the Italian Golf Federation (the 2nd oldest golf club of the Veneto region).Captured by the beauty of the place and the game many new members started to join the club, especially in the 70s. Many were also the outside guests from various parts of Italy, that appreciated the technical characteristics of the course, the family management of the Club and the peace of the plateau.Because ot the growing number of members and visitors, in the 90s, the course was expanded to 18 holes, designed by the architect Marco Croze.
