Some sports seem made to be enjoyed in the open air. Golf is one of them: it encourages you to slow down, walk, focus on every movement and rediscover your sense of balance. In Northern Sardinia, this feeling becomes even more intense, especially when the course is surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and the views stretch towards the island of Caprera and the Costa Smeralda.

At Hotel Capo d’Orso Thalasso & SPA, golf blends naturally into the rhythm of your holiday, combining greenery, sea views, concentration and time for yourself. You do not need to be an experienced player to enjoy it: you can take to the course to practise, improve your short game, try the sport for the first time or simply enjoy a pleasant moment outdoors.

This 5-star boutique hotel is set within an extensive natural park, surrounded by wild olive trees, granite rocks and the fragrances of Mediterranean vegetation, just a few steps from Cala Capra bay. In this setting, golf finds its natural home, becoming an experience to enjoy at a leisurely pace between a day at the beach, a treatment at the Thalasso & SPA centre and a romantic dinner on a wooden platform suspended over the sea.

Within the hotel grounds is a 9-hole Pitch & Putt course covering more than 750 square metres, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and overlooking one of the most captivating landscapes in Northern Sardinia. The course offers spectacular views of the island of Caprera and the Costa Smeralda, with elevated greens and undulating fairways carefully designed to recreate the greens of some of the world’s most prestigious golf courses.

It is an attractive option both for guests who wish to continue practising while on holiday and for those who would like to try something new with the support of a golf instructor. It is also ideal for more experienced players looking to work on their accuracy, control and short game. The experience is enhanced by a bunker area and driving range, as well as a virtual golf simulator that allows players to experience some of the world’s most exclusive courses. Thanks to the impact screen, each golfer can use the clubs from their own bag and enjoy a realistic session suitable for different playing levels.

A morning round, a few shots in the afternoon or a session before sunset: at Hotel Capo d’Orso, golf is not simply a sporting interlude, but a different way to experience Sardinia through wellbeing, nature and time rediscovered.
