Golf Courses

Golf Park Mallorca, Palma de Mallorca: Golf Park Mallorca is an 18 holes course on a beautiful 165 acre estate. The difficulty of the course is moderate, though it can reach high levels from the back tees. The course has been brilliantly designed to provide the player with the most natural island environmental experience possible. This, together with the absence of buildings along the course involves the player in an integral golf zone. Par 71, 6,027 meters. Approx Price: *$339.00 pp

PGA at Catalunya Golf Club, Barcelona : The PGA de Catalunya was voted one of the “Ten Best Courses” in Europe in 2001 by Golf World magazine where it was described as the ’jewel in the crown’. It was designed by Neil Coles and Angel Gallardo and since opening, has already hosted the Sarazen World Open and the Spanish Open. This course is not to be missed. Par 72, 7,160 Yards Approx Price: *$415.00 pp

La Grande Motte Golf Course, Sete: Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., this famous golf course meanders through the Camargue landscapes, flat layout made of many ponds, home of pink flamingos, ducks and black bulls. Trent Jones has cleverly shaped a high class course on this magnificent land, excellent for long-hitters but where short game will also play a key role. Par 72, 6700 yards. Approx Price: TBA

Sainte-Maxime Golf Club, St. Tropez: Sainte-Maxime golf course lies on an exceptional setting of wild underbrush and oak trees with panoramic views onSaint-Tropezbay. Course architect is Don Harradine. Par 71, 6,700 Yards. Approx Price: *$439.00 pp

Le Querce Golf Club, Civitavecchia: Le Querce was designed by George and Jim Fazio in collaboration with Davide Mezzacane and is a course expertly lined with oak-trees, which was opened in 1990 as a national golf centre for the Italian Golf Federation but also as a private club. The hosting of the world Cup here in 1991 highlighted the course’s many qualities, which the average players can handle as long they keep well away from the back tees. To finish, make a note of two stretches which can make or break your card: 4 through 6 and 13 through 15… two “Amen Corners” and a natural state of affairs being so close to the Holy City Par 72, 6,462 meters. *Approx Price: $499.00 pp

Le Fregate Golf Club, Marseilles: Set amid vineyard and olive groves with the Mediterranean Sea as its background, Fregate offers one of the most beautiful courses in all ofEurope. Designed by Ronald Fream, the 18-hole Championship course presents challenges for every level of play. For the avid golfer, there is also an FFG-certified, 9-hole, executive course, 2 putting greens and a driving range. This is a course with spectacular sea views and is maintained to very high standards. Par 72, 6,768 Yards. *Approx Price: $399.00 pp

Montecatini Golf Club, Livorno: Here is a natural course laid out beautifully among the splendid Tuscan hills without upsetting the surrounding countryside. Montecatini was built in 1985 and has 18 holes, each one different from the other, where the famous architect Marco Croze has perfectly succeeded in harmonizing natural obstacles (lakes, streams, woods and ditches) with the rolling nature of the ground, creating a unique and entertaining course. The maintenance of the Montecatini Golf Club has received in recent years has brought it to an excellent level, suiting the needs of even the most demanding golfers. Par 72, 5,932 meters. *Approx Price: $359.00 pp

Monte Carlo Golf Club, Monte Carlo: The Monte Carlo Golf Club enjoys a superb setting and a unique panoramic view of the Mediterranean as well as theSouthern Alps. From every tee the views here are truly amazing. In one direction you drive towards snow capped mountains and the other you’re aiming straight out to sea. This track is a fairly technical course and lies just outside Nice. It offers 18 Championship holes with a driving range and practice putting green. Par 71, 5,700 Meters. This is a walking course only. *Approx Price: $450.00 pp.

*Approx Prices in US$ subject to EURO exchange rates at time of booking. Golf courses subject to change.

About Silversea Cruises Ltd.

World’s Best Luxury Cruise Line.

In a global world of continually merging, multi-national conglomerates, Silversea Cruises is owned and operated by one family — the Lefebvres of Rome.

That means genuine pride in ownership and a true Italian passion for embracing the best of life. And that also means a deep commitment to maintaining the high standards of cruise excellence that have been the cornerstone of Silversea from the very beginning.

Silversea is recognized as the defining luxury cruise experience.

In the early 1990s, the Lefebvre family conceived and organized this unique, luxury cruise line, pledging to build and operate the highest quality ships in the ultra-luxury segment and to offer a product unlike any other. Silversea launched its first ship in 1994, thus creating a new niche for the ultra-luxury travel market with a class of smaller, purpose-built vessels that could slip into more exotic ports off the beaten path.

These elite and intimate ships are specifically designed for fewer guests, featuring more space and the highest levels of personalized service.

Accommodations are amongst the largest at sea; all have ocean views and butler service and most feature private verandas.

Dining is an exquisite affair with open-seating options so guests dine when, where and with whom they desire. But what is also unique is that although the ships are intimate, they incorporate amenities usually found only on larger ships, such as an elaborate show lounge featuring nightly entertainment, casino, and state-of-the-art spa and fitness facilities.

As an innovator in the ultra-luxury cruise segment with all-inclusive pricing and an unmatched onboard lifestyle, Silversea is the preferred luxury cruise line among modern affluent travelers from across the globe – providing for a convivial cosmopolitan ambience and yet another unique Silversea distinction.

Silversea caters to the cosmopolitan world traveler and maintains branch offices in theUnited States, United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore. The company’s headquarters are based in Monaco.
