GardaGolf Academy

GardaGolf Academy has always been a benchmark for the development and training of golf talents—a place where passion for the game meets technical excellence, shaping players who have made, and continue to make, a lasting impact on the sport’s history.

Under the guidance of the renowned Franco Maestroni, a highly experienced Head Pro, the Academy has trained athletes of international caliber, bringing no fewer than four players to the DP World Tour, including Matteo Manassero—one of the most successful Italian golfers of all time, with five titles on Europe’s premier golf circuit.

The fairways of GardaGolf have also seen the rise of other great talents such as Massimo Florioli, Nino Bertasio, and Andrea Maestroni—names that have contributed to writing the story of Italian golf on the international stage.

A unique achievement sets us apart: GardaGolf is the only Italian club to have had two of its players compete in the Olympic Games. At the historic Rio 2016 edition, which marked golf’s return to the Olympics, Nino Bertasio and Matteo Manassero represented Italy, strengthening the bond between GardaGolf and the global golfing elite.

At GardaGolf Academy, the future of golf takes shape, driven by a constant commitment to nurturing and developing the champions of tomorrow.
