Antognolla Golf reinforced its position as one of Italy’s standout luxury golf destinations by securing the accolade of Best Golf Club in Italy for a second straight year at the 2026 Golfers’ Choice Awards, organised by Leading Courses.
In addition to retaining the Best Golf Club title, the venue has been named Italy’s Best Golf Course three times at the World Golf Awards and has regularly dominated golfer‑voted rankings for maintenance, facilities and overall experience, underlining its consistency at the highest level.
Unlike single‑category awards, the Best Golf Club distinction reflects the complete club experience, taking into account every touchpoint along the golfer journey, from the quality of the clubhouse and facilities to food and beverage, service standards and on‑course experience.
Further underlining the resort’s excellence, Italy’s leading golf and wellness retreat was also awarded Best Hospitality in Italy, underlining the central role that overall guest experience played in its success.
Determined exclusively by verified golfer reviews, the Golfers’ Choice Awards recognises the resorts that deliver the highest-quality experiences according to the players themselves, with no judging panels or external influence.
Designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., Antognolla’s championship course is celebrated for its strategic layout and seamless integration into the surrounding landscape, complemented by a clubhouse and hospitality experience which resonate strongly with visiting golfers from Italy and overseas.
Rashid Alabbar, President of Antognolla Golf, said: “To be named Best Golf Club in Italy, based entirely on the opinions of those who visit us, is an incredible honour for everyone at Antognolla.
“These awards reflect the passion, care and attention to detail shown by our entire team every day, across the course, the clubhouse, the restaurant and our guest services. We are incredibly proud that golfers value not just the course itself, but the complete experience we strive to deliver.”
Antognolla Golf was also rated in the top three for the categories, Best Maintenance in Italy, Best Facilities in Italy, Best Value for Money in Italy, Best Surroundings in Italy, and Best Course in Italy.
The 2026 Golfers’ Choice Awards further reinforce Antognolla Golf’s growing international profile and its status as one of Europe’s most compelling golf destinations for players seeking outstanding quality, authentic hospitality, and exceptional value.
