How long should a golf vacation last?

The ideal length of a golf vacation depends on your goals. If you want to learn the basics or focus on improving specific aspects of your game, three to four days of intensive training are often sufficient. For lasting technical improvement and to solidify new movement patterns, we recommend five to seven days.

Anyone who wants to earn their golf license or significantly improve their handicap will particularly benefit from a one-week golf vacation. This allows plenty of time for personalized training, playing on the course, video analysis, and putting what they’ve learned into practice both mentally and physically.

At LTK Golf, every golf vacation is tailored to your goals, your skill level, and your schedule. Whether you’re planning a short golf getaway or an intensive week of training on Lake Garda, you’ll receive personalized coaching that will help you make real progress in your golf game during your vacation.

Can I come by myself?

Yes, of course. Many of our guests travel alone and enjoy the personal atmosphere of a golf vacation with individualized instruction. One-on-one coaching allows us to tailor the training entirely to your goals, your skill level, and your learning pace.

If you'd like, we can also organize practice sessions or group rounds of golf with other participants of similar skill levels. This way, you'll quickly get to know new people and can enjoy your golf vacation in pleasant company—with no obligations.

Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, with friends, or with family—at LTK Golf, we'll tailor your golf vacation on Lake Garda to suit your needs perfectly.

Which hotels would you recommend for my golf vacation on Lake Garda?

I'd be happy to recommend accommodations that perfectly suit your preferences and your golf vacation. Thanks to my many years of experience on Lake Garda, I know the region, the golf courses, and many hotels personally.

My personal hidden gem is Borghetto sul Mincio, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. With its historic water mills, romantic alleyways, and excellent restaurants, Borghetto offers a unique atmosphere—just a few minutes away from several world-class golf courses.

Here, I especially recommend the Relais Borghetto —a stylish boutique hotel with exclusive suites and an exceptional atmosphere—as well as the Corte Regia Relais & Spa, which combines modern comforts, a spacious wellness area, and a breathtaking view of the Mincio River. Both hotels are ideal for golfers who want to combine relaxation, indulgence, and Italian charm.

For golfers who want to stay right on a golf course, the Garda Hotel San Vigilio is the top choice. The hotel is located directly on one of Italy’s most beautiful golf courses and offers easy access to the practice facilities, excellent dining, and ideal conditions for a relaxing golf vacation.

If you're looking for peace and quiet, luxury, and wellness, you'll love the Cape of Senses. This exclusive adults-only hotel boasts an exceptional spa area, spectacular views of Lake Garda, and an incomparably relaxing atmosphere.

The Ca' Barbini Resort in Garda combines modern design with warm hospitality. Its peaceful location, beautiful pool, and proximity to several golf courses make it an excellent choice for an active golf vacation.

On the western shore of Lake Garda, I recommend the Hotel Villa Florida. The elegant suites, the breathtaking lake view, and the peaceful setting create the perfect conditions for a relaxing stay filled with golf, nature, and the Italian way of life.

I’d be happy to advise you personally and recommend the accommodations that best suit your training goals, your budget, and your vacation preferences. That way, your golf vacation on Lake Garda will be an unforgettable experience in every way.

Can I participate without my own golf clubs?

Yes, of course. You don't need to bring your own golf clubs for your golf vacation. High-quality rental clubs are available for practice and—depending on the course—also for playing on the course.

Beginners and visitors who want to try golf for the first time, in particular, will benefit from getting to know different club models right away. This will help you avoid making the wrong purchase and allow you to make an informed decision later on about which golf clubs are the best fit for you and your swing.

If you already own your own clubs, we’d be happy to analyze them together and check whether they’re optimally suited to your height, swing, and skill level. If needed, I can provide you with independent advice on selecting or customizing your set of clubs.

This way, you can fully relax and enjoy your golf vacation on Lake Garda—without having to worry about transporting your golf equipment.

Which handicap classes do you coach?

I coach golfers of all skill levels—from absolute beginners with no prior experience to ambitious players with single-digit handicaps and professionals.

Whether you want to earn your golf license, improve your handicap, play more consistently, or prepare specifically for tournaments—the training is tailored to your personal goals, your abilities, and your learning style.

Through the holistic LTK Golf approach—which combines logic, technique, and physical conditioning —we work not only on your golf swing but also on mental strength, the quality of your movements, and a better understanding of the game. This leads to lasting improvements that are consistently evident on the golf course.

Whether you’re holding a golf club for the first time or are already an experienced golfer—I’ll meet you right where you are today and guide you along the most effective path to your next athletic goal.

Can I earn my golf license during my golf vacation?

Yes, of course. During your golf vacation on Lake Garda, you can earn your official golf license and lay the foundation for your golf career.

As the only PGA Golf Professional with permanent residence on Lake Garda who is also a member of the Swiss PGA, the PGA of Germany, and the PGA Italiana, I am authorized to officially administer and issue course eligibility certificates. This is a major advantage, especially for golfers from Switzerland, since the course eligibility certificates I issue also meet the requirements of the Swiss PGA.

The course for obtaining a golf license is designed for beginners with no prior experience and teaches you all the essential basics—from technique and the short game to the rules of golf, etiquette, and playing on the course. Thanks to individualized coaching, you’ll learn at your own pace and benefit from personalized guidance throughout the entire course.

Depending on the time you have available, you can earn your golf license during an intensive golf vacation or over several days of training. Upon successful completion, you will receive your official golf license and will be able to play independently at most golf courses worldwide.

I'd be happy to tailor your golf license course to the length of your vacation and your personal goals—so that you not only have an unforgettable vacation, but also return home with an officially recognized golf license.

Can I book a hotel and a golf course together?

Yes. I'd be happy to help you plan your entire golf vacation on Lake Garda. Together, we'll find the accommodations that best suit your preferences, budget, and training goals.

Thanks to my many years of experience and my regional network, I can recommend select hotels—ranging from luxurious spa hotels to charming boutique hotels and accommodations right on the golf course. I will then put together your personalized training plan so that your hotel stay, golf lessons, and, if desired, rounds of golf are perfectly coordinated.

You’ll have a single point of contact for your golf vacation and, upon request, will receive recommendations for restaurants, places to visit, and the most beautiful golf courses around Lake Garda. This way, you can relax and enjoy your vacation, focusing entirely on what matters most: relaxation, enjoyment, and improving your golf game.

I have been living and working as a PGA Golf Professional on Lake Garda for over 18 years. In addition, I regularly accompany my guests to the Côte d’Azur and Marrakech. Thanks to my many years of experience, I know not only the most beautiful golf courses and hotels, but also the special places, restaurants, and attractions that will make your golf vacation an unforgettable experience.
