In less than a month, spring will officially begin, and the desire for outdoor sports grows: our Euganean Hills are a true paradise for golfers.
Golf is not just a sport but a true wellness experience for both body and mind. Its practice, combining outdoor movement and mental focus, offers benefits that make it ideal for all ages and seasons. And when golf is paired with thermalism, as it happens at AbanoRitz, the regenerating effect is even greater.
Golf is a low-impact sport that enhances cardiovascular endurance and promotes muscle well-being through long walks on the course. Studies show that golfers walk an average of 10 km during a round, burning up to 1,500 calories. Additionally, contact with nature reduces stress and stimulates endorphin production, boosting mood and improving concentration.
The Euganean Hills, with their unique hilly landscape and lush green golf courses, are a prime destination for golf enthusiasts. The area boasts three excellent courses: Golf Club della Montecchia, Golf Club Padova, and Golf Club Frassanelle.
There are over 66 million golfers worldwide, and golf has transitioned from an exclusive sport to an increasingly accessible and widespread activity. Golf tourism reflects this transformation by focusing on inclusivity, tailored offerings, and a holistic approach to well-being that integrates golf with other experiences.
Fifty-five percent of traveling golfers choose Europe as their primary destination, with Spain, Portugal, and Italy ranking among the top choices. Over the years, golf tourism has evolved from an elite activity to a sport that is accessible and popular across different demographics. According to the National Golf Foundation, 36% of new golfers belong to Generation Z or Millennials, and the number of female golfers is rising significantly.
The thermal protocols at AbanoRitz are perfect for physical recovery and enhancing sports performance. Thanks to mature mud therapy and thermal pools with saline-bromine-iodine water, muscle inflammation is reduced, joint tension is relieved, and circulation is stimulated.
