Verdura Resort’s award-winning golf courses have been shown in a glorious new light by a new set of images taken by renowned English photographer and videographer James Hogg.
Hogg, a specialist in drone photography, spent three days on site capturing the resort’s acclaimed Kyle Phillips-designed East and West layouts from a range of new angles, including an array of breathtaking shots taken from high above the Mediterranean.

The recent changes have seen a number of new features added and modifications made to the routing of both courses. The reordering of hole numbers has allowed for the restoration of former favourite holes and brings exciting new additions, while the planting of fescue grasses throughout the courses added definition to the golfing experience.
The soul of a destination – that special something all travellers yearn to glimpse – is really the soul of its people. It is timeless humanity refracted by a place’s unique qualities, by its bounty and scarcity, its landscape and climate.
Florence becomes the most compelling creative retreat when you fall in step with the city’s pace. In Milan you might ‘get your hustle on’ and Rome leans into a meandering walk or Vespa ride, this city, the birthplace of the Renaissance, draws us more towards strolling.
Some holidays are designed to be action packed. Others are the opposite. Not for idleness, nor just for sleep necessarily, but the simple, underrated experience of a mind with nothing to chase.
