Golf in Italy

Italy pairs golf with la dolce vita — and now with Ryder Cup pedigree: Marco Simone, just outside Rome, hosted the 2023 match, and the country blends fine courses with unbeatable food, wine and culture.

Spring (Apr–Jun) & autumn (Sep–Oct) ideal; hot summers, mild playable winters

Italy has never been a golf-first destination — but it's a wonderful golf-and-culture one, and it now has genuine tournament pedigree. Marco Simone, in the hills just outside Rome, hosted the 2023 Ryder Cup, and a round there slots neatly into a trip built around the Eternal City's food, wine and history.

We start with Marco Simone, Italy's Ryder Cup course, and will build out from there.
