Roma (Acquasanta)
Architect: Cpt. A. Flach.
18 holes: 5,835m: par 71.
A very private Member’s club with a wonderful
atmosphere both on the course and in the excellent Clubhouse. Set
amongst rolling hills and tall pines, although quite hilly in many
areas it often feels almost links-like, as you play through the
bumps and hollows and back and forth over the ever present brook.
Visitor’s times limited at this very exclusive Club.

| Fioranello
Architect: D. Mezzacane
18 holes: 5,359m: par 70.
A peaceful course set amidst rolling farmland
where only the odd goat bell might disturb your concentration. The
course descends from the clubhouse to the reasonably level front
9; the slopes increase over the back 9 towards the two “Pannetone”
(Sugar loaves) – two very elevated greens, approaches to which
will severely test your club selection. |

Castelgandolfo
Architect: R. Trent-Jones Snr.
18 holes: 5,855m: par 72.
A visually stunning combination of a unique setting
and an exceptional course. This Trent Jones’ masterpiece is
cradled in the bowl of an extinct volcano, with the clubhouse (a
17th Century Bishop’s residence) perched on the rim of the
caldera above. Amazing. |
| Eucalyptus
Architects: U. Grappasonni & M.
Guerrini.
18 holes: 6,105m: par 72.
Rustic simplicity is the charm of the Eucalyptus
Club. Not as closely manicured as some maybe, the course gently
unwinds into the gentle contours of the landscape. A very friendly
club where you might like to start your week amongst the eucalyptus
groves and prickly pears, before taking on some of the tougher latin
challenges.

Parco dei Medici
Architect: D. Mezzacane.
18 holes: 5,908m: par 71.
An American style layout with water in play on
about half the holes! There is also a slightly shorter 9-hole course.
Very easily accessible just of the GRA and convenient for anyone
flying to/from Leonardo da Vinci airport.
|
| Marco Simone
Architect: D. Mezzacane & T. Fazio.
18 holes: 6,037m: par 70.
On a broad expanse of fairly open terrain to
the East of Rome, the course extends over rolling pasture. Designed with tournament play in mind, Marco Simone has already
hosted the Italian Open.
If you have played any of the
Fazio courses in the States you will recognise the style.
The complex also has a hotel and a short “Executive”
18 hole course: ideal for a post-lunch round.
