Golf holidays in Italy: Cultured clubsFor golf holidays, Italy pretty much has it all: epic scenery, fabulous climate, superb food (and wine) and stunning golf courses. Plus the fact that very few golfers choose to take their golf holiday in Italy, means that midweek you may well find you have the pick of the Italian golf courses to yourself! The rolling hills of Italy, richly fertile and bathed in sunshine, coupled with its wealth of artistic and historic (not to mention culinary) heritage have made Italy a world renowned tourist destination. Add some beautifully designed golf courses to the scenery and you have yourself the perfect golf holiday destination. You will find golf courses throughout Italy, some mature Golf Clubs around the major cities,: Rome, Milan, Turin etc. And newer courses designed in the nineties by the likes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player et al, that are now blossoming under the golden Italian sun. So far therse have only been discovered by the more intrepid golfer. No doubt the secret will one day get out, so we say now is the time to make the most of the empty Italian golf courses and enjoy some millionaires' golf - midweek in particular. 
After your golf, all the sights, sounds and smells of Italy are around to tantalise your senses. Most Italian Golf Clubs you will find a swimming pool, so bring your cossie. If not the Adriatic or a lake is never far away for taking a dip. The small Italian villages with their shady narrow streets are fascinating for strolling, sipping a cappuccino, enjoying a gelato, or browsing boutiques crammed with the latest Italian fashions. They all have weekly markets too, although these are normally in the mornings. |
Getting to ItalyNowadays getting to Italy has never been easier with more and more flights (both “lo-cost” and major carriers) - to all the major cities from departure points all across Great Britain, Ireland and the rest of Europe. 
Driving in ItalyThe one thing that may discourage some golfers from visiting Italy is the roads, or to be more precise the Italian drivers, the roads themselves are fine! It cannot be denied, driving in Italy is a bit of an experience! However, as long as you just take your time and let the tail-hogging Fangios and Fittapaldis past you will enjoy the scenic drives from course to course. The other option is to let us organise a chauffeured car or mini-coach for your golf tour. Often this is not much more expensive than hiring a car. This way you can sit back, relax, enjoy the scenery and a glass of birra or vino or two after your round. Roads wind through clusters of tightly knit stone houses and cypress studded hillsides bathed in a crystal light and speckled with olives and vines - a seamless stream of scenery to enjoy.  |
