Our selected golf courses: Rome - Castelgandolfo


Roma Golf Club  

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 Golf Club  

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 Golf Club  

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.
