Golf Holidays in Rome & Lazio
The ‘Eternal City’ is not often connected with golf, rather it is more famous for its world-renowned sights and attractions, including the Vatican, where you can visit St Peter’s square and cathedral, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and many more.
Monumental examples of ancient Roman architecture lie at the heart of what is now a thriving and stylish metropolis, and with not a skyscraper in site, Rome is still attached to the ultimate traditions that were at the heart of its foundations nearly 3 millennia ago.
The heart of Rome is surprisingly small, and you can take in all these sights in on foot. With golf resorts and courses that are all within a short drive of the city centre and the international airport, it is no surprise that Rome is emerging as a quality golf holiday destination.
Rome's amazing attractions are well known to most, but the superb golf resorts at its fringes may not be. This is all set to change when Italian Open host Marco Simone Golf Club hosts the Ryder Cup in 2023.
Golfing enthusiasts, in increasing numbers, are already heading to the Robert Trent Jones designed Castelgandolfo Golf Resort, the 27-hole top quality complex at Sheraton Golf Parco De’ Medici Hotel & Resort and the highly rated Olgiata Golf Club.
