Great to play the Ryder cup course and try and emulate the European team. Much more open than other courses and when we played the rough was not as punishing as we heard it had been earlier in the season. We played on a Monday so probably the quietest day. Note food service stops at 3:00 p.m. Everyone enjoyed this course - fewer hazards but long and narrow fairways.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club is located just 30 minutes northeast of Rome and boasts a glorious championship standard golf course. The headline layout at the club is the Ryder Cup Course and in 2023 it became only the 3rd course on continental Europe to host arguably golf's biggest tournament; the Ryder Cup.
The fact that it hosted the Ryder Cup is testament to how good the course is and proves it really is a gem in Italy’s golfing crown. Throughout the round golfers are treated to unrivalled views of the stunning natural landscape with the course being one of the most aesthetically pleasing in the region with beautiful lakes and the Marco Simone Castle being the backdrop to some of the holes.
Marco Simone Golf Club has a superb 19th hole where guests are treated to panoramic views and is the perfect setting for a couple of post round beers.
