Olgiata Golf Club is one of Rome's standout rounds, with a serious championship story behind it. Opened in 1962, it has hosted a strong mix of amateur and professional events, and its honours board features Tony Jacklin, Dame Laura Davies, Edoardo Molinari and Ian Poulter. You can feel that pedigree from the first tee. This is a course built to test good golfers without spoiling the day for everyone else.
Part of Olgiata's appeal is how easily it pairs with the city. You are around 12 miles from Central Rome, so it slots neatly into a long weekend or a wider Italian golfing adventure. Play 18 in the morning, then spend the afternoon exploring the Colosseum and the Forum without losing hours to travel. Italy's profile in world golf has never been higher, and a round at a course with this much history gives you a proper taste of it.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a top-quality round with real championship pedigree as part of a Rome city break or a wider Italian golf tour. It suits groups, couples and societies who want serious golf without giving up time in the capital.
Who is it best for?
Keen golfers who enjoy a strategic test on a renovated layout, and anyone looking to combine great golf with the culture, food and history of Rome.
