Best Golf Courses in Italy
5 ranked courses in Italy
Italy has five courses in this guide, spread over four regions: four parkland and one coastal. Royal Park I Roveri at Fiano in Piedmont ranks highest. It is a 36-hole club whose Allianz course is Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s 1971 forest parkland design, semi-private, with visitors playing alongside members and their guests and booking through the club. Circolo Golf Villa d'Este at Montorfano in Lombardy is Peter Gannon's 1926 par-69 course through chestnut, birch and pine woods. It is listed as private, yet visitors can book green fees on weekdays and weekends, and the course is closed on Tuesdays. Olgiata Golf Club in Rome, Lazio, was designed by Charles Kenneth Cotton and opened in 1961 and remodeled by Jim Fazio in 1996; non-members pay a green fee with advance booking. Golf Club Biella at Magnano in Piedmont is a semi-private par-73 course by John Morrison with Donald Harradine, among birches, chestnuts and oaks, with tee times through its reservations office. Verdura Resort at Sciacca in Sicily is the one resort: Kyle Phillips's par-73 East Course, a links-style layout on wind-exposed coastal ground, open to the public and resort guests.
