Golf Courses

Guests benefit from two distinctly different 18-hole courses, offering variety and challenge across every stay.

Parkland Course Designer: Gary Player | Par: 72 | Opened: 2010

A classic inland championship course set among olive trees and natural stone walls. Generous fairways and large greens make it playable for all levels, while strategic bunkering and elevation changes reward thoughtful course management. It provides an enjoyable, traditional parkland test in a distinctly Sicilian setting.

Links Course Designer: Franco Piras | Par: 71 | Opened: 2010

A rare inland links-style layout featuring open fairways, rolling terrain, and exposed conditions influenced by coastal winds. Firm playing surfaces and bold bunkering demand creativity and shot-making, offering a refreshing contrast to the Parkland Course and a unique golf experience in Sicily.

Accommodation

The resort features stylish rooms and suites inspired by traditional Sicilian architecture, arranged around landscaped courtyards and gardens. Interiors are warm and elegant, with many rooms offering views of the golf courses or the surrounding countryside.

Rooms include air-conditioning, a flat screen TV, minibar, complimentary Wi-Fi and spacious bathrooms, ensuring comfort after a day on the fairways.
