Enjoy golf the Italian way
Known for its fine wines, arguably the best food in the world, vineyards and outstanding natural scenery, it’s not just the championship golf courses in Italy that draw golfers here every year.
A golf holiday in Italy means luxury and relaxation. You’ll find the golfing experience is of equal quality to its Mediterranean neighbours, with significantly quieter fairways.
The best part is that most of the golf courses are set in picturesque locations across the country. Sicily is home to the Verdura Golf and Spa Resort, set along the stunning Mediterranean coastline.
The II Picciolo Etna Golf Resort & Spa is dramatically located at the foot of Mount Etna, providing a golfing experience you'll never forget. Don’t forget the glamorous island of Sardinia where you can stay and play at the five-star Mira Hotel - Resort Is Arenas.
If you’re deciding where to go, Northern Italy is a great choice in the summer months while Southern Italy benefits from the year-round sun. Central Italy is a hotbed for great golf.
Lake Como and Lake Garda are great locations for a golf tour. They offer genuinely breathtaking settings, great gastronomy and are surrounded by some of Europe’s best golf courses, including Villa d’Este, Castelconturbia, Arzaga and Gardagolf. For a luxury resort break, try La Bagnaia in the Tuscan countryside or the five-star Verdura Resort on the island of Sicily.

Shopping, art, historical ruins & more
With it arguably being home to the world's finest food and wines, stunning cities and fantastic culture, it’s no surprise our golfers fall in love with this incredible destination. Its impact on western culture can be seen all over the country in the beautiful artwork, ancient ruins and impressive palaces. The country boasts an endless array of off-course activities for you to enjoy.
Discover vibrant cities such as Rome, Milan, Florence and Venice during your golf break. As the fashion capital, Milan is ideal for shopaholics, while Rome is ideal for foodies and history buffs. Test your taste buds on traditional Italian wine and pasta or take a trip to the Colosseum.
As well as cities, you can also enjoy the less crowded coastal areas where you can wind down on the sandy beaches and go for a swim. Outdoor lovers should take to the waters of Lake Como or consider going for a hike to the top of Mount Vesuvius. Some of Italy’s top attractions include Pompeii, The Valley of Temples, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and The Vatican in Rome.
