Overview

Originally designed by Jim Fazio and David Mezzacane and extensively redesigned ahead of the Ryder Cup, Marco Simone blends strategic challenge with Italian charm. The club has hosted multiple editions of the Italian Open and made history as the venue for the 2023 Ryder Cup, marking Italy’s first time hosting golf’s iconic team event.
