Golf Trips to Italy
A golf trip to Italy blends sport, culture, and scenery in a way few places can. Picture teeing off beside vineyards, olive groves, lakes, and ancient ruins. Italy offers remarkable variety, from championship courses in Tuscany and along Lake Como to seaside links in Sicily and Sardinia, plus alpine fairways beneath the Dolomites.
Courses like Verdura Resort, Castelconturbia, and Marco Simone Golf Club (the 2023 Ryder Cup host) highlight Italy’s growing status as a world-class golf destination. Beyond the fairways, Italy delivers exquisite cuisine, fine wines, iconic art, medieval towns, and a relaxed pace that invites you to savor every moment. Whether you’re exploring Renaissance treasures, enjoying a long lunch in a sunlit piazza, or watching an Amalfi Coast sunset, Italy offers golf wrapped in true “la dolce vita.”
