Golf in Rome

When thinking of Rome, golf might not be your first thought. Everyone visiting Rome will go there to see the major highlights like The Vatican, the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum, Sistine Chapel, Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps (besides many others). But golf is on the rise in Rome and its surroundings. There are 12 golf clubs located within close proximity of Rome making it ideal for a golf break. Well-known Rome golf courses are Circolo del Golf di Roma Acquasanta, Olgiata Golf Club and Marco Simone Golf & Country Club which will host the Ryder Cup 2022.
