Golfing Amidst Italy's Unique Charms

You might wonder, what does golf have to do with Italy's splendid offerings? Allow us to intertwine these delights for you! When we began promoting Italy as a golf destination, we faced fierce competition from more established golfing havens like the British Islands, Spain, and Portugal. It was akin to a boutique competing with a supermarket. However, we found a brilliant solution - presenting Italy as a boutique golf destination where players can indulge in the finest experiences under one roof, or rather, one country!

Instead of following the traditional golfing day in Scotland, we crafted an itinerary that celebrates the Italian way of life. Picture this - waking up at 7 am to a delightful breakfast, teeing off later in the morning, relishing a sumptuous lunch or a refreshing beer at the 19th hole, and then exploring Italy's captivating towns and landscapes. As the sun sets, savor an aperitif outside a charming bar, and finally, enjoy a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. We believe this offers a unique and enriching golf experience.

Italian Golf: Exclusivity and Abundance

Italy's golf scene is often associated with exclusivity and luxury, but that is not entirely true. While skiing might incur higher costs, the notion of private clubs perpetuates the belief that golf is a sport reserved for the affluent. Nevertheless, we're here to break barriers and make golf accessible to all.

Notably, the majority of golf courses are concentrated in the affluent Northern regions of Italy, such as Piedmont, the picturesque Lakes District (encompassing Lake Maggiore, Lake Lugano, Lake Como, and Lake Garda), Lombardy, and Veneto.

Italy boasts an impressive count of 170 golf courses, making it a golfer's haven. Regions like Tuscany, Umbria, Emilia Romagna, and even the capital city Rome have noteworthy golf offerings, making it possible to play a different course every day.
