This guide has been created out of passion for the game of golf as well as the
love for Italy. Unlike Scotland, the country that gave birth to this wonderful
game, Italy has only been involved with golf for some hundred years. This year,
the elegant Roman Golf Club of L'"Acquasanta", founded in 1903, celebrates its
100th Anniversary.
Golf Course Le Querce, Sutri
With 286 golf courses and around 67,000 members, it goes well beyond membership
numbers that average 234 per club. Compared with Germany this number is actually
quite low: numbers there are 428,000 golfers and 644 golf courses, that is,
644 members per club. Spain, as for it, has 800 golfers playing on 272
domestic courses.

However, in the view of this relatively low golf population, Italy makes it possible
for a green fee-payer to enjoy a quiet game in a lush environment. This is one of the
main reasons why Italy should be at the top of your destination list
when thinking of a golf holiday.
Although Spain and Portugal were among the first countries to turn golf into a great
tourist attraction, and hence build many a course along their coastlines, here, in
Italy, golf clubs have become more like meeting places for local residents.
Still: what makes a golf holiday in Italy so enchanting?
The possibility to enjoy both the game and the glorious landscape, mountains and
lakes in the North, the Tuscany, Lazio and Sicily Regions in the South.
Further, together with a cultural and historical heritage that goes back more than
2,000 years, you will discover fabulous modern Art and taste an unequalled Italian
and Mediterranean cuisine.
Last but not least, Italy is a great opportunity to make new friends and participate
in attractive sponsored tournaments.
This golf guide on-line includes an extensive number of photographs and explanations
and seeks to provide you with a genuine impression of what Italian Golf Clubs are
all about. We hope that it will help you decide on the perfect place for a great
game of golf as well as a relaxing holiday.
Let yourself be taken to the wonderful world of carefully maintained fairways and greens!
