Donnafugata Golf Resort & Spa: RESORT & GOLF COURSES CLOSED IN 2020. The Links and Parkland courses at Donnafugata were championship layouts that ranked with some of the best in southern Italy and Sicily. Unknown if and when the courses will be restored and reopen.
[Original Where2Golf description]: The Links course is certainly open and relatively treeless, although many of the other trappings of a seaside links (rolling dunes, pot bunkers, proximity to the sea, etc) are somewhat notable by their absence. Open parkland, with a resort style feel, might be a more apt description. Certainly a good test for your all-round game, the course previously hosted the European Tour's Sicilian Open in 2011.
Course closed in 2020. Check with club, if and when it reopens.
Soft spikes only. Walking permitted. Golf carts available for hire.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
