Bogogno Golf Resort (Del Conte Course): Bogogno is home to two 18-hole championship courses, both designed by the renowned American architect Robert von Hagge. Golf writers are torn on which is the "better" of the two, the Bonora or the Del Conte.
The Del Conte course is more open, flatter and less water-defended than the Bonora. Although inland (versus beside the sea), it has more in common with an open "Scottish" links layout, rather than a classic Italian parkland course.
Plenty of earth-mounding has been deployed to create dune-like definition to many fairways, with significant bunkering also playing its part. As on most links layouts, close-cut grass around the greens provides plenty of chip-and-run possibilities as you close in on the hole.
Like the Bonora course, the Del Conte lays down an excellent test of golf. Its wider fairways and fewer water hazards will encourage a greater sense of "freedom" from the tee than on its sister course. The Del Conte layout is a firm favourite with many of the club's members. Our preference, by a whisker, is the Bonora course, which arguably demands more of the golfer and takes you on a more expansive tour of the "estate".
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed on Mondays from December thru' Feb.
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap required

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 four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
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.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf.

Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
