Golf Club Castello Tolcinasco: In addition to 27 excellent golf holes (and a nine-hole Executive course), you will also find a wonderfully restored 4-tower castle and impressive "courtyard community" of weekend homes here at Tolcinasco.
The golf course itself is large, open and essentially flat, with a reasonable amount of tree planting yet to fully mature - but plenty of thickish grass to provide clinging rough off the fairways. Blue, Yellow and Red nines make up the 27-holes - the first two seemingly the closest in look and feel, although the Red-nine is not too dissimilar, but perhaps the lesser of the three ... by a whisker.
The modern American styling incorporates bunkering and water to very good effect, putting a premium on good course management before you reach the superb greens. The outside world doesn't seem to intrude on this spacious golfing environment, although a large radio tower and the more picturesque distant Alps do make their presence felt.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required
Players generally walk this course. 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 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.
