Rio Mar Country Club (River course)

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1997

Rio Mar Country Club is home to two top-quality championship courses. The much admired George & Tom Fazio designed Ocean course opened for play in 1975. It was followed 22 years later by the also acclaimed River course, designed by Greg Norman.

The River course is a well-rated and always popular layout. This tree-lined and open parkland course should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. One to include on your play list if you are in the area. At this Stay&Play facility, you can rise from your bed in the morning and head straight for the first tee.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

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.
