Meloneras Golf: Two very contrasting loops of nine-holes characterise the championship course of Meloneras Golf. The easier-going, resort-style front-nine provides picturesque mountain views from its relatively open and undulating terrain.
There is always some elevation change to be reckoned with, especially on your approach shots to several elevated greens, while nicely sculpted earthmounding and a maturing line of palm trees clearly defines each hole and separates the good-width fairways.
Two of the three front-nine par-3's are very short, measuring less than 90 metres from the visitors' tees. However the par-3 3rd is a much tougher proposition, requiring a 150-metre carry over a small reservoir to a not overly large green.
The back-nine is what gives Meloneras its edge. The tricky dog-legging par-4 11th takes you seawards, before handing you onto the fabulous par-3 12th hole, which hangs out over the cliffs above a rocky foreshore. A challenging and picture perfect par-3.
The next four holes deliver exciting and wonderfully scenic clifftop golf, with the lighthouse and hotel towers of Meloneras looking resplendent to your east. To the west you'll see and then pass behind the village of Pasito Blanco with its marina full of luxury boats. These seaside holes can be exacting, especially from the back-tees with the wind blowing, but are more usually associated with great clifftop golf and fabulous ocean views.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

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.
