Marco Simone entered the geography of contemporary European golf definitively through the Ryder Cup, yet its importance goes beyond the event itself. Only a short distance from Rome, the course delivers modern, televisual, athletic golf built to generate strategic tension and dramatic sightlines. The distant view toward St Peter's dome adds an almost symbolic layer that few courses in the world can claim. The layout is demanding and highly visual, with substantial greens, assertive bunkering and a rhythm that rewards players able to think clearly under pressure. For elite travelers, Marco Simone is an unavoidable stop if they want to experience the new icon of Italian golf. It does not offer the romance of older clubs or the quiet of an isolated resort. Instead, it offers energy, international recognition and the distinct sensation of playing in a place that has just written an important chapter in the recent history of the game.
Vai con aspettative da grande venue contemporanea, non da circolo classico romano: il suo linguaggio è internazionale, competitivo e molto attuale.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Villa Gregoriana — Gola d'Acqua
Just beyond tournament Rome, Tivoli offers a striking counterpoint: water-carved gorges, shaded paths and romantic vistas that feel worlds away from the city. It is a detour that softens championship golf tension without lowering the level of the day.
“Enter the park in late afternoon and take the walk slowly toward the great waterfall: as the sun drops, the moisture changes the colour of the rock and everything feels more theatrical than expected.”
Roma — Aperitivo in Palazzo
Rome's most elegant side is not always its most monumental. A noble salon near the historic centre, with few tables and old-world service, extends the precision of Marco Simone with a measured and deeply Roman urban gesture.
“Book before 7pm and ask for the most secluded table: in Rome, true privilege is not seeing everyone, but feeling the opposite.”
Sabina — Hammam di Pietra
Between the Roman countryside and the first Sabine hills, a small wellness retreat works with steam, warm stone and understated treatments. After a round at Marco Simone, it is the right choice for recovery without adding noise to the day.
“Take the latest slot available: the transition between heat and the cooler evening air is what makes the treatment truly memorable.”
