You know that Rome offers an almost inexhaustible fund of sights for art and culture travelers! The city on the Tiber, founded on seven hills by Romulus and Remus, is always worth a visit. The Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican, Castel Sant'Angelo, the Spanish Steps and numerous churches and museums make up the charm of the Italian capital. Few people know that you can see and feel history up close when you tee off just outside the city gates. On the 18-hole course Circolo del Golf Roma Acquasanta you play amongst ruins dating back Roman times. Star architect Robert Trent Jones took great pleasure when designing the Country Club Castelgandolfo golf course incorporating olive, oak and pine trees, which dominate the landscape of many of the great golf courses around Rome.
A golf trip through Umbria, the Marches and Abruzzo.
Umbria begins south of Tuscany. This region is known to many travelers mainly for its picturesque capital, Florence, dating back to the Etruscan period. The university city of Perugia and Lake Trasimeno are Umbria's well known landmarks. The quiet inland in neighboring Marche, away from the port city of Ancona and the lively Adriatic coast, with its natural parks and unspoiled landscapes is very enchanting. Here you can visit the largest cave in Europe, the Grotti di Frassasi. These regions are perfect for relaxing in a pleasant climate, eating well and working on your handicap in a relaxed manner.
Golf in Rome: something more than vino, Roman pizza and spaghetti carbonara!
When you land in Rome at Fiumicino airport, several of Italy's most prestigious golf courses await your tee shot right behind the Lido di Ostia. Perhaps you would first like to fortify yourself with typical culinary delicacies of the region? A Roman pizza, saltimbocca alla Romana or chicory ripassata, the wild meadow vegetable with garlic and pepperoncini, are a small selection of simple but tasty delicacies that you should definitely try in an authentic trattoria. Whether your next golf trip to Rome is an exclusive weekend with competitive challenges or rather a varied pleasure trip with shopping, sightseeing and regular rounds of golf over beautiful courses, the choice is up to you!
