Italy Golf Resort

Italy

Italy is not really well known for its golf resorts yet, compared to other Mediterranean countries, yet it has been developing well over the last 5 years and we will be watching carefully for the best golf resorts, as they become available and once we have time to check them out.

The climate has to be ideal because we are seeking to offer each of our destinations as year round holiday venues, we have started with the furthest south we could have considered, the south coast of Sicily, featuring the remarkable Verdura Golf & Spa Resort.

Tuscany is a region of outstanding beauty, landscape with vineyards, rolling hills, verdant scenery known for its fine culture, wines, mountains and coastline.

Tuscany includes famous cites such as Pisa, Luuca, Sienna and Florence, but medieval hill-top villages such as Montalcino and Pienza are a must see also.

Elegant Golf have a found a hidden gem in Castiglion del Bosco, Situated in the heart of Tuscany’s Brunello winemaking region.

"The Drago Golf Club property is very dramatic with beautiful, expansive views. It has wonderful stands of mature trees and will provide some of the most exciting, challenging and memorable golf holes in the world. The intent of my design is to create a high degree of enjoyment and satisfaction for Members and their guests regardless of their skill levels." - Tom Weiskopf

A favourite for the discerning British tourist but less well known for its golf courses, until now!

Sicily is Italy in miniature and has the most beautiful unspoilt scenery you could imagine or wish for, its location allows us to recommend it as a pure winter destination as well as a summer destination. The Rocco Forte Collection’s new masterpiece sets new standard in resort golf properties on the Mediterranean with 36 holes designed by Kyle Phillips who was responsible for the Grove near London and Kingsbarns near St Andrews. Prepare to be amazed.

Flights to Sicily are available with British Airways and Easyjet, and the Verdura Resort is about 1 hour’s transfer away.
