Golf in Italy at a glance

Golf holidays in Italy are about more than the golf. You can play the 2023 Ryder Cup course outside Rome, stay and play beside Lake Garda, or tee off in the foothills of the Alps, and then spend your evenings on great food and wine. The courses are quieter than the big resorts in Spain and Portugal, and flights are only around 2 hours.

We put the whole trip together: hotel and tee times in one booking, with small deposits and each golfer paying their own share.

Planning a group golf trip to Italy

We've organised group golf trips for over 24 years. Here's how an Italy trip works with us:

  • Small deposits secure your tee times and rooms early, which matters in spring and autumn.
  • Individual payments mean each golfer pays their own balance. No chasing your mates for money.
  • One booking covers your hotel and tee times, and we can add transfers.
  • Flights are booked separately. We'll tell you which airport to use for your region.
  • Golf societies are welcome. See our GroupiaGolf Society page.

When is the best time to play golf in Italy?

Getting to Italy

  • Lake Garda: fly to Verona, around 2 hours from London.
  • Milan and Turin: fly to Milan or Turin, around 2 hours.
  • Rome: fly to Rome, around 2.5 hours.
  • Umbria: fly to Perugia, or to Rome and drive about 2.5 hours.
  • Sardinia: fly to Cagliari, around 2.5 hours.
  • Sicily: fly to Palermo or Catania, around 3 hours.

Flight times are approximate from London. Check your airline's golf bag allowance when you book.

Beyond the golf

Lake Garda's towns are perfect for an evening by the water, with boat trips between them. In Rome, you can see the Colosseum and the Vatican between rounds. Milan has shopping and nightlife, Turin has its cafés and the Alps on the horizon, Umbria is all about hilltop towns and long lunches, Sardinia has some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean, and Sicily has Palermo, Taormina and Mount Etna.

Italy golf holiday FAQs

For most groups it's Lake Garda: championship courses close together, lakeside towns and short flights to Verona. Rome is the pick for a bucket-list round at Marco Simone, the 2023 Ryder Cup venue. Milan and Turin are great for short, good-value breaks, Umbria suits a slower food-and-wine trip, and Sardinia and Sicily add island golf by the sea.

Our Italy golf packages start from £215pp for 2 nights and a round at Le Betulle Golf Hotel near Turin. 3-night breaks with 2 rounds cost from around £295pp to £400pp in Milan, Lake Garda, Umbria and Rome, and a week at Lake Garda with 5 rounds is from £875pp. Flights are booked separately.

Turin and Milan offer the best value: Le Betulle near Turin is from £215pp and Castelconturbia near Milan from £295pp. Travelling in spring or autumn rather than peak summer also helps.

Yes. Italy has fewer courses than Spain or Portugal, but the ones we use are excellent, and the food, wine and scenery make it a trip to remember. Flights are short, and most courses are quieter than the big Spanish and Portuguese resorts.

Yes. Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, just outside Rome, hosted the 2023 Ryder Cup and is open to visitors. Our Rome packages include rounds there. See our Rome golf holidays.

April to June and September to October: warm, with courses in great condition. July and August are hot, especially in Rome and Umbria, so tee off early. Northern Italy is cool and some courses close in winter, so the islands are the better bet then.

Around 2 hours from London to Milan, Turin or Verona, about 2.5 hours to Rome or Cagliari in Sardinia, and around 3 hours to Sicily. There are direct flights from most UK airports.

No. Our prices cover your hotel and golf, and we can add transfers. Book flights separately and we'll take care of everything once you land.

Most Italian clubs ask for proof of handicap, and some set a maximum. Bring your certificate or have your handicap app ready. We'll tell you the rules for each course when we build your trip.

Yes, societies are what we do best. We hold tee times and rooms on a small deposit, and each golfer pays their own balance. See our GroupiaGolf Society page or send us your group's details.

Choose Spain for the biggest choice of courses, year-round sun and lower prices. Choose Italy for something different: quieter courses, great food and wine, and a city or lake to explore. See our Spain golf holidays to compare.

Tell us your dates, group size and budget, and we'll build an Italy golf break around you. The best tee times go early for spring and autumn, so it pays to get in touch soon.
