There are a host of reasons to make the short flight to Italy for this Ryder Cup, the first of which must be the tournament itself. A truly iconic week in the bi-annual sporting calendar, it is one that captures the gaze of sports fans across the globe.
An opportunity to watch the world’s greatest golfers in arguably the most exciting format the sport has to offer, the Ryder Cup is a genuine chance to witness history, as it will be just the third time that the tournament has been held in continental Europe.

For UK-based golfers, visiting Marco Simone in September 2023 is a brilliant opportunity to support Team Europe in their quest to reclaim the famous trophy. The close proximity to one of the world’s most beautiful cities in Rome makes for the trip of a lifetime filled with culture and sporting excellence.
Marco Simone itself is a former host of the Italian Open and was originally designed by esteemed course architect Jim Fazio in the 1980s. It has recently been redesigned and rerouted for the 2023 Ryder Cup, by Tom Fazio II, Jim’s son. It is a challenging course, that will still offer plenty of excitement during tournament week, and there are unparalleled views across eye-catching lakes and the Marco Simone Castle.

Additionally, golfers can visit the Robert Trent Jones-designed Golf Club Castelgandolfo. Equally as impressive as other offerings, with plenty of bunkers, mini lakes, artificial obstacles, and other traps such as age-old olive and oak trees, Castelgandolfo provides a top-class golfing experience.
