Hotel Golf Resort Castelgandolfo - Rome - Italy
The golf course at the Castelgandolfo Resort benefits from a spectacular setting, situated in the area of a now inactive volcano. The course itself was designed by the esteemed American golf architect, Robert Trent Jones, and is a fantastic par-72 layout measuring 6,826 yards.
Carved through lovely woodland groves and around huge expanses of water, there are plenty of hazards and fantastic natural beauty. The resort-style creation is playable for golfers of all abilities, and as one of the best courses in the Lazio region, comes highly recommended for a golf holiday around Rome.
On the exciting course of the same name, the Castelgandolfo suites perch on the crater's lip overlooking the golfing panorama below.

At the foot of the rock of Castel Gandolfo, where the hill gradually slopes down towards the plain and the coast of Anzio and Nettuno, there was a singular extension of cultivated ground. Practically a jewel case of market gardens and orchards gathered in the area of an ancient volcanic crater in which a lake formed.
It was drained in the imperial age; the hydraulic engineers of ancient Rome created a network of trench ducts, still in use today, taking the water to the area from the lake of Castel Gandolfo. They thus obtained the twofold result of replacing a marshy and unhealthy area with a fertile expanse.
The golf course originated here; the eighteen holes were designed respecting the hollow of the crater and inserting fairways in the setting of rich vegetation where century old Mediterranean olives and pines are interspersed with vines, cypresses, mimosas, citrus fruits and rose-gardens. Castelgandolfo is known for being the Pope's summer residence.
