Castelgandolfo Golf Club

Only 40 minutes by car from Rome and 15 minutes from Ciampino airport, the golf park of Country Club Castelgandolfo presents itself in a fascinating and beautiful natural area. The name of the club grounds is derived from the nearby resort of the popes: Castelgandolfo. The green is situated in an extinct volcano crater in Latium’s unique landscape. The golf course, which opened in 1988, was designed by the renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones. He constructed a challenging 18-hole par 72 course. The course blends in perfectly with its natural surroundings and boasts a beautiful old tree stock. The highlight is the clubhouse, cardinal Flavio Chigi’s historic villa that can be admired from many a new perspective from the different holes.
