Marco Simone Golf & Country Club
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club
Marco Simone is Italy's most significant golf course — a parkland design by Jim and Tom Fazio near Rome that was selected to host the 2023 Ryder Cup, bringing continental Europe's greatest golf event to Italy for the first time. The course was substantially redesigned by Tom Fazio II for the tournament, producing a championship layout of genuine quality and drama.
The ancient castle of Marco Simone sits at the course's heart — a medieval tower that provided the backdrop for European celebrations after the continent's dramatic victory. The course's rolling parkland terrain, strategic bunkering, and redesigned green complexes now rank among the finest in Mediterranean Europe.
