Extraordinarily modeled in a corner of the Roman countryside around the millenary tower of the Castle of Marco Simone with the view of the Dome of St. Peter and a few km from the center of Rome.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club is the official venue of the 2023 Ryder Cup. For the first time in history, Italy will host the 44th edition of the third most significant sport event in the world after the Olympic Games and the World Cup.
Ryder Cup allows Italian golf to look ahead in time, enabling Marco Simone Golf & Country Club to become an innovative and advanced international reference point, rich in values and linked to sustainability.
Located on the outskirts of Rome, the layout of Marco Simone was rerouted not only to provide numerous risk and reward opportunities for the world's leading players, but also to maximise the natural rolling countryside terrain.
Spectators will have unrivalled vantage points of the on-course action as well as distant views of the famous Eternal City, including spectacular views of St Peter's Basilica and of the Castle of Marco Simone which together will provide the backdrop to golf's greatest team contest. The redesign of Marco Simone Golf and Country Club was led by European Golf Design in cooperation with Tom Fazio II
