Played in late May of 2024. I'm from the US, and was on a business trip, and got the chance to play. The experience is awesome! They still have the locker rooms set up for the Ryder Cup, and much of the clubhouse, and signage is still from the Ryder Cup.

The course itself was in fantastic shape. I chose to walk it, as they said in the clubhouse most of the locals do that. I would suggest - if you're able - to walk it as well, really adds to the experience.

The front 9 is the easier walk, as it stays on relatively the same level. Making your way around the Castle of Marco Simone is awesome. The back 9 is a much more challenging walk. 10, 11, 12 are all straight up hill. But the pano view at the top of 12's tee is AWESOME!

The course was in great shape. Greens were firm and fast, rough was still pretty thick - but playable. The tall stuff is basically dead unless you get lucky and find a wispy spot.

A few things if you're a tourist trying to golf:

One, it's outside the city center, and was hard to find Uber drivers to make the trip there and back. Going there was a little easier, but finding one to pick me up to take me back to the city was much more difficult. The clubhouse will call a taxi for you if you want.

Second, the rental clubs were Callaway Mavericks, stiff shaft. They were fine, but just wanted to make sure people knew. If you walk, they will include a 'walking trolley' (push cart). Range is included in your reservation as well.

I've heard some people had issues booking online, but that was not my experience. I booked online and saved a little money as well, but it's still pricey (260 or so euros to play and rent clubs).

It was definitely worth the experience if you're willing to pay it!

Course in excellent condition, beautiful, and quite challenging (for me, anyway 😊).  Lack of service though very evident - no bag drop signs, facilities could be updated, restaurant closed (3.30pm) and most importantly no water provided - with no watering holes on the course!  Maybe we’re spoiled in the Costa del Sol, but don’t think water is a “luxury” in 35c heat!

What a special place this has been during the Ryder Cup. I look forward to play here myself. The course is very hilly, which makes it more difficult to get the distances right. Do take with you a lot of sun protection. There is almost no shadow anywhere.

Some friends and I went to Marco Simone Golf Course for the Ryder Cup in 2023! WOW! What a course and the venue was faultless! Course overall was hillier than you think. Would love to play the course myself! Highly recommend! Fairways & greens were immaculate!

Very nice golf course. 35 min from Rome city center by taxi. 1-9 holes more water. 10-18 holes quite hilly. Challenging greens. Fees are a bit overpriced (fairways currently painted in many places), I guess due to upcoming Ryder Cup. Food in the restaurant good. Service was very good everywhere. Nice golf shop. Good rental clubs for men and women. They had some tournament on a day we wanted to play again and they managed to find us time to play! 😊 Thank you!
