Even though golf in the south of Italy is not as popular as in the north of Italy, Sardinia, Sicily and Apulia offer you great golf courses and a magnificent landscape. The warm climate, culture and culinary offerings are different to that offered in the north. Everything is a bit more relaxed, casual and very friendly. You can play golf in Sicily and Sardinia almost all year round.
Golf on Sardinia is as diverse as the island paradise itself. The mini continent located south of Corsica belongs to Italy and the Sardinians are proud of their well-kept island, which is characterized by many different landscapes and by the ancient culture of the Nuraghe. The Sardinian cuisine and the Sardinian wine are enjoyed far beyond the island's borders. Huge dunes, long sandy bays, spectacular granite formations, cork oak forests and the turquoise sea of the impressive Costa Smeralda make up the unique magic of Sardinia. Celebrities also like to anchor their luxury yachts here and many hotels and golf clubs impress with their exclusive and well-kept character. If you book outside of the Italian holiday season, you can experience the quiet relaxed island charm along with pleasant temperatures in spring and late summer.
Discover Sicily while on a good value golf vacation!
Golf in Sicily means a good choice of golf courses playable all year round, suitable also for family vacations and for beginners. While playing on the varied 18- and 9-hole courses among prickly pears and extensive citrus plantations, you often have a fascinating view of Mount Etna! On Il Picciolo golf course, the undulating fairways and emerald greens stand out against the black of the lava hills. The largest Mediterranean island is a terrific break from everyday life for golfers interested in culture in spring and autumn. At this time of the year you can take a volcano hike, a city tour of Palermo, Syracuse and Catania and a visit to the bay of Taormina and the beach of Cefalú. Delicious fish, the typical cannoli and Sicilian wine can of course be enjoyed at any time of the year here!
Which is better: golf in Sicily or golf in Sardinia?
Southern Italy and the Italian islands are not suitable for fair-weather golfers! The easy going Mediterranean lifestyle, the pleasant climate and the wide selection of golf courses make the start of a new golf year unforgettable. Golf in Sicily or Apulia is a wonderful summer extension when our courses in the rest of central Europe are no longer playable. You can reach Olbia, Palermo or Catania from many German airports quickly and cheaply. At most golf courses you can rent clubs and caddies. Let yourself be inspired by the well thought out golf packages in the south of Italy or put together your own individual Mediterranean golf trip with plenty of art, culture and nature! We will be happy to advise you!
