San Domenico Golf

Italy, Rome
5 (1)
Course Opened: 2003

San Domenico Golf is located where the Puglian countryside meets the azure of the Adriatic sea, perfectly nested between the slopes of the Itria valley and the touristic port of Savelletri.

Characterized by a combination of strategically positioned bunkers and intricate mistral-oriented design, this prestigious links course designed by the European Golf Design in London winds through gentle slopes, zigzagging among centenary olive trees and glimpses of the ancient city of Egnathia. This is why it is not surprising that it has established itself as one of the best golf clubs in Italy.

The paradise of a golfer has 18 holes and is green. If you add to this an idyllic view of the sea from each hole then, the game play experience will be even more fulfilling. Designed by architect Andy Haggar according to the highest USGA standards, the San Domenico Golf is a magnificent Mediterranean course that measures over 6300 meters with a par of 72 and runs along the stunning rocky shores of the Adriatic coast. Its strategic proximity to the sea further increases the challenge thanks to the presence of winds that, depending on the hole, play as allies or opponents in the game.

The course is perfectly integrated in the natural Puglian context: enriched with olive trees of rare beauty and dotted with the colors and scents of the typical Mediterranean Maquis such as thyme, rosemary and sage. Also the choice of the grass is very accurate: the bermuda for the fairways, the fescue for the roughs, while the greens are made with the classic pencross variety. A fast surface combined with not easy to tame slopes and strategic bunkers will offer all players the perfect terrain for the ultimate golf challenge.
