Olgiata, Rome, Italy
Olgiata Golf Club
One of Italy's most prestigious and historic private golf clubs — Olgiata Golf Club has been the home of Roman golf since 1961, a classic parkland course of great beauty and distinguished heritage.
About the Course
Olgiata Golf Club
Olgiata Golf Club was established in 1961 and is one of the most prestigious and historic private golf clubs in Italy. Designed by C.K. Cotton — a respected British golf architect of the mid-20th century — the course is set among the mature pine forests and rolling hills of the Olgiata estate, north of Rome, and has been the home of Roman golf for over 60 years.
The course plays to 6,450 yards from the championship tees and is characterised by the mature pine forest setting, the natural terrain undulations, and Cotton's masterful routing through the trees. The design rewards accuracy and course management, with the forest corridors creating a series of visually beautiful and strategically demanding holes that have tested the best Italian and international players for decades.
Olgiata Golf Club has hosted numerous Italian Open championships and is one of the most respected private clubs in Italy. Access for visiting golfers is subject to introduction and availability — and the experience of playing this historic course in the pine forests north of Rome is among the most distinctive in Italian golf.

Why It Stands Out
Italy's Historic Private Club
Olgiata Golf Club has been the home of Roman golf since 1961 — one of the oldest and most prestigious private clubs in Italy. Its long history, classic C.K. Cotton design, and distinguished membership make it one of the most respected golf clubs in the country.
Pine Forest Setting
The course is set among the mature pine forests of the Olgiata estate — a landscape of great beauty and tranquillity north of Rome. The pine corridors, natural terrain, and mature trees create a sense of seclusion and focus that is among the most distinctive in Roman golf.
Italian Open Heritage
Olgiata Golf Club has hosted numerous Italian Open championships, welcoming the world's best players to the pine forests north of Rome. Its championship pedigree and its place in the history of Italian golf make it one of the most respected courses in the country.
Roman Proximity
Olgiata sits just 15 minutes from central Rome — making it one of the most accessible historic private clubs in the Roman region. The combination of the classic golf, the pine forest setting, and the proximity to the Eternal City creates a travel experience of exceptional quality.
